Hello! I 'm Barbara. I'm an authentic Neapolitan, born and raised here. I love this city and its environs. Unlike so many who live here in the Napoli area, I constantly take advantage of the incredible myriad of experiences available here. Growing up I turned my passion in my field of studies and expertise into my livelihood. I have a masters degree in History and archeology from the University Orientale of Naples (one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe) and I love to constantly upgrade my knowledge, especially about archaeology. Archeology is so fascinating for me because it is not a right science, a lot is already known and there is so much more yet to be known. About archaeology there is no greater source of information than in Pompeii with its constant and amazing new discoveries. The first time I visited Pompei I was 8 years old. I was with my mother, who is a history teacher and most of all a passionate scholar of Roman history. She shared with me her passion for history and art, and I love to do the same for you on my tours. My job is not just a job it's my passion, I LOVE making my clients knowledgeable about Naples and its neighbors, which is like nowhere else you have ever been on Earth. Who better to open your eyes to the charms of the fascinating city of Naples and all of the Campania region more than someone who is deeply in love with it? I love what I do, always sharing my knowledge to create fun, informative and memorable tour experiences, time after time. I think that every client is unique and therefore so is every tour. Whether you have been here many times or are a newbie, I focus on your preferences and create the ultimate itinerary that fits you and yours. As a result, together we build up a tour program that is sure to be delightful and most memorable experience for you and yours. For me, this is not a job, it's a joy! No scripted speeches or monologues. What you'll experience is an attentive, engaging and informative tour. I feel I am the luckiest person in Naples that I get to spend my time essentially on vacation with my guests for the day and having an awesomely fun time doing so. The interactivity, the curiosity, and the enthusiastic participation of my guests make my job so much more rewarding and fun. Customizing tours to specific interests and locales satisfies my need to constantly be creative. I get so much pleasure from experiencing memorable moments in history, architecture sights, amazing food, old traditions and spectacular views with you. Please join me on an unforgettable adventure you will keep with you for a lifetime. Master's Degree in history and art Licensed tour guide None.

We had a great full day tour with Barbara. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and spent the first part of the tour seeing the city of Naples. As one of our party has mobility issues, the use of a car was great and the driver was wonderful We got a good overview of the city and were able to appreciate the beautiful churches. We stopped for lunch at a great restaurant recommended by Barbara and then proceeded to Herculaneum which was amazing. Barbara was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the site. It was a pleasure to be part of a small group and to be party to Barbara's wealth of knowledge. Hightly recommend!

Extremely knowledgeable. Very personable. Easy to understand. Very sensitive to our needs as senior citizens (75 and 80) Would recommend her to anyone.

Barbara provided us with a wonderful tour of Naples today. We rode in an air conditioned Mercedes van, driven by a highly skilled gentleman, and also walked certain areas of the old city where Barbara thought we could better immerse ourselves in the surroundings. She also, at my request, brought us to an authentic local restaurant where we enjoyed delicious pizza and fried spaghetti. Barbara customized our half day tour so we did quite a bit in a relatively short period of time. The tour was also enhanced by her in-depth knowledge of Naples and love for the city. We highly recommend Barbara to anyone seeking a terrific experience in this beautiful city, and especially for those seeking to avoid the crowded cruise line excursions.

Our tour with Barbara was absolutely outstanding. We had expectations and they were exceeded by 100%. Barbara was incredibly informative and led us through an incredibly interesting day. We (family of 3) enjoyed every minute of this tour. It was definitely the absolute highlight of our journey. We highly recommend this tour, and more than anything else - we highly recommend Barbara. She is a walking encyclopedia regarding Pompeii. Many thanks for the intense history lesson, Larry, Antonia & Suzanne

This was the last day of a three day tour with Barbara. The walk around in the city streets was immersive and fascinating. The vibrancy, food stalls, churches, street musicians, parade, scooters zipping by etc., made it a very enjoyable experience. Barbara does a very good job of weaving history, politics, religion, etc into a very lively presentation, one is not listening to a canned tour guide talk. She hired excellent drivers who themselves were very interesting to talk to and listen to. Thanks, Barbara for three very enjoyable tours.
