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

Step back in time with a private archaeologist to explore the remarkably preserved Roman city of Herculaneum — with tickets included for a seamless experience. Buried by Mount Vesuvius almost 2,000 years ago, Herculaneum offers an intimate and atmospheric look at daily Roman life. We will enter ancient homes, bathhouses, shops, taverns, and the marina where hundreds of skeletons were discovered, all while learning about the dramatic eruption that froze the city in time. Compared to Pompeii, Herculaneum is quieter, smaller, and better preserved, making it ideal for curious travelers who prefer depth over crowds. The visit lasts approximately 2.5 hours at a relaxed pace and is tailored to your interests and comfort. This is a private tour, led by a licensed archaeologist and official guide. If you also need transportation from Naples, Sorrento, or the Amalfi Coast, it can be arranged upon request at an additional cost.

This is the second tour we have taken with Fabrizio, we did Pompeii with him in 2017. As with our previous tour Fabrizio was very knowledgeable and informative. He kept our children interested and even though it was a very hot day remained enthusiastic and showed us the most interesting points of Ercolona. Thanks again Fabrizio and hope to see you again soon. Regards Gary, Tracey, Joe and Olivia

Our tour of Herculaneum with Fabrizio on April 24 was excellent! He was very generous with his time and very knowledgable about many historical facts. Fabrizio was a delight to meet and we will certainly recommend him to others. Thank you, Christopher Bradford
