About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- shaunbD6405BU0 contributionsFantastic day exploring Pompeii and topped off with a great wine tasting experienceIncredible tour with Fabrizio. Fabrizio is clearly extremely passionate and knowledgeable about archeology and the Pompeii area. He was extremely friendly and happy to answer all of the questions that we had. He tailored the pace of the tour for our group and he we had such a fantastic time on his tour. Would not hesitate to recommend to anybody and confident that you would not be disappointed with the experience. Thanks for a fantastic day!Written 7 December 2024
- skyblues10 contributionsA must do tour!We had such an amazing day with Fabrizio. He is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made our trip to Pompei even better than we could have imagined. The wine experience was also brilliant with amazing food too! Overall, one of the best tours I have done and would recommend to anyone!Written 7 December 2024
- dylanlI6961KX0 contributionsFun and knowledgeableVery knowledgeable and fun guide! Learned a lot and saw great views. The wine tasting experience was fantastic, and the Pompeii tour was perfect for us.Written 25 November 2024
- MegP1360 contributionsA wonderful day in Pompeii and HerculaneumWe spent a wonderful day in Pompeii and Herculaneum with a stop for lunch at Cantina del Vesuvio. Fabrizio was extremely knowledgeable and made sure that we had an enjoyable experience. We were initially supposed to go to Pompeii first, but he suggested we switch the order of our tours which turned out to be the best thing, as we practically had Herculaneum to ourselves. Lunch at the winery with wine tasting was delicious. Pompeii in the afternoon was a bit crowded, but we were able to tailor what we wanted to see. They were currently doing an excavation which we were able to observe which was extremely interesting -- from people using shovels and wheelbarrows to remove the pumice, to others using delicate brushes to remove dust. The frescos were amazing. I would highly recommend this tour and Fabrizio.

He knew exactly how to avoid the crowds and maximize our time. His depth of knowledge was vast, and he was completely committed to making our time in Pompeii the best it could be.

- katarinabB8397NA0 contributionsBest sights of Pompei and fantastic wine with Fabrizio!I’ve been to Pompei before, but this time I got so much more out of the experience than the first. Not only the learning, but Fabrizio took us on a well guided tour curated for the most fascinating sights in pompei while keeping it concise and timely to avoid complete heat exhaustion. The winery was beautiful and the views were great. The wine is some of the best I’ve had. Overall, Fabrizio was great and a very kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and understanding individual. Definitely recommend.Written 8 August 2024
- javierbX8064LL0 contributionsAmazing Pompeii & Mt. Vesuvius Wine TourAn amazing tour! Fabrizio was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the tour and very sociable with the whole party.Written 8 August 2024
- fosterw8530 contributionsBest experience in Italy!This is an absolute must do. My family and I did a tour through Pompeii and it was unbelievable. Fabrizio knew exactly where to go and when to go there. It felt like we were the only ones in Pompeii and we were able to see the ruins before any crowds showed up. My family of five was asking questions the entire time and Fabrizio had an exact answer for everything we could think of. Best of all, he was able to customize the tour and sights so that we spent our energy going to exactly what we wanted to see most. I’ve done several tours in many countries and this is the one that will stick with me the most. We were truly immersed in the history and culture of Ancient Rome. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Italy. Five stars is not enough.Written 7 August 2024
- 243krisj0 contributionsFamily tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum with lunch at a winery.The tour picked us up at our VRBO location and the van ride to and from our tour destinations was comfortable. Our guide, Fabrizio, was very informative. His English was excellent. He was detailed in his answers to our question. He gave history lesson of Pompeii and Herculaneum as we drove from Sorrento which helped prepare us for the tours I wouldn’t suggest doing this tour on really hot days, not much shade or places to sit. Fabrizio did check on us regularly and gaged the pace of the tour on our mobility and interest. He asked frequently if we were feeling okay or need to rest. The winery stop was nice, but the “tour” seemed more about getting you to buy their products. Lunch at the winery was acceptable but not memorable. This was a very enjoyable tour and would suggest it to others. We wished we could have had Fabrizio for all our tours in Italy.Written 17 July 2024

Can't say enough about our tour with Fabrizio. He made our tour so interesting with stories of the past and detailed facts about the area and ruins, when they were discovered and where the recovered relics are now located. Fabrizio is passionate about his work and clearly loves doing what he does. Highly recommend his expertise for anyone visiting Italy.

What an incredible experience! Fabrizio was a very knowledgeable guide of the area and was very flexible with our plans ahead of time as well as making adjustments and required pit stops during the tour.
He was also incredibly funny which we really appreciated. My parents are Spanish speaking only and he was very fluent in both Spanish/English and accommodated properly for the tour. His tour bus had the perfect temperature control (it was blazing hot during our visit in August) which kept us cool throughout the day.
A highlight of the tour was his guidance at Pompeii, he knew so much of the history and made the experience a good one as he knew what areas to start and end at to avoid the summer crowds. This is an overdue review by a couple of months but wowwww I can't recommend him enough!

I cannot imagine doing this day with anyone else! From start to finish Fabrizio was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of historical facts about Pompeii was impressive and sparked interest in all of us. Then the drive along the Amalfi coast was perfect! He was flexible and willing to offer ideas for lunch but allowed us to decide what we wanted to see! My daughters only wanted to get out in Positano so he made it happen.
If you think you can rent a vehicle and drive the coast yourself, you are crazy! Get Fabrizio!

Fabrizio was amazing! He was very personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. His vehicle was large enough for our big family. He made additional stops upon request and gave great recommendations. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Our long time travel agent referred us, a party of 4, to Fabrizio. He connected with me initially through WhatsApp on where and when to meet. Pickup time and location was on-time and accurate. His luxury van was immaculate, equipped with water and phone chargers, plenty of seating space and cold air conditioning. Fabrizio, speaks fluent English, was extremely knowledgable, fun, light-spirited, took as many photos asked and presented us with amazing choices on our journey through Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. He was kind, patient and drove the winding cliffs with care and ease. What an amazing experience we had! Thank you Fabrizio for your care and attention to every detail. We hope to meet you again!!

This was an easy unforgettable trip! We traveled in a beautiful Mercedes van with cold AC, comfortable seats and lots of room. We traveled to Amalfi coast and had plenty of time for shopping and a beverage in both Positano and Sorerento! He gave us bathroom breaks and a great tour with stopping point for pictures! He was very knowledgeable and a patient driver! Fabrizio was so well informed about Pompeii and all the highlights were hit! I cannot recommend Fabrizio enough and how easy it was to be picked up right off the cruise ship! Do it! You won’t regret it!

We had a wonderful day with Fabrizio! He knows a lot about the history and even what is still being discovered in Pompeii. He never made us feel, rushed and allowed us to choose how our day was spent. The ride along the coast was beautiful and he pulled over often for us to take pictures. Fabrizio will have our business again.

Spend a few hours in Pompeii, and a few hours in Ravello and then on the Amalfi coast. Fabrizio is polite, courteous, professional, and very knowledgeable, not only about archaeology but also about Italy from antiquity to the modern times. Learned so much by speaking with him. He customized the trip as per our requests and and took us places and restaurants that we absolutely loved!!
