We toured Pompeii with our guide Francesca, and it was an incredible experience. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the history of the site come alive with her insights and storytelling. She navigated us through the ruins while skillfully avoiding the crowds, which made the tour feel much more personal and immersive. Francesca answered all of our questions thoroughly and even gave us tips and information to continue exploring on our own after the tour ended. Pompeii is massive, but thanks to her guidance, we were able to see and understand so much in the time we had. Highly recommend touring with Francesca if you want a deeper and more meaningful experience.

Our tour was great and very interesting! The headsets were only on one ear though and were a little hard to hear everything the guide said.
