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 very prompt and met us outside of our hotel. We went to a good Italian restaurant(Pasta Fresca Piadina de Stefy), ate delicious gelato(Sbrino), went to the mercato cuperto(Italian marketplace) ate truffle dip and drank wine(Tartulab), and experienced a sinking church and Dante's tomb. This was very good tour and highly recommend when visiting Ravenna.

    Great guide and driver. Both were personable and very helpful. Mercedes van was very comfortable transportation for our group of four mature travelers. Francesco was easy to communicate with prior to our tour of the Motor Valley and tailored the tour to include a balsamic vinegar tasting and Modena market visit as well as the Ferrari and Lamborghini tours.
