Francesco with Topguides Pompeii was amazing! He was our tour guide in March 2022 and we were so impressed that we requested him for another tour on our second trip to Pompeii, this time with our adult kids. He showed us things we had not seen the first time and took us on a route that helped to avoid the summer crowds. He made the history of the area come alive with in depth knowledge along with a fun and interesting personality! He grew up in the area and speaks english fluently. We had a great day and would highly recommend Topguides Pompeii!

Francesco provided us with an excellent two hour tour and really brought Pompeii to life for us. He is so knowledgeable and we would highly recommend hiring him as a guide as we got so much more out of our visit than if we had just used a map / guide book. Thank you Francesco

Francesco was very knowledgeable, answered all questions, and had a great sense of humor. He was born and raised in the city, so truly knows the excavation site like the back of his hand. We did a tour with a broader small group, and it was great. Highly recommended.

Francesco is a good guide who carefully chooses what to show tourists without them getting lost in the network of streets and helps them focus their attention on the places that have the greatest charm. Available and clear in explanations.
Thinking about touring Pompeii alone makes little sense, because the risk is to go around without being able to fully enjoy the beauty preserved here.

Francesco was very clear in his exposition and presentation of the guided tour of Pompeii that he led, we found him to be just a bit in a hurry and in a hurry, so when I reached the group I didn't hear much of the explanation. I point out that I didn't waste time stopping around but only because I have a physical problem that doesn't allow me to walk too quickly. Still, it was an interesting visit

Our guide was brilliant! Very knowledgeable and passionate about Pompeii and its history. He tailored the tour to suit our available timings as we had to get back to our cruise ship. His pace and delivery was excellent, spoke very good English, was polite and thoughtful, along with a good sense of humour.
We would definitely highly recommend him.

Francesco accommodated me, my mother and sister last minute and so glad we got to spend our time with him. He is super knowledgeable about the site! He pointed out pieces of history I would have never known. Coming here has been on my bucket list for a long time so this was an experience I will never forget! Grazie Francesco!
