Ciao! I'm Yana, your professional tour guide to Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi coast. My goal is to help you make memories to cherish for a lifetime! I hold a degree in Languages and Archaeology. My passion for exploring ancient cultures and understanding the intricacies of language has driven me to pursue this unique combination of studies. I love uncovering the stories of the past and connecting them with the present through the power of language. As you wonder at the majesty of Mount Vesuvius, take in the history of the ancient city of Pompeii, and eat the world famous Neapolitan pizza, I want your trip to be seamless and stress-free while I inspire you with history and stories from the south of Italy. Each moment in our lives counts, and as your licensed guide, we get to skip the long lines at Pompeii and I will personally guide you to make the most of your time and know the most important aspects of this ancient Roman city. I first came to Italy inspired by the culture, history and people. My fascination for Italy intensified as I devoted several years to the study of Italian archaeology and art. This led to my becoming a professionally qualified local tour guide. My love for Asian culture has provided me balance and expanded my worldview (I previously lived in China for 5 years, where I learned to speak fluent Mandarin and now I am studying Japanese). In addition to my passion for all things Italy, my interests include music, dance, and Italian cuisine (I'm a big sweet tooth and Italian foodie!). I enjoy working with all people regardless of race, age, or sexual orientation. I particularly enjoy working with children and witnessing their awe as they first experience these Italian sites. My previous experiences have given me a unique perspective on these areas and I continue to learn from everyone I meet. I strongly believe that each person on this earth is unique, inspiring and has something to share. And I would love to share my passion for Naples and the Amalfi coast with you! - I'm a licensed Tour Guide and I'm able to guide you inside museums, archaeological areas , cities - Bachelor degree in Oriental Languages from Italian University L'Orientale, Naples, Italy - Specialist degree in International Relations from Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russia - Chinese Proficiency Test HSK level 5 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Naples tour

During 3 hour Pompeii tour you will experience and learn the unique story of Pompeii, the ancient city buried and preserved under layers of ash as a result of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD. Save your time on looking for the way to reach Pompeii on your own, your professional driver is already INCLUDED and he will pick you up from any meeting point in Naples (the port, your hotel, train station) and take you back after the tour. We will visit the most important areas of Pompeii and I will answer important questions such as: Why did the Romans build the city next to a fire spitting volcano? How many victims were found and where can we see them? What was the Roman diet and how do we know this? Where did all the ash go after Pompeii was excavated? Let me help you to make your Pompeii experience unforgettable! You won't need to line up for the tickets, remember, it's a STRESS FREE tour :) *** This tour can be customized according to your specific interest

I've wanted to see Pompeii since I was 7. It took 67 years, but Yana made it worth the wait. This wasn't simply a vacation highlight, it was a LIFE highlight. Who gets to tour Pompeii with a research archaeologist? My wife and I did. First, I was so overwhelmed entering Pompeii that I forgot to photograph the arena, which is the first thing one sees. Yana brought things back to earth with a carefully detailed narrative -- which included the brand-new grapevines which will bring Pompeii its own wines in the near future. But everywhere I looked, Yana had a fascinating story to tell. We got to Main St. and I looked to see what went on and on; I was certain we'd never reach the end. We didn't; Yana knew exactly where to exit Main St. and enter the display of casts of the Pompeii citizens - as profound an experience as I've ever had. We spent as much time as necessary examining the displays, never rushed, every question answered. We emerged back at the arena and to my delight, went inside, where Yana acted the gladiator for a few laughs to complete our journey through the past. I didn't mention that for most of the trip, Yana was pushing my wife in a wheelchair that made it possible for her to enjoy the journey. I could go on and on, but I'll conclude by saying it was the experience of a lifetime. If you're lucky enough to experience it with Yana, it will be something you'll never ever forget. Another thing I'll mention is that she knew exactly how much we could take; any more would have been truly exhausting. What we saw was as much as we could take in one day, and she knew it. Yana surpassed all our expectations, and she has our lifelong gratitude for making it such a life experience! WE LOVE YOU, YANA!

Our driver, Anthony, was waiting when we arrived. He was fun to visit with on the drive. Yana is a delightful guide! She is extremely knowledgeable of Pompeii and the daily life that took place there long ago. We feel as though we saw things that others might miss without her experienced guiding. My husband has difficulty being on his feet for long spells. Yana was very cognizant of this and took special care to see that he could find a place to rest along the way. Don't miss this tour with Yana!

Pompeii is a wonder and one that is difficult to appreciate without a knowledgeable guide. Yana is that guide. She was able to teach us about the people, culture, architecture, daily lives, and history of Pompeii in great detail and really made the city come alive for us. On a personal level we toured Pompeii on a weekend during high tourist season with my older mother. Yana was accommodating and set a thoughtful pace ensuring my mother felt comfortable throughout the day and advocated for her comfort .

Yana was welcoming, extremely knowledgeable, great with communication and able to work w our schedules. We were in Italy 9 days and Pompeii w Yana was the highlight of our trip. You'll leave Pompeii w a visual respect for what it once was and all the facts to amaze dinner party guests when you return home. Do not skip this opportunity! Book w Yana. 100% worth it.

Wonderful tour with Yana. She's very knowledgeable and has a great, warm personality. The tour was such a pleasure. We saw so much of Pompeii during our tour. And the transportation worked flawlessly. It was our first time to Pompeii, and Yana gave us the perfect introduction!
