Hi, I'm Dario. If you're looking for a tour guide don't go any further because you've found the right local to live an experience in Naples and its surroundings. I live in Naples. I was born here and after a long experience in tourism and traveling I became a licensed tour guide. It isn't enough just to have a license, it is necessary to have a deep passion for this job. Among several experiences I made along my career I want to tell you about an emblematic one. One day I was working and a stranger stopped and asked me: "Are you a tour guide"? I answered: "Yes I am". Then he said: "Remember that all the travellers will see our land through your eyes". Since that moment my mission became to give all of my clients the possibility to see, read, feel and understand the beauty of my land. Many foreign people think that Naples and its surroundings are only Pizza and mandolins, but they are so much more than this. The gulf of Naples was civilized around 3000 thousand years ago, it is a marvellous and complex mix of history, art, architecture, culture, nature, traditions and humanity. That's why if you want to have an idea of my country, I suggest you take one of my tours. Following the Neapolitan tradition, I will welcome you and make you feel at home. My purpose is taking you to discover my country, so that it can give you a memorable life experience. About me: I graduated in economics and high school in tourism reception. Along my education I always cultivated my great interest for art, history and archeology as Naples is very rich on this point of view, I am still studying them. I have acquired many job experiences in hotels, tour operator, travel agency and cruises. My passion is to travel. Thanks to my job on the cruise as the Tour Manager assistant I visited most of the Mediterranean countries. In Europe I visited many important capitals such as Madrid, Lisbon, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Prague. I lived in Great Britain for a year and in South America for several years. I travelled to Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba and Trinidad and Tobago. I speak fluent English and Spanish, both languages with level C2 international certification. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Herculaneum walking and guiding tour
Overview of your Naples tour
What is beauty? It's not easy to answer this question but Herculaneum is able to answer what the beauty of a Roman's city was. Why can this city be named noble? Smaller than Pompeii but more sophisticated, Herculaneum was situated just in front of the sea and was populated by the rich Roman's elite. As we know nature has an enormous creative and destructive power and Herculaneum, which was a thriving and beautiful city, was canceled from the earth by the terrible Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD. Covered by volcanic materials for centuries the city was able to preserve its charming appeal. There the rich Romans enjoyed a mild climate, admired the sea, ate the delicious fruits and vegetables and drank some of the most famous wines of the Roman empire. This place still represents the splendor and the opulence of the imperial era. Don't miss the opportunity to appreciate the glory of this city rooted in ancient mythology of Hercules.

The tour proceeds by visiting the ancient city and stopping at the elegant houses where you see frescoes and mosaics which were the witness of romans' lushness.
