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!

The territory between Bologna and Modena is considered the heart of the so-called Motor Valley which develops throughout the Emilia Romagna region. Here, within a radius of about 60 kilometers, we can find some of the most famous brands of motors and sports cars in the world. Come and discover with me with this private full day tour a different point of view on this fantastic region, rich in history, culture, gastronomy but also at the forefront in terms of research, innovation and design. Let's find out the motor brands that made "Made in Italy" so famous worldwide!
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.
Despite the rain the guys had an amazing day on this tour. Francesco met them at the train station and off they went. The guys said they had an amazing time...thank you Francesco.
Had a lot of fun spending the day with Francesco. He is very knowledgeable. I just wish I couold have taken one of the vehicles home.
