We loved our 3 hour tour with Francesca. She was very knowledgeable and encouraged questions although we found she often answered before we even asked! Perfect! 10/10 to Francesca!

Francesca was a brilliant guide. She gently steered us through the itinerary, using her knowledge and humour to bring Pompeii alive to us. Her approach was to be informative without overwhelming us with information. Excellent experience.

Good

Walks company did a very poor job of providing meeting coordinates. We ended up almost missing the scheduled tour by going to the wrong location. Not sure if our guide was an archeologist as was stated in the tour description.
