A Neapolitan by birth, a Tour Guide by heart. I was born and raised in Napoli, and have 20 years of experience in Campania's receptive tourism. Captivated by culture and beauty, I started out in a travel agency, then acquired a Tour Leader license and finally qualified as an Official Tour Guide. After a few years behind a desk, I realized that my place in the world was alongside real people, exploring my beautiful land. I love seeing the wonder in the eyes of those who are captured by the beauty of my land. As a traveler too, I believe every trip experienced needs to be a once in lifetime moment. Napoli Bay has 2700 years of history, different dominions and cultures throughout the centuries, with signs of each present everywhere, if you know how to observe! We are a rich volcanic area, which provides us with great fertility, that has lead to our amazing quality food and great wine heritage. Plus all around, we're surrounded by culture, art, nature, archaeology, breathtaking landscapes, royal palaces & castles, museums, traditions, music, folklore and countless hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Come around with me. Are you ready for these wonders? I have significant experience working with both individuals and groups, cruises and shore excursions, as well as with big tour operators. I have specialized for Napoli, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Phlaegrean Fields, Sorrento and Amalfi Coast.

Discover the unique history, traditions, superstitions, and beliefs that make Naples so special.
Overview of your Naples tour
Naples has over 2,700 years of history, and its city center preserves the same road layout for more than two millennia. It is a place of extraordinary cultural stratification, shaped by the Greeks and twelve successive dominations until the unification of Italy. Each square reveals a different historical layer, visible in its architecture, monuments, traditions, street food, and the deep-rooted devotion to the cult of the Purgatory souls. Walking through its narrow alleys and historic churches, you will discover strong traces of Greek and Roman heritage alongside vibrant modern life. Highlights include the Neapolitan crib art tradition, the underground city, Europe’s oldest opera house, the Royal Palace, and its impressive castles. Naples uniquely blends superstition and faith, safeguarding the treasure of its patron saint, San Gennaro — a symbol of heritage and identity. A city of 1,000 colours, 1,000 worlds, and endless discoveries.
