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.

Overview of your Naples tour

Procida , Italy's Capital of Culture for 2022, is the tiniest islands in the Bay of Naples, incredibly it still under the radar of the international tourism. Maybe it is less known than the famous Capri or Ischia but it is the most authentic of all them. No crowds here, no designer shops but the soul of the Mediterranean island still deeply connected with its tradition and way of life. It has preserved a genuine, laid-back, and sleepy vibe. Procida is a mythological isle. Legend has it that this was the kingdom of the beautiful mermaid Partenope who founded the city of Naples. It is also famous for its colorful building, baroque churches and stunning volcanic beaches.

Your Naples tour itinerary

We will meet at Naples port "Molo beverello" from where with a fast ferry we will reach in 45 minutes the island of Procida. - Arrive at Marina Grande, Procida's main tourist port, - see a cluster of traditional houses along the waterfront, each one painted in vivid shades of pink, yellow, orange, red, and blue—traditionally a way for fishermen to identify them from their boats. - From here, it's a 15-minute walk uphill we will reach Marina di Corricella, Procida's oldest fishing village. Only reachable on foot or by boat, the area is the most iconic part of the island and a perfect spot for lunch in one of the traditional restaurants. - From here with a short walk we will visit Terra Murata, the fortified medieval prison from where you can enjoy one of the most incredible views of the city. - Later we will walk in the historical center toward la Chiaiolella the second port of the city with its long volcanic beach. THE TOUR AS A WHOLE OR PARTIALLY CAN BE CUSTOMIZED TO FIT YOUR PREFERENCES. PLEASE INQUIRE
