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

Experience Pompeii in the most engaging way — with a private archaeologist guide, tickets included, and a flexible 3-hour itinerary tailored to your pace. We will meet directly at Pompeii and walk the ancient streets just as the Romans did, exploring temples, bathhouses, shops, taverns, private homes, theaters, and — if you wish — the famous brothel. I have been a licensed guide in Pompeii since 1995 and studied Classical Archaeology at the University of Naples, and I will make sure you don’t miss the most important areas and hidden details. We will avoid the busiest routes whenever possible and adapt the visit to your interests. This is a private tour, ideal for couples, families, and curious travelers. If you need transportation from Naples, Sorrento, or the Amalfi Coast, I can arrange it at an additional cost. Just ask! Make the most of your time in Italy with an expert-led journey through history.
Fabrizio was absolutely fantastic! His passion for Pompeii and its incredible history was contagious, and his depth of knowledge was impressive. He brought the ancient city to life with fascinating insights, wonderful storytelling, and such enthusiasm!! He is not only an exceptionally knowledgeable archaeologist and guide but also warm, personable, and a genuine pleasure to spend time with—we couldn't recommend him more highly!
Our tour of Pompeii was amazing, and our guide, Frabrizio, was extremely knowledgeable! From the beginning of planning this trip, he was very easy to contact and helpful in coordinating our plans. The four in our group were in total agreement that Fabrizio made the Pompeii excursion manageable, enjoyable, and informative. We would not change one thing! Thank you for a wonderful trip!
Fabrizio was a fantastic tour guide. He really made this a fantastic experience for our family! His knowledge is strong and his relational ability to engage, inform, and host took this long awaited trip from really good to exceptional. Thanks so much Fabrizio!
We’ve used many tour guides over the years and Fabrizio definitely one of the best, and a favorite.
Fabrizio guided us through the histories of Pompeii in 3 hours. His communication before the tour was spot on, and was very helpful in guiding us there. He identified quickly that we were all enjoy walking, and recommended to take us the whole stretch, showing us the newer digs. He helped us avoid the lines while explaining to us the rich histories of some of the houses. He also took time in the museum with us at the end of a very hot day, showing us important artifacts that illustrated the historical contexts. It was a wonderful learning tour from him, and we hope to enjoy his company again next we are in Napoli.
We had a fabulous time in Ppmpei with Fabrizio. It was a very painless experience using this website to book our tour. Our guide was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable and easy to access at the same time. Thank you!
