I’m Chiara, a licensed local guide with over a decade of experience helping travelers fall in love with southern Italy — not just through facts and dates, but through the stories, symbols, and hidden corners that make Naples and Pompeii unforgettable. My approach is simple: I guide you the way I’d guide a friend. I grew up exploring Italian cities with a natural curiosity for what lies behind the obvious. Long before I knew what a “tour guide” was, I found myself showing travelers secret alleys, tiny chapels, hidden courtyards, and family-run shops while I was living in Venice (when I was a student at the university there). I thought I was just sharing places I loved — but people kept telling me, “This feels different.” That’s when I realized guiding wasn’t a job for me. It was instinct. Today, I bring that same instinct to Naples, my city, and to Pompeii. If you join me in Pompeii, you won’t just walk through ruins — you’ll step into the emotional heartbeat of a city frozen in time. If you follow me through Naples, you’ll experience the city the way locals do: authentic neighborhoods, incredible food traditions, symbolic details most visitors miss, and a vibrant culture that connects past and present in every street. My tours are warm, personal, and deeply curated. No rush, no rehearsed speech — just a friendly local who knows exactly where to take you to feel the real soul of this place. History is just the beginning — the real story is what you feel.

I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port via the driver. I’ll meet you at the meeting point.

Overview of your Naples tour

While Pompeii shows the scale of Roman life, Herculaneum reveals its intimacy. This private tour focuses entirely on Herculaneum, an exceptionally preserved town buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Sealed by volcanic material, it protected upper floors, wooden beams, doors, balconies, and organic details rarely seen elsewhere in the ancient world. As we walk its streets, we enter houses that still feel alive — refined interiors, vivid decoration, and spaces that make daily life remarkably clear. We also visit the waterfront, where the final moments of the city were discovered centuries later. Carefully paced and immersive, this experience is ideal for travelers who value preservation, detail, and a quieter, more intimate encounter with the Roman world.
