Hi! I’m Ida, a licensed tour guide and archaeologist based in Pompeii.
I’ve been guiding here for over 20 years, but my approach is a bit different from the usual historical tour. I don’t just explain ruins, I tell the hidden stories behind them.
My background is in Classical Literature and Archaeology, and I’ve spent years studying ancient religions, symbols, and daily life in the Roman world. Pompeii, to me, is not just a city frozen in time , it’s a place where people lived surrounded by beliefs, rituals, and unseen meanings.
During my tours, I like to create an experience that is engaging, human, and a little unexpected. You won’t just hear dates and facts, you’ll discover what life really felt like, what people feared, what they believed in, and what still echoes today.
If you’re curious, open-minded, and looking for something different from the standard tour… you’re in the right place.
