Hello! My name is Viviana, I was born and raised in the wonderful Sorrento also known to be called "the land of the sirens". My love for art, archeology and languages started since I was a young law student. After my law degree I decided to change my path and follow my passion. Being a tour guide was a strong and true calling, it turn to be my full time job. My passion for travels lead me out of my comfort zone and made me spend some time abroad. I've lived in the States, Portugal, Spain and Brazil. I've became very confident with the language I speak and the culture of the place I visited. My professional career into tourism started as a representative of tour agencies in the Region Campania. I've studied art, history of art and archeology in Florence and I qualified as a tour guide. Here the magic happened! Day after day I fell in love with the beauty of my wonderful country. I enjoy each corner of my Region and I can't stop appreciate the beauty and the energy of it. Strolling around the small and ancient streets of the archeological park of Pompeii and Herculaneum I'm fascinated all the time more by frescos, mosaics and impressed by the progress and high engineering of the ancient Roman civilization. My law degree allows me to share my knowledge with a very critical point of view with a little bit of humor. My favorite dimension to work with is small group and personal tours, tailored made. I'm very family friendly and I like kids curiosity and enthusiasm, I'm the Italian "Zia Viviana ". My idea of tour is a walk with a local friend that shows the best of the place that's why is very important for me to create a friendly and informal connection. Can't wait to take you around!

Overview of your Naples tour
If Pompeii was one of the biggest city in the Campania Region, Herculaneum was the fancy residential area for rich patricians. Located below a slope of the Vesuvius volcano and facing the seaside, Herculaneum was affected by the same eruption of the 79 AD that destroyed Pompeii. No ashes in here. It was hot mud that covered the small elegant city burning everything and carbonizing organic artifacts. Nowadays carbonized evidence like doors, boat, food and bed are the peculiarities of this archeological park. Less known than Pompeii but not less fascinating, Herculaneum is going to be a nice surprise. Get to know the sweet laziness of the Ancient Roman otium.
