Hi to everyone, I'm Paolo. I'm an archaelogist and I have been working as tourist guide (license n° 1792 of the Campania Region) for several years . I was born in in the middle of the bay of Naples, by the mount Vesuvius. I have always loved history and archaeology, also because, where I live, there are the incredible excavations of Herculaneum. Since I was a child, I loved entering in Herculaneum and in Pompeii where I was amazed by the classical civilization. So I turned my passion into my work, being a licensed tourist guide. I graduated at the "L'Orientale" University in Naples obtaining a master's degree in Classical Archaeology and during my training I participated in several excavation campaigns in Pompeii and Cuma. I know very well even the city of Naples, where its historical center is Unesco Heritage, the bay of Pozzuoli and the Amalfi Coast: Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. It's a unique place in the world where you can breathe a magical air. It's also famous for its food, just think that the pizza Margherita was born here. I love my land rich of history and culture. I will be happy to guide you in a place full of charm and ancient mistery. Welcome to the real Italy.

Ancient Pompeii

This amazing tour of ancient Pompeii will be an extraordinary experience. The city was covered under ashes and pumice stones during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 and it was abandoned soon after. In 1748 the king of Naples, Charles III of Bourbon, decided to bring it back to life. Ancient Pompeii is a jewel that we will disclose slowly starting from the Porta Marina Gate

The ancient city of Pompeii is probably the most important archaeological site in the world. A tour here led by an archeologist, even better! In the past, it was an agricultural and commercial center where about 20000 people lived. The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD covered it under about 8 meters of pumice, lapilli and ash. The tour lasts about 3 hours and will be a journey through history where you will see houses, theaters, baths, shops, brothels, casts of the victims.

“Two hours crash course of Pompeii”

Vincenzo was awesome. I had a restricted time, he accommodated me. Gave me a complete understanding of the history and geography of the city in every way. And took me through parts of the Pompeii that was less crowded with tourists to show me most recently discovered artifacts . Highly recommend him.
