Pompeii: A City Interrupted

I’m Chiara, a licensed local guide with over a decade of experience helping travelers fall in love with southern Italy — not just through facts and dates, but through the stories, symbols, and hidden corners that make Naples and Pompeii unforgettable. My approach is simple: I guide you the way I’d guide a friend. I grew up exploring Italian cities with a natural curiosity for what lies behind the obvious. Long before I knew what a “tour guide” was, I found myself showing travelers secret alleys, tiny chapels, hidden courtyards, and family-run shops while I was living in Venice (when I was a student at the university there). I thought I was just sharing places I loved — but people kept telling me, “This feels different.” That’s when I realized guiding wasn’t a job for me. It was instinct. Today, I bring that same instinct to Naples, my city, and to Pompeii. If you join me in Pompeii, you won’t just walk through ruins — you’ll step into the emotional heartbeat of a city frozen in time. If you follow me through Naples, you’ll experience the city the way locals do: authentic neighborhoods, incredible food traditions, symbolic details most visitors miss, and a vibrant culture that connects past and present in every street. My tours are warm, personal, and deeply curated. No rush, no rehearsed speech — just a friendly local who knows exactly where to take you to feel the real soul of this place. History is just the beginning — the real story is what you feel.
