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

Step off the beaten path and explore two extraordinary Roman villas without the crowds. With private transport, pre-arranged tickets and tailored guidance, this is a relaxing and enriching day designed for curious travelers. We visit the Villa of Poppea at Oplontis and Villa San Marco at Stabia—elegant seaside retreats where wealthy Romans enjoyed leisure far from the bustle of ancient Rome. Their mosaics, frescoes and vast gardens reveal how refined life could be two thousand years ago. We will also explore the new Archaeological Museum of Stabia featuring remarkable finds from both sites. Afterwards, we drive to the National Park of Mt. Vesuvius to enjoy a warm family welcome, a delicious light lunch and a wine tasting among the vineyards. The perfect way to unwind after a fascinating morning! This is a private, comfortable and flexible experience at your own pace—ideal for families and couples seeking history, scenery, and authentic local flavor.

This tour by Fabrizio was without a doubt the best tour in all Italy--he knew his material and just as important he knew how to impart it to someone else. He was entertaining and cared for each member on our family. He also did not stop with just passing on historical facts etc. but looked after us having a great meal near the site. He took time to answer any questions and made sure that our every need was addressed. A real guide----Garry

Three friends and I participated in a ToursByLocals last September. This day was the highlight of our trip through Italy. Fabrizio was extremely knowledgeable about the city's history and explained all questions that we asked. One of us had some physical limitations. He went out of his way to find a less challenging walk to get from place to place. Fabrizio's sense of humor and knowledge made the day fun. History came alive for us.I would highly recommend this tour with ToursByLocals.
