Ciao! I’m Fabrizio – your local guide and driver for Pompeii, Naples, and the Amalfi Coast. Born and raised in Naples, living now in Vico Equense on the Sorrento Coast, I’m passionate about sharing the Beauty, History, Food&Wines and Culture of my region with travelers from all over the world. I’ve been leading tours since 2010: I was the very first ToursByLocals guide in the area, and I’ve loved every moment of this journey! With a Master’s degree in Art History and a Bachelor’s in Archaeology, I bring deep knowledge and enthusiasm to every tour. I studied in Canada, France, and Italy, so I speak fluent English and French, have a good understanding of Spanish and Portuguese, and—just for fun—I’m currently learning Chinese! As a professional guide for over 32 years, I believe every traveler has his own reasons for exploring. My goal is to truly understand what YOU are looking for and tailor the experience to match YOUR interests. Whether it’s a deep dive into ancient ruins, a scenic coastal drive, or a food and wine adventure, I’ll make sure your tour feels personal, relaxed, and memorable. I love sharing Italy’s landscapes, archaeology, and flavors—especially with guests from North America and the UK who appreciate both professionalism and warmth. By the end of the day, I hope you’ll see me not just as your guide, but as a friend. My comfortable 2019 Mercedes V-Class Minivan seats up to seven passengers, perfect for family or small-group tours. You can also join me for classic walking tours or train, or boat excursions. Explore Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Herculaneum, Naples, and beyond – your perfect Italian journey starts here! I graduated in Art History at the University of Naples, and I was a student in Ontario, Canada, and in Poitiers, France. I was the first guide ever with ToursByLocals in the area of Naples, starting on 2010. 2021 Archaeology undergraduate, University of Naples Federico II 2013 Professional Commercial Driving License up to 8 passengers 2004 Professional license as a Tour Guide, Campania Region, Italy 2003 Master's Degree in Promotion of Historical Sites, University of Naples, Italy 2002 Graduate in Art History, University of Naples Federico II 2001 Erasmus Exchange Student, University of Poitiers, France 1998 Professional Tour Leader, Provincia di Latina, Italy 1994 AFS Exchange Student, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Others: - Training Course About the Middle Ages, CESCM Poitiers, France - Training corse in Litterature, Aesthetic and Myth, Istituto Italiano Studi Filosofici, Napoli, Italy - Training course for Environmental Education, Oasi Naturalistica del Monte Nuovo, Pozzuoli, Italy

Overview of your Naples tour

Follow me on a private tour at your own pace to discover the extraordinary archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum — two ancient Roman towns frozen in time beneath the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. I will pick you up in a comfortable van and guide you through both archaeological parks, avoiding the busiest routes and tailoring the itinerary to your interests. Together we will retrace the dramatic final hours of the cities and imagine daily life nearly two millennia ago. I am a licensed local guide and archaeologist, leading tours in the area since 1995, and I am still amazed by the sophistication of Roman engineering, art, and culture — there is always more than visitors expect. Around midday, we may continue into the National Park of Mount Vesuvius for an optional visit to a scenic organic vineyard, where you can enjoy a guided wine tasting and a delicious lunch overlooking the volcano. Immerse yourself in one of the world’s most extraordinary historical landscapes.

Your Naples tour itinerary

The itinerary is flexible and tailored to your interests. Depending on the season and visitor flow, it is often ideal to begin in Herculaneum — usually quieter — and visit Pompeii in the afternoon. We will decide together on the day for the most enjoyable experience, always aiming to avoid crowds. The walking tour adapts to your pace and preferences, and in both sites we will explore the main highlights as well as lesser-known areas that many visitors overlook. Between the two archaeological parks we may take a break; a quick stop is always possible, but I recommend a scenic organic wine estate inside the National Park of Mount Vesuvius, where you can enjoy a short vineyard tour and a light lunch. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. Whatever you choose, the schedule remains fully customizable to ensure a comfortable and memorable day.
