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 Sorrento tour

Join me on an off-the-beaten-track day trip to Paestum, home to the best-preserved Greek temples on mainland Italy, combined with a visit to a renowned organic buffalo mozzarella farm. We’ll learn, explore, and enjoy the beautiful countryside of southern Campania together. Our morning starts at the farm, where we’ll meet the buffaloes, see how mozzarella is made, and taste it fresh. Then we’ll head to ancient Paestum to visit the temples, the ancient city, and the Archaeological Museum. As a classical archaeologist, I’ll guide you through the history, art, and the famous “Tomb of the Diver.” For lunch, I recommend returning to the farm for authentic and delicious local food in a peaceful setting. A perfect day for archaeology lovers, food lovers, and families looking to experience the deep South of Italy away from the crowds.

Great tour and tour guide. I think Paestum rivals Pompeii. Fabrizio worked with us to get to the Mozzarella farm and Paestum early to avoid the crowds. He brought the ancient ruins to life and was very engaging. Museum tour was great too.

Highly recommend this tour with Fabrizio as your guide! He explains everything about Paestum, and the differences between the Greek and Roman architecture. He always assures his tour is having a great time! As this was a very warm day, Fabrizio made sure we were all hydrated. Thank you Fabrizio!!

We took two tours with Fabrizio during our stay in Sorrento. He is the most outstanding guide! In our 22 days of travelling in Italy and Greece we had a number of private tours and guides and while all were great, Fabrizio was head and shoulders the best. He is really knowledgeable. And he's helpful and resourceful too! My wife forgot her phone at our hotel and Fabrizio worked with our hotel staff to get a photo of her vaccination card so she wouldn't miss out on a days worth of sites. Ask for him!

We used Fabrizio for 3 different tours and when we go back to Italy we will use him again as our tour guide. That in it self should say how we feel about him. After 3 days of sightseeing we thought of him as a friend not just a guide.

Fabrizio is a fantastic guide -- very engaging and entertaining with fantastic mastery of the history of the area. We had a very enjoyable morning, and would definitely tour with Fabrizio again.
