Hello everyone! I am Roberta, a tourist guide operating in the Campania Region since 2015. I reside in Portici, a small town located 9 km south of Naples, overlooking the sea, with Mount Vesuvius behind it. It's just a few steps away from the Palace that the Bourbon kings constructed in the eighteenth century for their holidays, not far from the capital of the Kingdom. This palace housed the initial discoveries from the excavations of Herculaneum and later Pompeii. What better way to ignite a passion for art and archaeology? My parents instilled in me a love for culture, history, and a strong connection to our territory. I pursued classical studies in high school and continued at Federico II University in Naples, focusing on Art History and Archaeology. Simultaneously, I delved into my other great passion - playing the piano. I believe that music is a universal form of art that binds people across customs and traditions. In my daily work, I cherish the opportunity to meet diverse people from around the world, change my "office" every day, and proudly showcase the beauty of my region. I find joy in continuously learning, considering each encounter a mutual exchange that enriches me every time. I am a sociable, smiling, and ironic person. My goal is to ensure visitor satisfaction, so I am delighted to tailor guided tours to meet the needs of my guests and personalize every experience based on requests. The Campania region has been one of Italy's most visited places for centuries, thanks to the numerous wonders it boasts in terms of tourism and culture. The city of Naples alone offers a range of possible itineraries that are never boring, from landscapes to museums, from food and wine tours to tradition, craftsmanship, and folklore. Then there are the marvelous sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Amalfi Coast, the islands of Ischia, Capri, and Procida, and the Royal Palace of Caserta, just a few of the guided tours we can organize together. After all, the first person to have fun should be me! I'm looking forward to welcoming you! - Licenced Tourist Guide - Licenced Tourist Escort - Master's Degree in Archaeology and Art History from the University of Naples Federico II - Diploma in Piano from the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory in Naples I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Naples tour

Two thousand years ago, Herculaneum was the best choice for a nobleman looking for a peaceful and enchanting place to enjoy a holiday at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. With its sumptuous villas that overlooked the sea, terraces and gardens with colorful flowers where one could read a book and seek solace from the busy winter, it boasted an elegant theatre for live performance, a big gymnasium surrounded by marble columns, magnificent bath houses and bronze statues. Herculaneum was a delight. Today you can visit what is left of the well-preserved site to see for yourself original wooden doors, beds, windows and other furniture in the private houses or shops, amazing mosaics and frescoes and the skeletons of the victims found on the beach together with a boat and other objects of the daily life, still intact after such a tragedy. Herculaneum is the place where everything has been frozen in time by the fury of the volcano in 79 a. D. This can be customized!
