Hello everybody, my name is Francesco. I'm a licensed tourist guide for the Campania Region. Local history is my great passion since I was a child and I feel lucky to have grown up in Torre Annunziata, a town by the sea in the middle of the amazing Bay of Naples, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius and just 5 minutes away from the ruins of Pompeii. I've been working giving tours for 18 years. After my studies, initially, I collaborated with some Mt. Vesuvius volcano guides, as a courier on a private bus with a private driver to pick up guests from different hotels and to lead them to the crater for a tour of the volcano. Later, I got the license as a local tourist guide and since then, every day I'm in a different fantastic place of the Campania Region: Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Amalfi Coast, Mt. Vesuvius, Sorrento, Naples, Paestum, Phlegraean Fields. I have had a lot of experience leading shore excursions for cruise passengers and leading tours for families, couples and small parties. My tours are easy. I give all the historical, artistic and archaeological details but also information about food, customs and way of life of the locals. I also love telling anecdotes and funny stories related to the local history and traditions. Of course, you know that Italy is the country of the good food. Campania Region is popular for its specialities and no doubt everywhere we go I can recommend you a place "for locals" to let you taste the most typical delicacies. Also, I collaborate with local food and beverage producers to arrange demonstrations and cooking classes (for pasta, mozzarella cheese, wine, coffee, pizza, pastries, ice cream, olive oil, limoncello, etc. ). It's possible to customize the tours to your needs. Please, send me a message to let me know your requests and we can build up your tours together. I would like you will experience your tours in the Bay of Naples with me. Look forward to meeting you.

I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Naples tour

In AD 79 a tremendous eruption of the volcano Mt. Vesuvius buried Pompeii, a Roman city, under a 25 feet deep layer of ash and lapilli. Today, Pompeii is the most important archaeological site in the world. Nowhere but Pompeii you can walk so ancient streets full of traces of life. You can enter the houses where people lived, the temples where they prayed, the places where they went for entertainment. You can see the tracks of their carts on the surface of streets, the piping of the public running water supply, the "petrified" bodies of the victims of the eruption. Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano that destroyed Pompeii, is still active and it is considered, today, the most dangerous volcano in the world. Mt. Vesuvius is also one of the most visited volcano in the world. From the top it's possible to look in the depth of the crater and to admire all the bay of Naples. A tour of Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius is the best way to enjoy nature and history in the bay of Naples. I'll give all the historical details!

Your Naples tour itinerary

We meet at the meeting location agreed. We drive to Mt. Vesuvius (about 45 minutes away from Naples or Salerno and 1 hour and a half/2 hour from Sorrento and Amalfi Coast). We get off the car at the entrance of the pedestrian path leading up to the top of the volcano. The walk to the crater takes about 20 minutes. Once on the top we walk around the crater (about 1 hour) and at the end we go back to the car (about 20 minutes). We drive from Mt. Vesuvius to Pompeii (about 40 minutes). It is possible to make a stop for lunch on the way to Pompeii or to have lunch in Pompeii before the archeological tour. In the ruins we go to see public buildings (theatres, temples, baths, etc. ), private houses and shops and the city centre. The tour in the archeological area takes about 2 hours. At the end of the tour in the archaeological park, we drive back to the drop-off point.
