The Royal Palace of Portici
The Royal Palace of Portici was meant to be the summer residence of the House of the Bourbons. King Charles and his wife Amalia loved to spend the best part of the year in the little village of Portici, not far from Naples, between the sea and Mount Vesuvius. The tour starts from the beautiful staircase and the rooms of the first floor to continue with the visit of the multimedia Herculanense Museum.

“Roberta is an amazing tour guide!”
I booked two tours with Roberta and I am so glad I did because she is one of the most amazing tour guides out there!! The two tours were definitely the highlights of our vacation and we could not have learned everything we did without her. Not only is she very knowledgeable about Italian history but she also went above and beyond connecting with people from the two small towns outside of Naples, where my family was originally from, as these are not her normal tour areas. She spent time researching and even contacted people who knew my family members years ago giving the tours such a personal touch. I am beyond grateful Roberta had the time to take our family around and share Italy's history with us. You can tell she has an incredible passion for what she does and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a tour guide to choose Roberta! Thank you!!!

Herculaneum private walking tour
Two thousand years ago, Herculaneum was the best choice for a nobleman looking for a peaceful and enchanting place to enjoy a holiday at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. With its sumptuous villas that overlooked the sea, terraces and gardens with colorful flowers where one could read a book and seek solace from the busy winter, it boasted an elegant theatre for live performance, a big gymnasium surrounded by marble columns, magnificent bath houses and bronze statues. Herculaneum was a delight.

Naples historic center walking tour
The historic center of Naples is one of the oldest in Europe and is Unesco World Heritage. Very few cities have had the continuity of history Naples has during the century the ancient city survived both in its street pattern and its geography of prestige. The city grown vertically and this created a unicum, a stratigrafic city with remains of 2000 history mixed in amazing architectures. But there is more: compared to other cities Naples is still an authentic place full of life and soul.
