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

Enjoy a flexible private tour of Herculaneum at your own pace with transport and tickets included. Travel comfortably to the archaeological park and explore with a licensed archaeologist who brings the ancient Roman city to life. Buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago and remarkably well preserved, Herculaneum offers an extraordinary glimpse into daily Roman life. We will visit ancient houses, bath-houses, shops, taverns, and admire vivid frescoes and mosaics. You will also see the famous skeletons that reveal the dramatic final moments of the city. The site is more compact and quieter than Pompeii, making it easier to explore on foot. The two-hour walking tour is tailored to your interests and physical pace. An optional lunch and wine tasting at a scenic vineyard on Mount Vesuvius can be added to complete your experience.
• We begin with private transport to Herculaneum and enter with pre-booked tickets for a smooth and hassle-free start. • From the panoramic terrace above the site, we enjoy a spectacular first view of the ancient city lying 75 feet below modern street level, with Mount Vesuvius in the background — ideal for photos. • Below us is the ancient marina, where more than 300 skeletons were discovered near a Roman boat, revealing the dramatic final moments of the city. • We then explore the main highlights of Herculaneum, including the bath-house, the gymnasium, elegant private homes such as the House of the Stags and the House of the Bicentenary, as well as ancient shops and taverns that illustrate daily Roman life. Special requests are welcome. • We also visit the small but fascinating museum, which displays original artifacts found during the excavations. • To complete the experience, you may add lunch and wine tasting at a scenic vineyard on Mount Vesuvius.
