Hi, I'm Dario, a licensed local guide in Naples with 10 years of experience and a background as tour manager on cruise ships across the Mediterranean. You only get one shot at this trip. I make sure you don't spend it wandering around without understanding what you're looking at, or stuck with a guide who barely speaks your language. Beyond what's required for the license, I've spent years studying the history, art and archaeology of this area on my own, because I don't want to just recite dates, I want to actually understand what we're looking at, and help you understand it too. If you're arriving by cruise, I build the day around your ship's schedule, with private pick-up and drop-off, so you're back on board on time, guaranteed. And you're always in direct contact with me, not an agency. A stranger once stopped me while I was working and asked, "Are you a tour guide?" I said yes. He replied, "Remember that all the travellers will see your land through your eyes." That's still my job: not reciting dates, but making you feel the 3,000 years of history behind Naples, so it becomes the part of the trip you'll talk about for years. About me: degree in Economics, background in luxury hotels, tour operators and cruise lines, which took me across most of the Mediterranean and many European capitals. I lived in the UK for a year and in South America for several years. I speak fluent English and Spanish, both C2 certified. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

The greatness of the Roman empire is still visible today for the most representative monument ever built: The Coliseum. This magnificent building was the beating heart of the Roman empire where the strong gladiators fought to reach the eternal glory of Rome. In this enormous amphitheatre the Romans assisted the greatest shows ever done until that time. You will be there as a spectator of this incredible place as the Romans did 2000 years ago. From Rome you will reach Pompeii which was a rich city of the Roman Empire. It was destroyed by the Vesuvius eruption in 79 A D and for this terrible event Pompeii remained buried for centuries. Generations of archaeologists, restoration teams and workers did an extraordinary job thanks to which nowadays we can see this entire and unique ancient city. There you walk on the original streets, see shops, rich houses and temples with their amazing and sophisticated mosaics, paintings and decorations. This experience will make you feel like you’ve stepped back to Roman times.
