Guide #41628

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! Tour Guide professional licence Tour Leader professional licence Wine taster O.N.A.V. Degree I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. Please note that food tours do not provide an alternative for vegetarians or celiacs.

    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.

    My husband and I had an amazing experience in Ravenna with Francesco. He offers two tours in Ravenna, one focused on food and one focused on art, but we wanted to go in depth on both. So we booked both tours and he combined them together to make an amazing full day tour for us. First of all, he’s a local and knows the history of the area and has wonderful insights into...
