Guide #4699
Hi everybody! My name is Francesca and I live in Genoa (Genova in Italian!), where I was born. I have a degree in Geology and licenses as a city guide and hiking guide. I worked for an oilfield company for few years long time ago, but I am working as a guide already since 30 years and collaborate with TBL since more than 10 years! I am always enthusiastic to meet new people and to involve them in the knowledge of my native region, Liguria. I like meeting new guests, walking with them, telling them about the nature and the history. . . cooking with them!! I am specialized in Genoa, but also in the Italian Riviera (Portofino, Camogli, Monterosso and many hidden little towns!)... Do you like to discover more about you ancestors in Liguria? Let me know, we can plan a research with a genealogist! Do you like to learn about the real ingredients for authentic local recipes, like pesto or focaccia genovese? We can go together to the market! Do you like to visit a private palace with incredible painted ceilings and great facilities?...why not? We can easily plan a customized tour: I am a certified, but I am not a driver, so I can arrange a vehicle if required or a cooking class or a tasting! Francesca

Great trip to Portofino and Santa Maria. We have a great time around the area. They found a wonderful local restaurant for us to have lunch at as well. It was great!
Francesca made Genoa very special with her knowledge and warm personality. She included specialty food shops that would have been impossible to find on your own. She also kept the pace exactly how we wanted it. I would highly recommend her.
Our tour guide was amazing! THANK YOU! for spending so much time with us and teaching us all about your area. We will be back and ask for you again.
Francesca was wonderful!!! We had a delicious, informative, fun day. One of our group is disabled, using a wheelchair and Francesca went out of her way to make sure everywhere we went was acessable for the wheelchair and her driver Marco was very helpful getting the chair in and out of the van. All of the food stops were delicious, and along the way we got a great...
