I speak fluently English, French, Japanese and Spanish, I also speak German at an intermediate level. I am interested in supplying tours in my area, the Campania region. I offer guided tours of Pompeii and Herculaneum and many other achaeological areas, as well as city tours in the town of Naples, Caserta, Salerno, Benevento and Avellino. I also offer tours to museums, churches, galleries, castles, royal palaces and to natural spots like Capri island, Ischia island or Procida island and the Amalfi coast.

Ancient Herculaneum Private Tour
Visiting ancient Herculaneum, in the bay of Naples, is an experience that will last for a long time. There are no other ancient cities which can compare to Herculaneum for its amazing state of preservation after the city was covered under a pyroclastic flow during the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in AD79. Herculaneum is famous for the well preserved frescoes, mosaics, wooden partitions, furniture and many other petrified organic materials which are so important to understand its life.
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
Amalfi coast tour
The Amalfi Coast is known as the Divine coast for its beautiful landscapes. A series of small villages perched above the high cliffs, terraces covered with lemon trees, little caves and a varied vegetation make this coast gorgeous.
Naples ancient city center
The ancient town of Naples, a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1995, is considered to be the largest city center in Europe. We will be thrilled to see how in such an ancient city there are so many interesting things to see and to experience.
Capri island tour
Capri is a very beautiful and a well known island of the Gulf of Naples. It is visited by thousands of people coming from all over the world to see its beautiful natural spots. According to weather conditions we can visit different areas of the island, its two small cities of Capri and Anacapri and the beautiful grottos and rocks which characterizes the island.

“Maria provided a great tour!”
I was a bit hesitant to hire Maria from the US without knowing anything about her or the company. However, there was no reason for me to worry. Maria was an amazing guide! Communicated well before the date of the tour. She speaks good english (as well as other languages). She also arranged comfortable transportation. It is evident that she cares about providing a great tour. She is flexible to adapt the tour to what makes it best for you. She's imparts her knowledge of the area, and takes you to places you would not do on your own. I can't say enough good things about Maria. Get the most out of your trip and hire Maria, I do not think you will be disappointed.

Dear Mr Charles, thank you so much for your visit and for all the nice things that you said about me. It is very kind of you. It was quite an experience and I am glad I met you and your lovely family. I hope to meet you again for a fantastic tour of our beautiful land. I wish you all the best. Maria
“Connecting Several Generations of a Family ”
Maria was kind, funny, experienced and a very knowledgeable guide! She took a lot of time planning this tour. She researched and found relatives I haven’t seen in over 40 years and translated conversations with my family since I only speak English and they only speak Italian. Maria spent the whole day with us showing me where my parents used to live in Cantaloupo and Castelpetroso. These are very small towns in the mountains. We had one person in our group who had a food allergy and she found an excellent restaurant that was very accommodating! I would highly recommend Maria as a tour guide! Schedule a tour with Maria you won’t be disappointed!

Dear Maureen, I am so glad you appreciated my services. It was really a pleasure for me to help you find your relatives and they were all so nice and kind. I felt as part of the family!!!! I hope to see you back soon! My best regards and a hug. Maria
“Best and kindest guide”
Maria's kindness and efficiency may not let you recall her wonderful discussions of the places we visited. All the while she is patient, smiles, talks to us as friends, and finds ways quickly to solve any bumps in the road. You'll love her just as our group of 14 did!

Dear Mr Mark, It was a pleasure to meet you and I am glad that you appreciated my work. Your group was really enjoyable and you all deserved the best. I am glad to know that you felt comfortable and I hope to see you again for other tours of our beautiful Campania. All my love to all of you.

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.
