Guiseppe from Leisure Italy was fantastic! Walking around with a guide was so helpful and interesting to truly understand the life and details of Pompeii. I thought 2 hours was going to be too long but it flew by. We loved it!

My wife and I had an amazing experience on our private tour of Pompeii with Fabrizio! We initially scheduled it for three hours but extended it to four! Fabrizio's incredible knowledge on the history of Pompeii made the tour so enjoyable. Every place we stopped had a story! Thank you Fabrizio for making this visit one we will remember forever!

Fabrizio was our guide and we now consider him our friend! Communication was great, pickup/drop-off exceptional. Pompeii ruins is a wonder with new excavations unearthing more history. Plan to spend time walking as there are miles to see. Best visiting with a guide. Amazing experience that we enjoyed!

We enjoyed a wonderful day with Giuseppi as our guide for a private, tailored visit to the historical ruins at Pompeii preceded by a luncheon and wine tasting at Cantina del Vesuvio. Throughout our planing process, the whole team at Leisure Italy was extremely helpful, flexible and responsive. On the day of our tour, Giuseppi picked us up at our hotel near Positano in a very clean and comfortable small Mercedes van. He expertly navigated the narrow and winding roads of the Amalfi coast while sharing information and historical context on the sights along the route. At Pompeii, Giuseppi's passion for archaeology brought the ruins to life as he guided us through the highlights of the massive sight. When we ran out of energy, Giuseppi was sensitive to our cues and promptly delivered us to our next hotel in Naples. Guiseppi is a gentleman and a scholar. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, like us, you will also want to call him a friend.

Fabrizio was spectacular. He was the perfect mix of history and humor. He managed to keep all 20 of us interested and engaged. He was fun and funny, as well as a fountain of knowledge about Pompeii. What a great experience it was!

Giuseppe was an amazing tour guide full of knowledge about everything we saw in Pompeii. I would highly recommend him and Leisure Italy to anyone. They were readily available to answer any questions before the tour and were very quick with any replies to email. The tour of Pompeii was the trip of a life time and Giuseppe made sure we saw all of the highlights; his dept of knowledge about Pompeii and the history of the city was amazing and made the trip complete. if you plan to visit Pompeii i would highly recommend taking a guide and there is no one better than Giuseppe. We also took a tour of Villa Arianna, Oplontis, and Villa San Marco which were all hidden gems around Pompeii and well worth a visit.

Our visit to Pompeii was the trip of a lifetime, and Giuseppe's knowledge made the experience better than we could have ever imagined! He is personable, a wealth of knowledge, and tailored the day to our interests. Pompeii is huge, so having someone to navigate the site was definitely worth the price! After Pompeii he drove us to 3, rarely visited Roman villas in the area. We never would have found them on our own, and these sites were an added bonus to an incredible day. Grazie Giuseppe!
