Fabrizio was an amazing tour guide. He was so great to mind our time schedule right from the start of our tour all the way to the end. He was an excellent planner of our itinerary. He was great with our children ages 10 & 12. He was engaging and informative. I think he also knew four languages! He knew any question our family threw at him. He gave us an extensive tour of Pompeii, Sorrento, and a view of the Amalfi Coast and our ship wasn’t even docked for very long! He was an amazing tour guide and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer my friends to him. He’s simply the best!

Great experience. Our driver, Stefano was a great driver on the scary narrow roads to the Amalfi Coast. He was very informative and made the long drives enjoyable. He was very polite and friendly. He gave some great tips on our stops to make best use of our time. Our stop times in Positano and Ravello were perfect. Viviana, our Pompei tour guide was very attentive. She was very knowledgeable and showed her passion for the beautiful site and it's history. She catered to our needs and we really enjoyed our time with her! Glad we decided on this tour! It was a perfect first day in Italy.

Excellent guided tour of Pompeii with Umberto, he was super knowledgeable and engaging. Great for families with kids. Our driver, Alessio, was friendly and offered great suggestions. Overall, we had a fantastic day that would not have been possible without using this tour. Highly recommended!

Ciro met us at the cruise terminal. He was even 30 minutes early so we got an early start before 8am. Comfortable air conditioned van. Went to Positano first, he told us about things we were passing. Had an hour and 30 minutes there, then drove to Sorrento. FYI - Sorrento has less expensive souvenirs. We had an hour in Sorrento, we shopped and had a quick bite to eat. Then headed to Pompei. There was no line to get in at that point in the day (Saturday in July). We explored on our own and had 2 hours. Lots of driving but well worth it to see the amazing Amalfi coast on our own and not with a huge tour group.

Amazing! Our tour guide was great and showed us everything we wanted and was very accommodating. So nice to have our own private guide

Our tour driver was fantastic ( Carmine- spelling? Sorry I didn’t get his name correct). The roads were dangerous and windy but he was an expert so we were in good hands. He was patient and accommodating and also pointed out items of interest along the way.
We needed to change the plans at the last minute to upgrade to a tour guide of Pompei and the Leisure Italy Vincenzo accommodated our request. This was well worth it as we got the most out of the tour in terms of what we were looking for. The guide that gave us a tour of Pompei was an expert as most guides are. Her enjoyment and passion for Pompei and history came through. She was engaging with the kids and customized the tour to our preferences.
A thoroughly wonderful day.

This was the most expensive tour we took for the week (5 private tours from the NCL Epic). It was the least favorite tour we had. Europe was extremely hot in July and every other tour guide we had provided us with cool water to drink during the tour, but when we asked for water, he stopped to let us buy our own (This tour was over $1300- would water have ruined their profit?). But the tour guide did have a portable router to allow us to access email, however it was not working in the afternoon, and despite me telling him that, he didn't try to fix it. He also had a microphone (no other guide had that) but in the third row in the van, they couldn't hear him, and he told them to turn off the AC, but in heat, who wants to do that? We went to Pompeii first, and he was a very thorough guide, and really knew his history, and gave us a very in depth look into the ruins. He spotted another tourist going into a roped off area while giving us our tour, and asked us to wait a minute while he went over and yelled at the other guy to get out of the space he was looking in. It was a bit strange for us. However, since it was so hot, after an hour and a half walking in the sun I told him that we were just too hot, and can we please go onto our next destination. Because he really was so into the Pompeii history, he had a little bit of a chip on his shoulder for the rest of the day. I had asked about going to the Cameo factory, and he told me that I should have told him sooner, and that we can not go. I thought this was a private tour? Anyway, we continued onto Sorrento. When we got there, it was lunchtime, and he said he would make a reservation for us at a wonderful restaurant. And that we had 2 hours to eat and look around the town on our own. Well the restaurant served slowly, and that took 1.5 hours of our time in Sorrento, so we didn't really have time to see much of it. The restaurant was very expensive- 5 pizza's were $113 Euro! (it was half that every other restaurant we ate in on our other tours) So, he probably got some sort of kickback, since we had to tell the hostess he sent us. He did stop for pictures on the way to Positano, in a lovely spot. Then we got to Positano and we had another hour to look around on our own. The scenery was beautiful, but we could have just hired a taxi and took a tour of Pompeii for much less. Not worth the money.

Hello Helene,
this is Fabrizio from Leisure Italy. We are sorry to read you did not have a great day in Naples. But we are afraid there must be some misunderstanding because we do not offer any tour as expensive as you state! The real tour price is not even half what you write. We are wondering if this review is not posted to the wrong business. We would really appreciate if you could double check.Thaks in advance, Fabrizio

This was an amazing tour. Our driver was very accommodating and knowledgeable. He suggested great stops to capture perfect pictures, provided great information and was really great with my four kids. I highly recommend and will be using again on my next visit.

Fabio our driver/guide was prompt and there to meet our train as requested . Pleasant and knowledgeable about area but the traffic was so heavy that our time to walk around Amalfi and Positano was cut to less than an hour at each place . Way to much time in the car. Daniela our Pompeii guide was excellent . It might be good to advise future clients that weekends are not the best to drive this route because of heavy traffic delays
Response from Host, Mar 2020
Thank you for your review. Yes traffic can be a problem during week ends, which is the reason why we always recommend a week day or anyway an early start. Anyway we are glad you had a good day!

Fabrizzio was well educated in ancient history and made a perfect guide in Pompeii. He recommended touring the Amalfi coast first to avoid the larger morning crowds in Pompeii. Perfect decision, since it was cool in April and we had plenty of time for the afternoon tour in Pompeii. To engage a personal driver/guide is a wonderful way to tour these areas, since you can tailor your day to meet your personal preferences. Fabrizzio was excellent, with near perfect English. A much better way to visit these areas than in large tour groups!
