Francesca was a delight. She was very friendly and and told us all about the Forum & the colosseum, but it was a lovely conversation, NOT a class. We also asked for a recommendation for lunch, and it was wonderful!! Thank you for a wonderful day in Rome!!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I am glad you liked the local restaurant! Life is too short for bad food! Thank you for your kind words and see you the next time for another tour! Cheers!

Our tour of Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este was wonderful. Francesca is very knowledgeable and fun -- and brought the sites alive for us. Especially at Hadrian's Villa, Francesca helped us understand the life that was lived when these ruins were an actual palace. Very strongly recommend this tour!!!!

Good tour by Francesca, a very pleasant and helpful person. She was particularly flexible and made a big effort to get us the tickets we needed even though they were difficult to get. She knew her way around the Forum and the Colloseum , helping us to avoid the crowded areas and provide lots of information during the tour.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks David for your kind words! I am always happy when I can help my customers! It was a real pleasure meeting you and Victoria. Hope to see you again! Ciao, Francesca

Francesca was a wonderful guide for our Borghese Gallery Private Tour for our family which included my wife, myself, our son, our daughter in law and our 8 year old grand daughter. She was great with my wife who has mobility issues- she advocated for letting her bring in her walking chair/cane upon entry, helping us get the elevator rides and finding places to sit down . She really engaged all of us but especially our grand daughter who was experiencing the Borghese for the first time.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Mark for your kind words. I hope to welcome you and your beautiful family again in the future. Thank you!

So glad we were able to schedule the Ancient Rome Extended Tour with Francesca. She was a great guide. Very easy to communicate with, responsive to questions, well prepared in regard to giving us the background on what we were seeing. Although we had to been to Rome several times before, we had never toured the Colosseum, Palantine Hill and the Forum. Walking by them leaves so much to discover once you have someone like Francesca to provide so much of the related history. Thank you Francesca!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Arthur! Francesca

This was our first time in Rome and we only had one day. The tour with Francesca was the absolute best way to experience this vast and beautiful city. There is so much to see we could have spent a month. Francesca had organized the day to see every major site we had been dreaming of and did a masterful job coordinating with our driver. We would be let off at the entrance and picked up at the exit, just to be whisked to the next. AMAZING. Thank you so much Francesca, for a magical day in Rome.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Scott! Grazie mille!
