5.00We had a fantastic tour of Pompeii with Fabrizio. He wanted to make sure that we had a great tour and gave us a couple of different options to tour Pompeii. He picked us up from our hotel in Sorrento in an air conditioned and very clean Mercedes van. We got to skip the long line out front. He is extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii and Italian history. We all learned a lot today. He suggested a very good place to have a quick lunch that had delicious pizza. He drove us back to Sorrento and everything was on time. You will not be sorry that you booked with Fabrizio.
Wow.. what a FANTASTIC day with Fabrizio in Pompei!

5.00WOW... Fabrizio is the best! We had an absolutely fantastic experience in Pompeii. From the moment we met, it was clear we were in great hands. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and layout of the ancient city, but also warm, personable, and truly fun to be around. Fabrizio struck the great balance between informative and engaging, keeping a great pace while skillfully navigating around the crowds to maximize our time. He didn’t just point out the key landmarks; he connected them with historical context and fascinating insights, helping us truly understand how the city once functioned and what daily life was like. It’s clear he has a deep passion for his work, and that enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. To top it off, he arranged a beautiful wine tasting & lunch on Mt. Vesuvius. The setting was stunning, the food delicious, and the wine even better. It was a perfect complement to Pompeii, & a great recommendation on his part. We have a shipment of wine and olive oil on its way home! We left feeling like we had truly experienced something special. Fabrizio made our visit unforgettable, we'll be back. Thank you, Fabrizio, for an incredible day!

The Most Memorable and Enjoyable Private Tour Experience of Pompeii & Naples

5.00I wanted to thank Vincenzo Coppola with Leisure Italy for organizing our customized and private one-day tour of Pompeii and Naples for my family of four (2 adults and 2 children, ages 11 and 13). Vincenzo was so helpful, offering exactly the option we wanted for our limited time, guiding us on which high speed train to take from Rome and answering my many questions in the most cheerful way. Our tour guide Natalia and driver Pasquale met us at the Naples central train station and could not have been any more friendly, helpful and welcoming. Natalia was probably the most informative tour guide we had in Italy. She was an encyclopedia of knowledge! we spent almost 3 hours in Pompeii and felt so fortunate we had a private guide. We enjoyed our time with her and learned a lot. Then we went to Naples and enjoyed lunch with Natalia at a restaurant featuring authentic Napoletana pizza (our request, which Vincenzo organized). Next up was a driving tour of Naples and a walking tour of the historic district. Pasquale kept us safe and cool in the car! We saw parts of Naples we would not necessarily have seen on our own, and again, Natalia was a fount of information. She was great about tailoring her information for our kids. Vincenzo organizing the trip made our experience educational, efficient, enjoyable and truly memorable!

5.00Fabrizio gave our family of 2 adults and tween/teen a wonderful tour of Pompeii. My husband said wow, he must have given this tour a million times, but you can hear in his voice that he loves it. We really had a great morning. If we come back, would love to do Amalfi coast tour with him. Fabrizio as a guide is a must have for Pompeii!
Amazing tour of Pompeii!

5.00Our private tour of Pompeii with Fabio was fantastic! He was an incredible guide. As an archaeologist he shared tons of information about the history and culture of Pompeii, and we were able to get a true feeling for the life of the people in that city before its tragic ending.

5.00Our tour guide was the best. I would give him 10 stars if I could. I think his name was Fabio, sorry if I did not get that right. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We were traveling with our two grandchildren 10 and 12, and he explained very thing clearly so they could understand.
Exceptional tour of Pompeii

5.00Excellent tour. Fabrizio was highly knowledgeable and engaging and tailored the tour to avoid the early morning crowds which was great because it made the tour feel even more private in the exceedingly crowded Pompeii. The duration was perfect for our 8 year old.
