Francesco is an expert , highly recommended - Francesco was a wonderful guide, from contacting us before the day on whatsapp to make sure we knew what we were doing to guiding us around the site with ease and knowledge it was all top class. Having someone who actually works in the site was fantastic and we learned so much. We could go at our own pace and Francesco expertly avoided all the crowds. LOVE IT

Pompeii in July is not easy, but with Francesco, it was fantastic. - Our group asked for a specific overview of Pompeii in relation to the history of the city, the eruption and the impact of tourism and archaeological looting with regards to site preservation in the Bay of Naples. Our tour of Pompeii was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to Francesco. His profound knowledge and passion for the ancient city brought its history vividly to life and his expertise was evident in every story he shared, from the intricate details of daily life in Pompeii to the broader historical and cultural context of the Roman Empire. Even in the hot heat ofJuly, his enthusiasm was infectious, and he had an incredible ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging for everyone in our group. We left with a deep appreciation for the site and a richer understanding of its significance, all thanks to his dedication and care of our group and its goals.
