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.

Are you a Roman history enthusiast ? This is the perfect tour for you!! Unlike the standard two hours tours that only offer you just a quick glance of the city this tour will give the opportunity to enjoy a complete and informative visit of this extraordinary place. Pompeii as you know is huge archeological site. The city covered a total of 67 hectare (170 acres) and was home to 15000 to 25000 people based on household counts. But most of all Pompeii is the main source of informations about the daily life in the roman time. Under the volcanic ash, the city had been beautifully preserved, an open window on the roman time. Is also the only archeological site constantly able to surprise the visitors with new excavations and new theories. eii is the main source of informations about the daily life in the roman time.

Barbara was an excellent guide for our four-hour private tour of Pompeii. She is very knowledgeable about the art, architecture, and culture of the ancient civilization. The tour was the best part of my entire week in Italy! Highly recommended.
Barbara provided us with a unique perspective on history of Pompeii from the influence of the Greeks to Roman times. Her knowledge of the history and her ability to tell the story during our tour was amazing. I highly recommend booking her for her fantastic insights and knowledge of Pompeii.
Great tour guide! Excellent understanding of the destination. Good tour pace. Enjoyed our tour very much.
Barbara was an exceptional guide and a great pleasure to be with for the day. She was not only friendly, but also incredibly informational and a great experience. Over our day she took us all over Pompeii, and always took us where we wanted. She was extremely knowledgeable, and what we expected and more. She always told us information we didn't know, showed us some of the less known sites, and had many historical anecdotes to tell us.
Barbara is a terrific guide and advocate for Naples, a stunningly handsome city. She has an archeologist's knowledge of Pompei, but after graciously adjusting the program in the wake of my misunderstanding it was as a native Neapolitan with excellent English that she made our too limited time a rewarding immersion in the heart of the city, our first interest. She's the perfect guide for anyone who wants to see not only Pompei, but dazzling Naples.
