Hi everybody, my name is Marcello. I'm specialized in high grade archeological and historical tours. Born and raised in Naples and belonging to a very old Neapolitan famiIy I've got the official license of Professional Tour Guide in 2000. Archaeological and historical tours are my core business but always based on keeping my clients "AWAY FROM THE MASSIVE TOURISM". I love my job. I love my country. I love giving not simple orientations but the "real essence" of every single spot you are interested in, observing all safety measures to reduce the Covid19 diffusion. My range of activities is the whole Campania Region, including all its archaeological and historical sites, like Pompeii, Herculaneum, Napoli, Paestum, royal palaces and museums. I'm also specialized in the painting of '500 and '600, like Caravaggio, Tiziano, Raffaello, Jusepe de Ribeira, Battistello Caracciolo, and all the painters who" mastered the light". In 2015 I've got specialization in roman currency as well. I do cooperate with the U. S. Syracuse University, and over the past years, I had interesting experiences while working with some International TV productions as expert in archeology and art. Some reviews about me have been written by Kerry Mullis (Noble Price), Donna Tart (Pulitzer in 2014), Zubin Meta ( World's greatest Orchestra Director), Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, the Jobs. . . . . . . . You can see me on the CBS Sunday morning news runned on May 19th 2019 or using the link https://www. cbsnews. com/video/a-perfect-cup-of-espresso/ I also worked with Samantha Brown, american documentary maker, for the documentary 'Passport to Europe' and recently I've been working for the worldwide magazine Conde N'Est Traveler as local expert in history. What else I can say, this is what I do with passion and responsibility……. . and always having a lot of fun. - Licensed Professional Tour Guide by Regione Campania Aut. n. 4071 - High Specialization Course in "Pompeii and the Sub-Vesuvian Roman Cities" - CFE, Cambridge First Certificate, British Council Institute of Naples None

Let's discover Pompeii, Sorrento & Positano in a full day private tour.
Overview of your Naples tour
For an amazing day trip I highly recommend my Pompeii, Sorrento & Positano tour. It is one of the most complete. I am specialized in high grade archaeological and historical tours and you'll have the opportunity to see: 1) the World's most important archaeological sites, Pompeii, declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Touring Pompeii WITH ME as expert in archeology, means exploring and moving away from the massive tourism, this way getting the real essence, learning and "feeling" how people lived more than two thousand years ago. 2) the natural beauties of Sorrento and Amalfi Coast, known for their amazing natural beauties. The english speaking driver-guide takes you to main places of interest, the charming little town of Sorrento and the picturesque village of Positano. Opportunity for lunch in a typical family owned restaurants to taste the authentic local food and free time at leisure for your shopping.

Marcello was amazing. He was so informative and knowledgeable. He not only provided us with extensive background on Pompeii, but was also able to answer any questions we asked. In this way, he tailored the tour to our interests. We found him engaging, funny, and enthusiastic. We felt it was a very unique and special tour, and we felt very lucky to have found him as a tour guide! We would absolutely use him again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mario was our guide to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. He was amazing! He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He gave us so much interesting information as we drove to each of our destinations and knew just where to take us when we arrived at each of out stops with great tips on the best things to see and do. He was very flexible and gave us good information and suggestions so we could decide how to best customize our experience. I highly recommend Mario for your tour and visit!

Completely exceeded all of our expectations!!! We are still talking about our Pomepii tour-- best tour of our trip!! Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour! Marcello was flexible with our timing, incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic and clearly loves sharing his love for Italy and archaeology. We visited Sorrento, drove the Amalfi Coast and enjoyed incredible views of Positano and then visited Pompeii where we were able to avoid crowds, see some hidden gems and learned so much.

Mario and Marcello gave us an unforgettable day in southern Italy. Mario met us at the Naples cruise port in his beautiful, clean Mercedes van and drove us along the stunning coast to Sorrento and Positano. He was incredibly warm and welcoming, sharing fascinating information about Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and life in the region. He was also patient and flexible as we explored the towns and asked questions along the way. In the afternoon, we met Marcello for our private tour of Pompeii. He was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. He brought the ruins to life in a way that truly captivated our daughters (ages 14 and 11), making the ancient city feel vibrant and real. Both Mario and Marcello were professional, kind, and made the entire day seamless and enriching. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
Your Naples tour itinerary
The tour start from your location (Naples, Sorrento, Salerno or nearby towns). At the beginning of the tour, together with the driver-guide, based on its experience and upon your request, you will make the arrangement for the itinerary, in order to avoid the morning or afternoon traffic. I suggest to go first to the Amalfi Coast (Positano) and Sorrento, where to spend an amazing morning and than to Pompeii and Herculaneum. Of course the tour can be done on the reverse way. You'll be taken all along the wonderful Coast by showing you Sorrento and Positano: steep cliffs, emerald green sea, some luxurious residences grabbing to the rocks and this incredible narrow road stretching along the coast. That is the State Road 163 which everyone know as the Amalfi Drive. The most spectacular twisting road of the World Once in Pompeii (doesn't matter if in the morning or in the afternoon) we will meet for the Archeological tour that takes about 2 hours and it will be tuned onto people desires and physical attitudes.
