Hi, my name is Francesco. I would like to welcome you to my warm and welcoming Emilia Romagna. I was born and raised in Ravenna but I have lived in Bologna for many years. I am a tour guide and a tour leader with a regular license and since I am a professional wine taster I have chosen to tell my territory giving great importance to the food and wine aspect. First of all I would say that I feel like a traveler. I have had travel experience on almost every continent. As a traveler, I like to blend in with the local people and learn from them the secrets of the place visited. In every place I visit then, I love to taste the local delicacies. I also give great importance to storytelling. To what and how say something, for this reason I have devoted a lot of time to writing (another interest I have) and, lucky me. . . I have published three travel books, nationwide distributed (Recently tranlsated in English and available on Amazon) So, my idea of ​​traveling and touring is to get to know people with a local perspective, to get to know the historical and gastronomic culture and to know how to tell it. This is my idea of ​​travel and what I try to spread to the travelers I meet! Contact me without hesitation for any information or to customize your tour!

    Francesco was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly and a perfect guide. We explained what we were interested in and he tailored our tour just for us. He was very interesting with a fascinating background. He can do food and wine tours as well as historical tours. I highly recommend him as you will not be disappointed
