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

Francesco is everything one could wish for to have an exceptional visit to the Amalfi Coast. First, he speaks great english. Next, he is personable, charming, respectful and attentive. His vehicle is comfortable, clean and with effective air conditioning. His use of technology is well integrated in the journey. He uses an iPad, preloaded with film clips and other useful... More

After reading all the great reviews on Trip Advisor about Francesco Marrapese Tours, I contacted him to see if he was available to take our group of four from Napoli to Positano . I received a prompt reply. I had also asked about a tour to Pompeii later in the week. He said that he or an associate would be... More

Francesco provided the perfect balance of professionalism, humor, intellect and insight throughout our day-long private tour of the Amalfi coast. Francesco's service is impeccable and his price point is well placed. You will find yourself WANTING to pay him far more than he asks for. My fiance and I, along with two other couples, hired Francesco to introduce us to... More
