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

Vesuvio and Pompei are strictly connect. The Vesuvio National park offer an extraordinary experience. The park is rich in natural resources, history of vulcanology, breath-taking landscapes, age old cultivations and traditions that make it one of the area most visited in the world. The big eruption of the volcano in the 79 ad with one of the biggest human tragedy that destroyed overnight the life in the area. The conseguenze of this tragedy offer us today one of the most magical archeological site: Pompei. Pompei catches everyone imagination. An ancient Roman city that vanished in a volcanic eruption. Under the volcanic ash, the city had been beautifully preserved, an open window on the roman time. We will walk on 2000 years old streets, surrounded by great public building like the well-preserved theatres' area, the richly decorated public thermal baths towards the Foro (the main square).

We had a wonderful day on this tour. We were promptly picked up at the train station as arranged by Andrea. He drove us around all day, waiting on us at each stop. Along the route he was very informative. We hiked up Mt. Vesuvius before heading to meet Barbera at Pompeii. The sites were amazing and Barbera was very informative while showing us Pompeii. Our 9yo was with us and had a great time! He even loved (as did we) our vineyard tour and lunch with a wine tasting for the adults. Can't recommend this tour enough!

Pompeii and Herculaneum present different views of life at the time of eruption. One must see both to have an appreciation of this difference. Prior to Pompeii, I toured Herculaneum with Barbara. She did a very good job of pointing out the differences and connecting the dots. I also got a better understanding of the difference in the nature of destruction at the two sites. My hike to the top of Vesuvius was well organized and I had no logistical difficulties. Overall I am very pleased with this tour.

Barbara was very knowledgeable about Pompeii - such an interesting place to tour. We also enjoyed the hike to Vesuvius. The wine tour was underwhelming but the multi-course lunch with wine pairing on an outdoor terrace with a scenic view made up for the tour. Our driver was excellent.
