        Amazing Experience!
        Fabrizio was an amazing tour guide - I highly recommend him. He has a depth and breadth of knowledge that made the experience amazing. He was extremely accommodating to what we wanted to see and tailored the tour so that we could choose to do what was most important to us. If you are undecided about which tour to take for Pompeii and Ercolano, definitely do this one!!

        A wonderful day in Pompeii and Herculaneum
        We 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.

        Highlight of our Vacation
        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!

        Exciting, historical and Panoramic cliffside views
        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!!

        Family 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.

        Practically Perfect in Every Way!
        Fabrizio was amazing! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. He met us at the hotel perfectly on time and we discussed what we wanted to see that day. We were able to do it all and learn a lot! I also highly recommend the lunch option at Cantina del Vesuvio. Delicious!

        Extraordinary tour! All ages appropriate and superior knowledge!
        A superior tour for our family (children 9 & 13 years)! Fabrizio showcased extraordinary depth of knowledge and engaging communication. As the day progressed, Fabrizio adapted the tour to our interests and to avoid crowds around sites similar to what we’d seen earlier, making for as private an experience as you could imagine at such bustling sites. He skillfully managed our children’s attention & energy with an intuitive understanding of when to engage them and when to let them explore. If Fabrizio was free tomorrow we’d do it all over again, and we look forward to returning to Napoli and touring within again. In the meantime, we highly recommend Fabrizio to all!

      I enjoyed working with Fabrizio to schedule our trip to Pompeii. He was incredibly timely in reaching out to confirm our tour date. He even suggested an earlier departure to avoid the crowds and heat, influencing how we organized our day trip.

      His kindness and attention to detail didn't stop there. He helped us organize a delightful lunch and even arranged a fantastic wine tour following our visit to Pompeii. This added a wonderful personal touch to our day.

      I highly recommend Fabrizio for anyone looking to explore Pompeii with a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide.

      My family had such an amazing experience with Fabrizio on this tour. Pompeii is a huge site with so many things to see, but Fabrizio made sure that we saw all of the most important things, while providing so much information about the artifacts, structures, and stories. Following Pompeii, Fabrizio drove us to Cantina Del Vesuvio on the side of the volcano - a lovely vinyard where we had samples of wines and a fantastic lunch. Although we had some clouds, the views were beautiful and the hosts of the vinyard were such nice folks.
      Honestly, this was the best tour my family has ever done. Fabrizio made everything effortless and enjoyable, from helping us pre-book tickets, to picking us up with his van in Naples (and dropping us off at museum afterwards). Also, having an archeologist on the tour of Pompeii (we also visited Herculaneum with him) made it unforgettable. HIGHLY recommended!! Thank you for great memories, Fabrizio!!

      We were fortunate to tour Pompeii with a wonderful and knowledgeable private guide. Fabrizio Belleni made this unique experience even more enjoyable than we could have imagined. There is so much to see and so much information to absorb and Fabrizio organized our time in the most organized and efficient way. All while making sure we were having a great time. I was aware of the many large tours all around us. Those guides need to stop, talk, move on while people hurry to catch up. With Fabrizio we could ask questions, if something caught our attention, we were able to stop. For most of us, Pompeii is a once of a lifetime visit, I suggest you make the most of it by having Fabrizio be your guide.

      Excellent informative yet entertaining tour of Pompeii for both adults and children. We went with two daughters, 9 and 12 and Fabrizio was able to keep their attention for the duration of the tour despite the heat and crowds. Definitely highly recommend.

      Incredible 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!

      Fabrianzo “Breezy” made our tour an experience to remember! I never knew Pompeii was so vast and that archeologists knew so much about the ancient city. Breezy was knowledgeable without being boring. He took care to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see, and more! He also knew the area, places to eat, and answered our many questions. I would definitely recommend him for your next tour!

      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.

      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.

      We had been to Pompeii twice before, but neither of those times docould possibly compare to the experience that Fabrizio provided! 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. Lunch and wine tasting was delightful as well! You will not have a better experience than with Fabrizio! We cannot thank him enough for a wonderful day!
