Hello everyone, I'm Paolo, a professional archaeologist and licensed tourist guide (License No. 1792, Campania Region). I was born and raised in the heart of the Bay of Naples, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, an area renowned for its extraordinary archaeological heritage. Since childhood, I have been passionate about history and archaeology, especially because I grew up just a few minutes from the remarkable archaeological site of Herculaneum. As a child, I loved exploring the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, where I was fascinated by the greatness of Greek and Roman civilization. That passion eventually became my profession, leading me to pursue a career as both an archaeologist and a licensed tourist guide. I graduated cum laude from the University of Naples "L'Orientale" with a Master's Degree in Classical Archaeology. During my academic training, I participated in several archaeological excavations in Pompeii and Cumae, gaining valuable field experience that allows me to bring the ancient world to life for my guests. Over the years, I have developed extensive knowledge not only of Pompeii and Herculaneum, but also of Naples, whose historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Phlegraean Fields, and the stunning Amalfi Coast, including Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. This region is truly unique—a place where history, archaeology, breathtaking landscapes, and centuries-old traditions come together. It is also famous for its outstanding cuisine; after all, the world-famous Pizza Margherita was born here. I deeply love my homeland, rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, and I would be delighted to share it with you. My goal is to provide an authentic, engaging, and unforgettable experience, helping you discover the fascinating history and timeless charm of Southern Italy. Welcome to the real Italy. Credentials Archaeologist – Licensed Tourist Guide (License No. 1792) Master's Degree in Classical Archaeology (cum laude) from the University of Naples "L'Orientale", one of Italy's leading universities in the field of archaeology. Professional archaeologist with excavation experience in Pompeii and Cumae. Licensed Tourist Guide of the Campania Region. Specialist in Greek and Roman archaeology. More important than any qualification, however, is my passion for sharing the history and archaeology of this extraordinary region. Every tour is designed to be informative, engaging, and tailored to your interests, offering a unique opportunity to experience the ancient world through the eyes of an archaeologist.

Overview of your Naples tour

A guided tour of Pompeii ruins and a great drive along the Amalfi Coast with stops at Amalfi and Positano. I'm an archaeologist and a local licensed tour guide. I know the beauties of my land like few others and I love to show them with passion to all visitors. Passion and experience allow me to manage the tour in all its fundamental aspects. My driver and me will pick you up at your accommodation or at Cruise Port. The ancient city of Pompeii is probably the most important archaeological site in the world. It was an agricultural and commercial center where about 20000 people lived. It is a unique emotion to visit a Roman city that integrates in all its architectural aspects. Deemed an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape by Unesco, the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy's most memorable destinations. Here, mountains plunge into the sea in a nail-biting vertical scene of precipitous crags, cliff-clinging abodes and verdant woodland.

We had an excellent day with Paolo seeing Pompeii, Positano and the Amalfi Coast in a day. He was professional, knowledgeable and flexible. The vehicle and driver Paolo arranged was perfect and over all we had a beautiful day. Thank you Paolo! Until next time!

Paolo is super knowledgeable and passionate about Pompeii. The site is so big and complex we can't imagine having done it any other way. His tour took us to some absolute jewels of an amazing ancient city. If we were going to do it again we might think about spending more time in Pompeii and less on the Amalfi coast - it's a special place to be sure, but ends up being too much time on the road.
