Francesco Marrapese was an absolute delight. He was flexible, informative, offered suggestions for sights to see but not rigid in his tour so that we could customize as we went through the day. We took several tours while in Italy and found the day we spent together one of our highlights. He was attentive to our interests and kept us... More

Francesco was recommended to us by an Italian friend. He added so much to our vacation. Always on time, happy and personable! In addition to the wonderful sites, he added so much knowledge and local stories to really bring the tour to life! We were a family of five touring and we were with him on and off for four... More

After reading the wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor and seeing Francesco's well kept website, we booked his services for an airport transfer as well as a full-day tour of the coast and Pompeii. Airport transfer was fine and uneventful with one of his transfer drivers on his staff picking us up. The REAL treat though was our day tour of... More

I found Francesco on Tripadvisor and set up our trip to the Amalfi Coast from Naples with him. He picked us up right at the dock in Naples and transported us to Pompeii for a visit. He recommended getting a personal guide in Pompeii (Sasha Bianco) which was worth every penney. Sasha was a great guide and we learned so... More

As a very frequent traveler I have discovered that good tour guides are a dime a dozen. Francesco set the bar incredibly high for my future tours. A group of 6 of us went to Sorrento for Easter and wanted to hire a private guide to take us along the Amalfi Coast for the day. It was perfect. Francesco picked... More

I went to the Amalfi Coast with my family over the summer, and if it weren't for Francesco, the trip would never have been so amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable, funny, and the most gracious host the area could ask for. My parents have been to the Amalfi coast before and said they never had a guide like Francesco. He... More

Francesco has proven himself to be a wonderful, all round tour guide! From the beginning when I first contacted him, he was always prompt (and very courteous) in replying to my phone calls and emails. He was prompt on our pick up time for a day excursion around the coast with it ending in Pompeii. He even arranged for a... More

We were a group of 14 and Francesco organized the most amazing tour that took us to places out of the ordinary that cruise tour buses can not go. He also took us to a fun Family restaurant for lunch high in the hills above Positano and the whole tour was enjoyed by all! It is a great way to... More

Without a doubt, the highlight of our Mediterranean cruise was the Amalfi Coast drive. Hiring a private car and driver is the way to go because you don't have to worry about driving the narrow winding road and just enjoy the beautiful views. That said, we couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one that Francesco provided. His... More

We were referred to Francesco from a friend who had been on a tour w/him to the same area. She raved about him, so I took her recommendation and was not disappointed! Unfortunately, our cruise changed our dates on our visit to the port of Salerno and Francesco was not available that day, but he set us up w/a collegue... More
