A Neapolitan by birth, a Tour Guide by heart. I was born and raised in Napoli, and have 20 years of experience in Campania's receptive tourism. Captivated by culture and beauty, I started out in a travel agency, then acquired a Tour Leader license and finally qualified as an Official Tour Guide. After a few years behind a desk, I realized that my place in the world was alongside real people, exploring my beautiful land. I love seeing the wonder in the eyes of those who are captured by the beauty of my land. As a traveler too, I believe every trip experienced needs to be a once in lifetime moment. Napoli Bay has 2700 years of history, different dominions and cultures throughout the centuries, with signs of each present everywhere, if you know how to observe! We are a rich volcanic area, which provides us with great fertility, that has lead to our amazing quality food and great wine heritage. Plus all around, we're surrounded by culture, art, nature, archaeology, breathtaking landscapes, royal palaces & castles, museums, traditions, music, folklore and countless hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Come around with me. Are you ready for these wonders? I have significant experience working with both individuals and groups, cruises and shore excursions, as well as with big tour operators. I have specialized for Napoli, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Phlaegrean Fields, Sorrento and Amalfi Coast.

I may still be able to accommodate you. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Please note that I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port only through the driver. I will meet you directly at the designated meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Discover the extraordinary Roman city frozen in time by volcanic ash.
Overview of your Pompei tour
Pompeii is a truly unique place, a 164-acre Roman city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Preserved by volcanic ash, it offers an extraordinary journey back nearly 2,000 years. On this tour, we will walk along ancient stone streets, exploring elegant houses, bakeries, baths, shops, gardens, and beautifully decorated fountains. You will see remarkable villas adorned with frescoes and mosaics, as well as the city’s sophisticated infrastructure, including its aqueduct system and lead pipes. We will discover the heart of Roman public life at the Forum, with its Basilica and temples, and learn about daily life, religion, and culture in this advanced civilization. Finally, we will view the famous plaster casts of the victims — powerful reminders of the dramatic eruption that froze Pompeii in time.
