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

Genova is a big city, but very much concentrated around its Old Port!. . . so it is EASY to discover it by foot. I will bring you to visit the heart of the ancient Republic and show you what I think it can be more relevant to let you understand its history!. . . Genova in the past had a Doge and a Bishop, exactly like Venice, but it started to be a city to visit not more than 20 years ago!. . . All to discover than!
From our meeting point we start our discovery! These are the five attractions I will show you: - Cathedral of Saint Laurence, with its majestic gothic facade and its interesting restoration after World War Two - the Doge Palace, where the main representative of the Genoese Nobility used to live, that today is a museum for different temporary exhibitions - Piazza De Ferrari, the border between the city of the Middle Ages and the city of the XIX century, with its fountain and the elegant eclectic buildings - Via Garibaldi, the "Strada Nuova" with the majestic noble palaces, built to be private banks - the several bakeries where we will taste our great focaccia!
