Life is the art of meeting up,
Welcome!
What does “artéteca” mean? It is a word from Neapolitan dialect indicating those endless, merry, lively movements, especially typical of children, and it is a little bit like my tours, always tailored, designed on my customers’ requests and exigencies.
If you split the word, the result is “arte” (art) and “teca” (display case)and I think a guided tour is a little like that: a box with history, art, monuments or a frame the painting of which is painted by you and me!
i fatti (some facts and their places)
Naples is an unmissable destination in any traveler’s “career”: a mix of contradictions, faces, voices, flavours still connected to its identity, although tourism is now officially a new and powerful business.
A town with a natural, spontaneous skill: to create contact, proximity, a place where it is impossibile to feel alone!

My name is Teresa
My name is Teresa, I am Neapolitan and I work as a licensed tourist guide since 2004.
My origins and my job are by sure two objective data, but two very identifying elements of myself as well.
As a tourist guide, I am used to think that a journey is made not only by the traveler: during my tours I am a traveler too, continuosly, in my own culture melting with that of my customers: I do love that always coming moment when, with them, I share points of view and thoughts about similarities and differences.
As a traveler, my effort is always looking for the authenticity of places, avoiding stereotypes created by tourism business: my goal is to offer the same kind of experience to those who choose to discover my town and my Region, Campania, rich and unmissable of many other famous destinations such as Ancient Pompeii.
History, monuments, but the soul of these places as well, through the eyes of somebody here born, bred and still living as me!

Naples' thousand colors
For centuries the capital town of one of the largest and richest kingdoms in Europe, Naples is a town of contrasts perfectly blending…
Ancient Pompeii fascination
Many calamities have befallen the world but no other has given so much pleasure to later generations.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Surprising Herculaneum
At a short distance from Pompeii, another town sharing the same destiny: to be frozen in time and giving us, since already some centuries, a spectacular sight of beauty and preservation.
