⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating Tour with an Excellent Guide! Francesco was a fantastic guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the history of both Herculaneum and Pompeii, including how the same eruption affected the two cities in very different ways. It was fascinating to learn about the differences and to see the sites with someone who could really bring the history to life. Francesco kept the tour moving at a great pace and was very thoughtful about keeping us in the shade as much as possible, which was especially appreciated on a hot day. He was also funny and engaging and did a wonderful job keeping my 11-year-old son interested throughout the tour. Herculaneum was especially enjoyable because there were so few people there, which made the experience feel even more special. Francesco’s knowledge, humor, and ability to make history interesting for both adults and kids made this one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly recommend him!
