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 Rome tour

Experience Pompeii in style on this private, luxury Pompeii tour from Rome. Begin at Rome Termini, where you’ll board a high-speed train to Naples. Upon arrival at Napoli Centrale, your expert archaeologist guide will meet you directly on the platform and escort you to a Mercedes V-Class (max 7 seats) for a seamless, VIP transfer to the ruins. Enjoy a three-hour, archaeologist-led walking tour of Pompeii with skip-the-line access, exploring villas, baths, theaters, shops, and streets brought back to life through engaging stories and expert insight. Afterward, return to Naples for lunch, shopping, or sightseeing before boarding your high-speed train back to Rome. This exclusive experience is private, flexible, and tailor-made — combining comfort, culture, and premium service for an unforgettable day.

Your Rome tour itinerary

Traveling by high-speed train from Rome saves you precious time: the journey to Naples takes about one hour and ten minutes, and from Naples to Pompeii it’s only about 25 minutes by private car — a total of roughly 1.5 hours door-to-door. By comparison, driving all the way from Rome to Pompeii can easily take more than three hours each way, which means spending much less time exploring and much more time stuck on the highway. With the train + private car combination, you spend your day experiencing Pompeii, not traffic. Possible Route: • 07:35 – 08:55: High-speed train Rome → Naples (tickets arranged) • Meeting Fabrizio at Napoli Centrale platform • 09:10 – 09:40: Private transfer to Pompeii in Mercedes V-Class • 09:45 – 12:45: 3-hour archaeologist-led walking tour of Pompeii (skip-the-line entry) • 12:45 – 13:45: Optional lunch in the Pompeii area or back in Naples • 13:45 – 14:15: Drive back to Naples • Afternoon: High-speed train Naples → Rome (time flexible to your preference)
