Hi, I'm Marta an official local guide of Campania Region since 2014. I was born and I live in Salerno, a town in Southern Italy, close to the Amalfi Coast. I'm graduated in Foreign Languages (Arabic, Portuguese and English) and I have a Master Degree in History of Art and Cultural Heritage. I worked in Spain for two years with an Italian Tour Operator. I was selling package holidays to Spanish agencies. In 2014, I took my Tour Guide Licence, because I wanted to change direction with my career as a Tour guide. I started part-time working at the Botanical Garden of Salerno and teaching junior and secondary aged students in Orienteering, an outdoor sport. During this period, the Garden Tours Department asked me to take visitors on two hours tours of Salerno, which lead on to self-organised tours around the historical sites of Campania Region. Today, I do tours around the region, in particular, tours of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Amalfi, Ravello and Paestum. My tours are comprehensive, funny and are designed to inform you about the people, culture and history of this wonderful land. I aim to grab the interest of visitors, deepening the understanding of local history, using the anecdotal history alongside the classical facts. Please feel free to contact me to plan your tours. 2016: Orienteering Course 2014: Tour Guide Licence 2010: Master Degree in History of Art and Cultural Heritage 2008: Undergraduate Degree in Foreign Languages I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

I love showing people Pompeii and teaching them all the little stories I learned during my personal studies. My 3 hours Pompeii tour is a great tour to first time visitors. I will introduce you the main points of the ancient Roman Life and Roman Art. My explanation will start from the facts that preceded the AD 79 eruption. I will tell you the historical testimonies of people who lived in that time. And then I will show you the ruins of the town after the catastrophe. I will illustrate you the public buildings such as, The Basilica (the town hall), the Macellum (the market), the temples. I will explain you the architecture of the buildings, the political life and the habits of the different social classes. Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world that you can visit older than 2000 years exactly as it was because of the eruption materials covered the buildings completely. During the visit, we will aim to see, the baths, the forum, the frozen citizens of Pompeii etc
We had a very good 3 hour tour from Marta. She arrived exactly on time and took us on a "first timers" tour of Pompeii and made sure we saw a lot of highlights, making the most of our time. Marta was very knowledgeable indeed and her English was very good. She made helpful suggestions about our continued tour after she had finished.
Marta was amazing. She took time to ensure that we were seeing things that we were interested in seeing. She was very knowledgeable on the details of Pompeii. We also appreciated the care and respect she showed to the archeological site.
Marta has an excellent knowledge of the region. She is passionate about the history of this area. I am sure she has done this tour many times but she still obviously loves it. We would love to tour with her again.
Marta was an excellent guide to show us around Pompeii for our first visit. She shared lots of information and showed us very interesting architecture and frescoes. Thanks Marta for a wonderful visit!
Marta was a great tour guide. Lots of information and details. Thank you!
Exploring Pompeii with Marta was exceptional. Her expertise brought the ruins to life, weaving together history, daily life, and dramatic moments from 79 AD with clarity and passion. She guided us through gems and iconic spots, making each stop rich with insight and emotion. Marta’s storytelling transformed ancient stones into living history. A truly immersive and unforgettable experience ; highly recommended.
