Welcome to Naples! My name is Alessandra and I have been a Licensed Tour Guide of Campania Region since 2004. I am truly passionate about Naples. My grandad, who was an expert in history and classical music, passed on his deep love to me when I was a child, telling me the history of Naples, its legends and taking me to visit Pompeii, Herculaneum and the city museums almost every weekend! Since then I have never stopped reading and studying about Naples. I was born in Naples city centre and after working all around the world (the UK, Iran, North Italy), I have chosen to come back to Naples to live here and to enjoy every day its incredible, unusual and unique beauty. Naples is an open-air museum and a vibrant stage where travellers can take part in its colourful performances. Visiting Naples means to experience also its intangible cultural heritage, made up of its traditional and contemporary music, its moving melange of Mediterranean colours. Walking through its markets, you can be invaded by inebriating fragrances of aromatic herbs and spices, which invite you to taste one of the most delicious cuisines of the world . It is impossible to resist Neapolitan street food! Moreover, people, with their warmth and exhilarating dialect will make your trip unforgettable. The list of experiences you can have in Naples is almost endless! I am an independent traveller and during my journeys abroad, I always look for the "authenticity" of my experiences. And as a tourist guide, the authenticity is what I would like to share with my guests, together with accuracy and attention to detail. Therefore, I usually propose a mix of historical and mythological elements, showing secrets that only locals know, in order to enjoy the Neapolitan way of life, without forgetting its night movida. I am an expert swimmer too, and I love snorkelling to take pictures of the local sea life and of underwater archaeological remains, lying a few meters under the sea levels. For this reason, I also organise snorkelling tours to discover the treasures in the Gulf of Naples by kayak or by traditional motorboats, called "gozzo". Beyond the range of tours I propose, if you are interested in a specially tailor-made tour, do not hesitate to contact me. Moreover, each tour can be enriched with lessons to make the real Neapolitan Pizza or lessons to learn the basic Neapolitan language! Master of Art in Translation Studies at Warwick University, Degree In Foreign Languages and Literatures (English and Russian), Licensed Tour Guide of Campania Region, First Aid Training Course, Theatre of Absurd and Neapolitan Theatre courses, Sailing School courses I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

We enjoyed our walking tour with Alessandra. On our first trip to Naples, it was great to spend time with someone who was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about her home city. Our experience ranged from visits to churches and monuments to markets to street art. We would recommend Alessandra to anyone interested in getting to know Naples.
Alessandra was an amazing tour -guide. Polite and tolerate with our group when we could not respond. we had an excellent time!!!
We had the pleasure of touring Naples with Alessandra, and she was absolutely wonderful! Her deep knowledge of the city and genuine love for it made the experience so engaging. Despite our group of 13 being quite diverse, Alessandra was incredibly accommodating, making sure everyone’s interests were covered. She went above and beyond to tailor the tour for us, ensuring we all had a memorable time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
Alessandra was so accommodating during the planning process with our schedule and list of places we wanted to visit. She even sent a reminder to purchase tickets to Veiled Christ sculpture. During the tour she was engaging with history including the funny stories, legends, and myths. We thoroughly enjoyed learning so much and experiencing the beauty & wonder of Naples art, history, and culture.
Alessandra was patient communicating with us ahead of our arrival. She sorted a perfect 5-hour personal history tour of Naples for us full of insight and care. Her dedicated focus to our needs was superb. She knows Naples well! And has an opinion of its future based on experience and more.
Alessandra was a wonderful private guide for our group of five adults. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about Naples and its history, culture, people and architecture. She was also very helpful in relation to practical questions we asked about. She was flexible and accommodated our schedule, and tailored the tour to our interests. Highly recommended!
