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.

Pompeii is a magical site. It catches everyone imagination. An ancient Roman city that vanished overnight in a volcanic eruption. Under the volcanic ash, the city had been beautifully preserved, an open window on the roman time. Pompeii is also my unending passion, started when I was 8 years old and I visited it for the first time. The only archeological site constantly able to surprise me with new excavations and new theories. 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). But Pompei offers more than this. Pompeii is the life of the people brutally interrupted, their jobs, their food, their personal stories, their fears, their ambitions. We will look at their daily life in the most universal context: the houses. Come and join me for an unforgettable tour in ancient Pompeii!
Barbara gave us a great overview of Pompei. We honestly were not sure we were going to see it on the trip but were able to fit it in. I am glad we did. The site is incredible.
From start to finish, the tour was exceptional! Barbara sent a driver to pick us up by private car and take us to the entrance of Pompeii. She took us to see the highlights including the best preserved villas, the forum and of course the brothel. Because we were a small private tour Barbara bypassed many of the lines at the busiest attractions. We also entered the museum skipping the lines. Barbara is a local and her knowledge is extensive. She gave us a wonderful tour in a fraction of the time had we tried to do it ourselves. Well worth the money! Grazie Barbara!
Barbara provided insight into Pompeii that brought the ancient site to life for me. She was very knowledgeable and helped me navigate the large site!
