Ciao! I'm Yana, your professional tour guide to Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi coast. My goal is to help you make memories to cherish for a lifetime! I hold a degree in Languages and Archaeology. My passion for exploring ancient cultures and understanding the intricacies of language has driven me to pursue this unique combination of studies. I love uncovering the stories of the past and connecting them with the present through the power of language. As you wonder at the majesty of Mount Vesuvius, take in the history of the ancient city of Pompeii, and eat the world famous Neapolitan pizza, I want your trip to be seamless and stress-free while I inspire you with history and stories from the south of Italy. Each moment in our lives counts, and as your licensed guide, we get to skip the long lines at Pompeii and I will personally guide you to make the most of your time and know the most important aspects of this ancient Roman city. I first came to Italy inspired by the culture, history and people. My fascination for Italy intensified as I devoted several years to the study of Italian archaeology and art. This led to my becoming a professionally qualified local tour guide. My love for Asian culture has provided me balance and expanded my worldview (I previously lived in China for 5 years, where I learned to speak fluent Mandarin and now I am studying Japanese). In addition to my passion for all things Italy, my interests include music, dance, and Italian cuisine (I'm a big sweet tooth and Italian foodie!). I enjoy working with all people regardless of race, age, or sexual orientation. I particularly enjoy working with children and witnessing their awe as they first experience these Italian sites. My previous experiences have given me a unique perspective on these areas and I continue to learn from everyone I meet. I strongly believe that each person on this earth is unique, inspiring and has something to share. And I would love to share my passion for Naples and the Amalfi coast with you! - I'm a licensed Tour Guide and I'm able to guide you inside museums, archaeological areas , cities - Bachelor degree in Oriental Languages from Italian University L'Orientale, Naples, Italy - Specialist degree in International Relations from Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russia - Chinese Proficiency Test HSK level 5 I am not a driver.

A group of 3 were picked up at our hotel and taken first to Herculaneum which we viewed in it's entirety. Quite remarkable the degree of preservation of these 2000 year old artifacts. Then car service drove us to Pompeii, a much larger site that is spread out. We saw a good deal of it. Our guide Yana did a great job of explaining the history of what we were seeing, and getting us from relic to relic. Crowds in Pompeii were picking up, so we had to wait to see some things. Lots of walking, but it was all fascinating. Yana's English was very good, she has a great personality, and she shared lots of insight.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience touring Pompeii and Herculaneum with Yana. From start to finish, she really looked after us, making sure we were comfortable, engaged, and enjoying every moment of the tour. Yanas knowledge of both sites was incredible, and she explained everything in such great detail while keeping it interesting and easy to follow. The stories, history, and insights Yana shared really brought Pompeii and Herculaneum to life for us. What stood out most was how engaging and personable Yana was throughout the day. It never felt like a standard tour, it felt like a fascinating journey through history with a guide that is genuinely passionate about Italy and all the history it has to offer. We would highly recommend Yana and this tour to anyone looking to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum. It made our trip truly unforgettable!

We had a good tour with Yana. She arranged for a driver to meet us at the port and take us to Pompeii where we met her. After touring Pompeii, we took a quick lunch break and the driver took us to Herculaneum. She was very knowledgeable about Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Naples area and gave us a feeling for what Pompeii and Herculaneum were like in the ancient times. She made a reservation for us for lunch on the way back to the port and recommended a nearby great gelato place. The restaurant was a short walk from the port.
