Excellent guide, very knowledgeable. I strongly recommend it to all families. Francesco swerved all our questions as they were coming out.

You owe it to yourself to experience Pompeii with an archeologist who is part of the excavation team! Francesco helped us understand what every day life in Pompeii was like and shared technical and historical details that we wouldn’t get anywhere else. He was personable, focused on giving the best tour possible and had a very nice presentation. Book him. You won’t be sorry.

Thank you Francesco. That was an awesome experience and your knowledge, expertise and easygoing style was really special. Pompeii is an extraordinary place to visit; my wife and I rate it in the very top of our experiences anywhere in the world and our sons found it to be not only astonishing but inspirational. Your tour would have been cheaper if we had a bigger group but we were so delighted to have such personal guidance - worth every cent and more. Thank you again.

We met Francesco at the gate on arrival to Pompeii ruins, and decided to do the tour. If we were to do it again, we would happily book again with him in advance. Francesco is an archeologist with thorough knowledge of Pompeii, the preservation process, history and also able to explain and answer questions fluently in English. We very impressed with the tour, and even though we only did 1 hr 45 min tour, we wish we could have done more time with him as he has a lot of knowledge and was excited to share it.

Francesco was extremely knowledgeable and provided an efficient and seamless private tour experience in Pompei for my husband and me. I would recommend him especially for anyone dedicating a few hours only to visiting Pompei (we were traveling from Rome to Positano that day and stopped in Pompei for the tour). Francesco helped us learn a lot and avoid the crowds. As an archaeologist involved in the ongoing excavation efforts, he had great insight. Also, he was very polite and gracious too.

The tour was great and well worth the fee. Francesco is very knowledgeable in all aspects of history, art and civic life of Pompeii. He’s well spoken and my only regret is not arranging for a longer tour with him.

Our tour was fantastic and our guide was immensely knowledgeable! He took time to explain intricate details to us that we would never have learned on our own. I highly recommend using his services to anyone. His English was great as well.

Amazing guide. Speaks extremely clean English. He’s an archeologist for Pompeii. The place is massive and he hits all the highlights. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii, Roman history, the culture, all history in general. He has photos on his phone to show you perceptions of the past. Honestly the price is a steal. I will recommend and come to him again when we do others in the area.

We had a great experience on the tour of Pompeii with Francesco. The tour was very informative and engaging, and it was a great use of time to be taken to all the best parts of the area! The time went quickly and Francesco took great care to check in on the group every so often for both understanding and wellbeing. We would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking to learn about Pompeii, and thank you to Francesco for being a great, welcoming tour guide also. :)

The tour was excellent. It was two hours but it flew by. Francesco was so kind and informative. He showed us around all the main areas and painted a full picture of what life was like in Pompeii. Highly recommend.
