Hello, and thank you very much for visiting my web profile! My name's Felicia and I'm a restorer, an art historian and a tour guide, specifically for families with children. I have worked for many years in restoration laboratories in Naples, Sorrento, Cava de' Tirreni, Pompeii and Oplontis. My area of expertise is the restoration of the pictorial film into frescoes, paintings on canvas, wood and statues. In 2014 I obtained the license to work as a tour guide of the Campania Region delivering tours in both Italian and English. At present, I have the fortune to be also involved in the tourist industry, organizing and designing itineraries and expecially guided tours. I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with people from different ranges of cultural, professional and academic backgrounds. The tours that meet me the most are those with families with children and adolescents: I can now claim to be an expert in this type of services! Licensed tour guide of the Campania Region (2015) Master's degree in History of Art at the University "Suor Orsola Benincasa" of Naples - final dissertation about the History of Restoration, with particular reference to the defense system of the Sorrento Coast from Roman times to the Unification of Italy (2007) Post-graduate degree master of Tourism Management at the University "Suor Orsola Benincasa" of Naples (2021) Qualification in Restoration of Paintings on Canvas and Tableaux at the Institute "M. Visconti" of Naples (2000) Training courses on Excavation's Principles and Methods, Restoration Diagnosis, and the Conservation of Ceramics at Faenza's "M.I.C. Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche" (2000-2001) I attended a seminar on Contemporary Art, Management and Settings at the Ara Pacis in Rome (2009) According to my country regulation, my guidance is allowed inside museums, archaeological areas, cities and more. Since I'm not a driver, for tours with private transportation my associated professional driver will be at your disposal.

Overview of your Pompei tour
Pompeii is one of the most important tourist destinations in Italy. Anyone who is passionate about history and archeology cannot miss this visit. My tours are full of love and passion for this very special city, full of information and details about the life of the inhabitants of 2000 years ago. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD and thanks to this layer of ash, everything was incredibly well-preserved so that visitors today can walk around an intact Roman town, enter houses, temples, amphitheaters and even a brothel, and truly feel what it was like to live in Roman times. THIS TOUR CAN BE CUSTOMIZED ON YOUR NEEDS AND REQUEST

I chose to use Felicia based on her many 5 star ratings and she did not disappoint! She has lived in Pompeii all her life and has worked as an archaeologist and restorer there. We saw so much in just 2 hours and Felicia answered all of our questions. Great tour!

This may just be the best tour I have been on using Tours By Locals, and they have all been really good. A local tour guide with a deep understanding of the history of Pompeii and it’s restoration is really necessary to get the most out of a visit to this fantastic location, and I am quite certain that Felicia is the best. She has a passion for Pompeii. She has spent a great deal of time studying it and it shows. I highly recommend this tour with Felicia as your guide.

Outstanding tour! We did a 2hr walking tour with Felicia as our guide and it was so worth it. She’s so knowledge and professional and has understanding of small details that make the experience the best. Thank you for bringing Pompeii to life for us!

The Pompei tour was great. Felicia is very responsive and accommodating! We learned a lot about Pompei.
Kevin C.United States
Felicia was simply amazing! Since she studied and works in the art restoration field, she was extremely knowledgeable about details of everyday Pompeii life, as well as the intricate methods used to restore the frescoes and buildings. She was unbelievably affable and thoroughly engaging. She showed us so much and gave us a wealth of information. She was simply delightful. Doing a private tour with Felicia is the only way to visit Pompeii!! So many people we spoke with hated the group tours.
