Frankie was a really good and fun guide. It was worth the money and he made the trip really interesting despite the very hot weather. Big recommendation from here :)

Frankie was our tour guide, and he was absolutely amazing. He was informative, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. It’s very evident Frankie loves his job as he’s been giving tours for 25 years. We had so much fun “following Frankie”! He was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!

Great tour by Frankie. He was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, made the tour fantastic. The only downside of this tour was the pickup. We were asked to arrive 20mins early but then got a message to ask if we could go to the pickup point even earlier as they wanted to leave early. We arrived 40mins before the official pickup time. We didn't leave early and we had to stand 40mins in the heat.

We had an amazing tour with Frankie, he made the trip very enjoyable and comfortable despite the heat and number of tourists around. We felt like we had a good private tour in a public area and are appreciative of his efforts.

Franky made the tour amazing. He is so funny and knows so much
This was truly a worthwhile tour. Our guide was really knowledgable and answered all of the questions we had. Such an interesting place with so much history - it definitely cannot be covered in the limited time of a tour, but with the time that we did have, I feel so glad that we booked with an expert.
