I lead tours through Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Naples with energy, passion, and a touch of humor, making you feel as if you’ve stepped back 2,000 years.

We had a really good trip to Pompeii with Francesco. He is clearly both passionate and knowledgeable about Pompeii. Showing us quite many highlights in 2 hours - knowing the good photo sites and more quiet corners for us to be. Somehow we avoided feeling in a busy site. Further he went beyond and helped us with tips and planning of the rest of the day. Francesco - Engaged and knowledgeable

Pompeii is mind blowing and made 1000x more real and fascinating by Francesco! Francesco has so much energy and passion for Pompeii (he really has lived nothing else but Pompeii since being in the ruins as a kid!) that it’s infectious. Thank you from Alex and I for making the visit so memorable. Fantastic tour!!

Francesco was super fun on our tour, but also very knowledgeable about Pompéi. He helped us skip the queues and took us on all the quietest routes through the site. We would definitely recommend him!Pompei

I took my grandson to Pompeii so that he might discover some extraordinary history. With Francesco that was accomplished through his erudition and kindness towards us both, his sense of humour and delightful cheeky expressions! He was a great guide - enthusiastic, patient and kind.

I very much enjoyed my tour with Francesco. I have been to both erculaneum and pompeii but I learned quite a bit more with this tour. Francesco's knowledge and firsthand experience really showed in the tour. He was fun and showed us all the highlights as well and things I had previously not seen. Thanks for a good day.Always more to learn!
