Hello, I'm Francesco, packed your bags? I'm waiting for you to have an amazing experience with me in Campania, the region for which I've been an official guide since 2014. I live in the charming and delightful city of Salerno since I moved from Teggiano, a medieval village nested in a beautiful valley from "Cilento and Vallo di Diano" National Park, where I grew up breathing art and history, and where I developed a passion for archeology. I cultivated this passion by graduating in archeology in Naples and taking a Master's degree at the prestigious "La Sapienza" University of Rome. I had the opportunity to excavate in prestigious and dreamy places, such as the archaeological site of Pompeii and the slopes of the Palatine Hill, at the foot of the Colosseum. I improved my English by moving to Nottingham, UK, where I studied at a local English school and worked in an Italian restaurant, an experience that allowed me to broaden my human, linguistic and personal horizons. The desire to return home was strong though, so I returned to Salerno, where I qualified as a tour guide. Thanks to this new job I was able to cultivate my other two passions such as travel and good Italian food and wine! But above all, I was able to start a family and now I am the father of two wonderful children. During the years of Covid-19, I worked as a teacher, which allowed me to improve my ability to relate to kids of different ages. In these years I think I've gained considerable experience and knowledge in my work that I'll put behind making your Italian holiday a unique experience. I hope to introduce you to a treasure chest of wonders from archaeology to gastronomy, art & culture found in Campania. I can't wait to accompany you along the divine Amalfi Coast, but of course, I want you to better appreciate my heart and soul which is Salerno, the place where I really feel at home and where I try daily to make visitors feel special. So if you are looking for an expert and passionate tour guide, do not hesitate to contact me! Licensed tourist guide of Campania Region since 2014. Master degree in Archeology at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". Bachelor's degree in Conservation of Cultural and Archaeological Heritage at the University "Suor Orsola Benincasa" of Naples. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Pompei tour

If you want to take a step back in time to discover Roman civilization in all its splendor, you cannot miss this tour. I will take you to the discovery of Pompeii, a roman city buried and preserved over time by the famous eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. We will visit the city of Pompeii which houses the best preserved remains of a Roman city in the world. Walking through its streets, visiting its ancient domus (houses), the public baths, the Forum with its public buildings. With a three-hour tour, which is more than a standard tour, you can enjoy the charm of Pompeii without rushing and exploring secret corners less frequented by tourists which will allow you to immerse yourself in the daily life of the ancient Romans. You will have the opportunity to visit Pompeii accompanied by an archaeologist who combines preparation with informative skills and a pinch of humour. Come with me and discover this wonderful ancient city!

We had a wonderful 3 hour tour of Pompeii with Francesco! We had great communication beforehand, taking onboard all our requirements. We were taking my 80 year old parents and he was very thoughtful in planning a suitable route and finding plenty of places to stop. He was also extremely fun and knowledgable and brought ancient Pompeii to life for us. One of the best guides we’ve ever had, and we would absolutely recommend 100%!

Pompeii was awesome. Saw the most beautiful sites. Our guide was awesome. Spoke great English and was helpful and patient with our wheelchair situation. The guide, Francesco was top notch. The tour was top notch. Wheelchair accessible it is not. Please do not take a wheelchair person. It is just too difficult to maneuver. Francesco is so knowledgeable and awesome. You can’t go wrong with Francesco. You will love him.

Francesco was a great guide. His communication before the tour was excellent. During the tour, he understood that I knew a lot about Pompeii and the science of archaeology already, and was able to show and explain various things well beyond the usual history of the eruption of Vesuvius and finding the city again. We covered a lot of territory during the three hours, but it never felt rushed. But aside from being knowledgeable, he is just a really nice guy and fun to be around. Bravo, Francesco. Mille grazie!
