I'm Dario R., your private tour guide in Naples
Guide #54611
Hi, I'm Dario, a licensed local guide in Naples with 10 years of experience and a background as tour manager on cruise ships across the Mediterranean. You only get one shot at this trip. I make sure you don't spend it wandering around without understanding what you're looking at, or stuck with a guide who barely speaks your language. Beyond what's required for the license, I've spent years studying the history, art and archaeology of this area on my own, because I don't want to just recite dates, I want to actually understand what we're looking at, and help you understand it too. If you're arriving by cruise, I build the day around your ship's schedule, with private pick-up and drop-off, so you're back on board on time, guaranteed. And you're always in direct contact with me, not an agency. A stranger once stopped me while I was working and asked, "Are you a tour guide?" I said yes. He replied, "Remember that all the travellers will see your land through your eyes." That's still my job: not reciting dates, but making you feel the 3,000 years of history behind Naples, so it becomes the part of the trip you'll talk about for years. About me: degree in Economics, background in luxury hotels, tour operators and cruise lines, which took me across most of the Mediterranean and many European capitals. I lived in the UK for a year and in South America for several years. I speak fluent English and Spanish, both C2 certified. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Our party of 4 adults joined Dario for an outstanding 3 hour tour at the Pompeii Archaeological Park that included the newly uncovered areas.

Dario - made our time in Pompeii special. He is knowledgeable, entertaining, and organized. He showed the how people lived, the incredible engineering and art in this amazing Roman city - and drew the parallels to current time. If you are going to Pompeii the hiring Dario is a must.

September 2026Hi Mike! Thank you so much for your wonderful review and your kind words. I’m very happy to hear that the way I conduct the tour engaged you and helped you see how a Roman city from 2,000 years ago can come back to life. It was a real pleasure sharing Pompeii with you.
