Ciao! I'm Yana, your professional tour guide to Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi coast. My goal is to help you make memories to cherish for a lifetime! I hold a degree in Languages and Archaeology. My passion for exploring ancient cultures and understanding the intricacies of language has driven me to pursue this unique combination of studies. I love uncovering the stories of the past and connecting them with the present through the power of language. As you wonder at the majesty of Mount Vesuvius, take in the history of the ancient city of Pompeii, and eat the world famous Neapolitan pizza, I want your trip to be seamless and stress-free while I inspire you with history and stories from the south of Italy. Each moment in our lives counts, and as your licensed guide, we get to skip the long lines at Pompeii and I will personally guide you to make the most of your time and know the most important aspects of this ancient Roman city. I first came to Italy inspired by the culture, history and people. My fascination for Italy intensified as I devoted several years to the study of Italian archaeology and art. This led to my becoming a professionally qualified local tour guide. My love for Asian culture has provided me balance and expanded my worldview (I previously lived in China for 5 years, where I learned to speak fluent Mandarin and now I am studying Japanese). In addition to my passion for all things Italy, my interests include music, dance, and Italian cuisine (I'm a big sweet tooth and Italian foodie!). I enjoy working with all people regardless of race, age, or sexual orientation. I particularly enjoy working with children and witnessing their awe as they first experience these Italian sites. My previous experiences have given me a unique perspective on these areas and I continue to learn from everyone I meet. I strongly believe that each person on this earth is unique, inspiring and has something to share. And I would love to share my passion for Naples and the Amalfi coast with you! - I'm a licensed Tour Guide and I'm able to guide you inside museums, archaeological areas , cities - Bachelor degree in Oriental Languages from Italian University L'Orientale, Naples, Italy - Specialist degree in International Relations from Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russia - Chinese Proficiency Test HSK level 5 I am not a driver.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure sharing Pompeii with you. Wishing you many more amazing travels!
My family did the Pompeii & pizza tour with Yana and it was exactly what we were looking for. Our group consisted of 3 adults, a 15-year-old and a 9-year-old. Yana met us right at the Salerno ferry stop, which made it easy for us coming from Amalfi. She was absolutely wonderful with my kids, and both my teenager and my 9-year-old had nothing but good things to say about...

Our family of 16 (grandparents, parents and grandkids) had the pleasure of touring Pompeii with Yana. She was exceptional in every sense of the word.

Yana was AMAZING! She was a great tour guide. Very informative and made the tour fun. She always was great with my girls. We had three kids on our tour ages 7, 9, and 12. She was patient with them and made the tour enjoyable for them as well.
