Hi, I'm Ilaria, an official Local tourist Guide licensed in Campania Region. I've studied Art and Languages to pursue my true passion: to be in contact with other cultures and backgrounds and to communicate to others my love for my country. I've been working as tour leader for 15 years developing strong relationships with my clients and my purpose is to provide a high quality service for travelers who want to melt culture, art and fun! My greatest strength as a tourist guide? I'm enthusiastic and I clearly love my hometown: I live in Naples and I have always been passionate and proud of its millenia of history. My idea of guided tour goes beyond the usual tourist route: I think that the best way to explore a new destination is to experience the culture and lifestyle, delving into the history, the customs and the amenities of a country to gain a more intimate perspective of the area. So let's go together to discover Campania region. Look forward to meeting you Official licensed Tour Guide of Campania Region. Bachelor Degree in Modern Greek and English language. I am not a driver.

Overview of your Naples tour

A private tour of Pompeii Archaeological Park is a unique opportunity to explore a Roman city frozen in time. Buried under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and forgotten for centuries, Pompeii was rediscovered and revealed in extraordinary detail, offering an unmatched insight into ancient life. This experience goes beyond a traditional guided tour. With years of experience on site, I will lead you through the ruins with a storytelling approach that brings Pompeii back to life — not just through history, but through the everyday experiences of its inhabitants. Expect a relaxed pace, attention to detail, and a genuine exchange of ideas. As a private tour, your questions and curiosity are always welcome, making the visit engaging, personal, and truly memorable.

Wow, Pompeii with Ilaria exceeded all my expectations. Pompeii is obviously a marvel to explore, and having an incredibly personable and knowledgeable tour guide in Ilaria took it over the top. She was fun to talk with and learn from and was able to adjust when my mother-in-law had some issues with the stone streets. We had 3 generations of family that all enjoyed our experience with her. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone for a tour of Pompeii or other sites in the area!!

We really enjoyed our tour of Pompeii with Ilaria. We booked a 2-hour tour but the time went quickly and we could have gone longer. She was clear, articulate, and very informative. We highly recommend Ilaria to anyone who is considering a tour of Pompeii or Herculaneum.

I have wanted to see Pompeii since childhood, and it did not disappoint. The tragic beauty and history of the site was only made better by our guide Ilaria. With a degree in art history, and an obvious love for the area and its past, she enriched this already rich experience with her facts and tales of ancient Pompeiians and the day to day world of their lives. The site is quite large, and Ilaria made certain we saw all the best of Pompeii. She also arranged (for an extra charge of course) to customizecf I our tour by having a private driver pick us up by the cruise terminal, and recommended a local pizzeria for lunch upon our return. Yum! I highly recommend Ialria. She is charming, friendly, and oh so knowledgeable!

Ilaria was fantastic! She is very knowledgeable about Pompeii and Italy in general. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with her. We only had a couple hours in Pompeii but she made the most of our time and focused on highlights of such an enormous place in Italy. We highly recommend her for any tour you may be interested in!

Ilaria gave us a fantastic 2 hour tour of Pompeii. I couldn't rate her highly enough, she was great on all facets: knowledgable, friendly, great english, responsive.

We were delighted with Ilaria and her skill in bringing Pompeii to life for us. It was quickly apparent she has a deep knowledge, enthusiasm and understanding of the city and it's past inhabitants. She took us through most of the major buildings and pointed out interesting detail. Ilaria dealt with our many questions with ease and gave us choices about what we wanted to see. As well as understanding the historical significance of the site we also left feeling the terrible impact of the disaster. Superb.
