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 all loved Ridley Scott's movie "The Gladiator" and the tv show Spartacus. The heroic deeds of Russell Crowe on the screen had caught everyone imagination. But, as always happens in the shows many falsehoods are perpetuated. At the height of the empire, gladiators games were closely connected to the cult of the emperor: Attending was a way to demonstrate belonging to a larger world. Paying to put on spectacles was, meanwhile, a way for local bigwigs to demonstrate their loyalty to a power system and using it to their own advantage. More than 2000 years gladiators games are one of the most familiar aspects of Roman culture, and one of the most misunderstood. In recent decades archeological discoveries are revealing the true story of ancient Rome favourite pastime. This tour follows the steps of the gladiators on a unique itinerary that includes the two most famous amphitheaters in Italy after the Colosseum: the arenas of Pompeii and Capua
Pick up at your accommodation in Naples by a private driver in a comfortable new van. We will drive to Capua where will visit the Ancient Amphitheater, second in size only to the Colosseum in Rome. The Capua Arena was the headquarter for one of the most important gladiator' school. From here Spartacus drove his rebellion in the 73 BC.

In the afternoon you will reach Pompeii the worldwide famous roman town. Like many things about ancient Rome, some of the best preserved evidence for gladiators come from Pompeii. We will visit the 22000-seat amphitheater on the east side of the city, the palestra, the barracks of the gladiator, the theatres area, the Menander's House, the termopolium, the bakeries and the forum the ancient market square
