Hi there! Nice to meet you

I fell in love with Naples seven years ago. This city at fist caught my attention for its incredible history, then later it seduced me with its amazing panoramas and finally, it stole my heart, or better to say my stomach with its super tasty traditional foods. So, I left my previous life in Lithuania, my job, career, everything, and I've emerged in the adventure called "Naples".

Now I know with my eyes closed not only the most hidden angles of Naples, but also Vesuvius, Pompei, Sorrento and Amalfi coasts. I am proud to present the city of my heart and to help others to discover the real Naples.

We truly enjoyed our time with guide Vitalija. She helped us get around with ease and navigate some of the crowds. Vitalija was well studied and easily able to explain the various sites and give us interesting historical information that intrigued our interests. Thank you for such a good time. Wonderful Tour

Vitalija was a really fantastic guide. We were running late due to issues picking up our hire car & Vitalija was very accommodating. She swept us past the queue and gave us a really fun and engaging tour of Pompeii. Vitalija’s insights and insider knowledge were fascinating & she also managed to bypass the very long tour group queues for some of the major attractions such as the brothel.. A huge thank you Vitalija, we could never have experienced Pompeii the way we did without you! Fantastic guide to pompeii

Vitalija was an amazing guide for our trip to Pompeii. She was extremely knowledgeable and a great storyteller. She not only showed us all of the important sites at Pompeii, but also got us away from the crowds to show us some interesting places we would not have found on our own. Seeing the large groups listening to their guide on an earpiece and struggling to gather close enough to see made us realize we made the right choice booking a private tour. I highly recommend Vitalija for your Pompeii tour, she made our once in a lifetime trip that much more unforgettable! Once in a lifetime experience!

What a great time with Vittaglia. On a recent Rome visit, we decided we wanted to venture outside of Rome to see Capri and Pompeii. We knew it was a lot to pack into a single day trip. When we contacted Vittaglia she was up for the challenge. She helped us plan our journey from Rome via bullet train to Naples. She catered to our limited time and made the most of every moment. Unfortunately, we missed our early morning train and Vittaglia quickly pivoted to accommodate our later arrival. When we arrived she was waiting for us in the train station and quickly ushered us to a taxi she had waiting. We were off to catch a ferry to Capri. She thoughtfully purchased our tickets ahead of time which allowed us the opportunity to catch our breath from a hurried morning. After an hour long ferry ride, we arrived in beautiful Capri. Vittaglia recommended and arranged for a boat ride around the island. So beautiful! She even got us the perfect seats on the boat for picture taking – and she knew exactly where we should sit to see and capture this magnificent place. After the boat ride we took a bus to the top of the island and spent the mid-day walking, lunching and site seeing. Vittaglia is so knowledgeable; she told us stories of how the island was formed and the Emperors who took refuge on the island. Around every bend was a more beautiful vista. Vittaglia recommended a quick place for lunch and allowed us some time to rest. Then back to the ferry and on to Pompeii. When we arrived on the dock from the ferry Vittaglia had arranged a hired car. It was comfortable, cool and clean. Pompeii was amazing! As Vittaglia toured us, she told us stories of Pompeiian life and the demise of the city. She was very thorough and knowledgeable about the excavation of the city and what life was like before it was ultimately destroyed. Vittaglia painted a colorful picture of the past and kept us entertained and engaged through our entire visit. We found Vittaglia to be very thorough and knowledgeable. She was quick to respond to inquiries as we planned our trip. I do not think we could have seen as much on such a short visit without Vittaglia’s expertise. She was also funny, charming and kind. We would totally recommend Vittaglia as your guide when you are next visiting Naples and the surrounding areas (Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Pompeii, etc). Thank you for making my birthday so amazing and memorable!Best Birthday Ever!

We loved our tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum with Vitalija. We were traveling as a family of six with a toddler in a stroller, which we knew would be a little tricky to manage, so we were hoping a small private tour would give us greater flexibility. Vitalija was absolutely fantastic as our guide. She adjusted the tour to our interests and needs, including whatever would be most helpful for the little one. Her English skills are superb, and she is very knowledgeable about the subject matter. I don't recall any question she couldn't answer. Talking to her was like talking to a friend. She helped us navigate the unfamiliar metro system around Naples and gave good suggestions for places to eat after our tour. Pompeii is super crowded, with large tour groups trying to follow their guides, and it was clear that we were at an advantage by having our own personal tour guide to navigate the sites. I would recommend withlocals.com and particularly Vitalija, for a great tour experience. Once-in-a-lifetime experience!

My parents and I had an amazing afternoon with Vitalija at Pompeii, in which she took us on a real journey through the site! I have actually been to Pompeii, with a guide, before, and still managed to learn more and more from Vitalija. For my parents first time here, they found the whole experience magical!Insightful, inquisitive, imaginative

We had a great tour (4 adults and 1 20 yr old). She was very knowledgeable, spoke good English, and is a very good storyteller. She made the day very interesting. Pompeii is a tremendous site to see as it's so huge but Herculaneum is also amazing because multiple stories of houses are preserved. Excellent Pompeii & Herculaneum tour

We met Vitalija at designated time and place. For the next 2 1/2 hours we explored the various sections of Naples. She was knowledgeable and provided so many insights into the history of Naples that most guides would overlook. She was smart, courteous and with a good sense of humor. Great Insight Into Naples
