Ciao! Hello! Hola! Benvenuti in Italia! Hello, Welcome in Italy, Bienvenidos en Italia! My name is Francesca and I am a qualified tourist guide. Photography lover, food lover, sea lover…well do you know that there is a relationship between Florence and the sea ? The city where I was born and I still live live, Livorno, is a nice sea town created by the Medici family. As I had been lucky to live an exchange student experience in Australia, I can understand the sense of wonder a tourist could have in a place like Tuscany and its cities. Visiting places like Florence, Lucca, Livorno. . it is not only art, history, museums but it is our daily life, curious things as a local could see and live. Or imaging how locals like the Medici, Michelangelo or Leonardo. . . could have lived in their times. I can tailor the tour on the visitors'needs. I always update myself with courses expecially based on two of my greatest passions: photography and food. And all this work enables me to enjoy my work, wandering in these streets and talking about the importance of tasting a good gelato or taking family pictures of the clients with the most important or curious highlights of the city and to have good memories of the visit. Some fun facts about me: - favourite painting at Uffizi: just to name one "La Lippina" painted by Fra Filippo Lippi - favourite dish: not only one of course ;-) But if you are in Tuscany "Pici all'Aglione" - favourite street food: schiacciata with prosciutto - favourite wine: in Tuscany Bogheri DOC, out of Tuscany Ribolla Gialla And now. . . vamos, let's go . . . andiamo!

Why should you "walk" this tour? I am a local tourist guide, I am Tuscan and I just adore this cozy and warm city, a less known Tuscany but beautiful! Lucca is a true hidden gem, you litterally "wander" throught its narrow streets and walls, the towers, the 100 churches, little shops. . . with trees all along the walls. Personally I adore to wander around it and making people enoy this relaxed atmosphere. It could happen some classical music written by Giacomo Puccini, to enter the magnificent Cathedral. . . so a kind of magical atmosphere! And looking at its towers you will ask yourself: why is there a tower with a tree? I will not spoil the answer so join me in this tour. So . . . let's go. . . vamos. . . andiamo! (Please before booking, check on the calendar given with the tour description or contact me about my availability, thank you)
Our tour of Lucca with Francesca was thoroughly enjoyable. It gave us a great understanding of the town and region's history, and gave meaning to the churches and monuments we visited, and the town as we walked around it. Francesca was very professional but also friendly and answered all our questions, and gave us great suggestions for typical food which we enjoyed later at lunch. I would recommend this tour, and Francesca as a guide.
Francesca was wonderful! So knowledgeable, friendly, upbeat and professional. We loved both of our tours with her and will tell our traveling friends about her. She is very sweet and caring
We will stroll around Lucca downtown (outside visits) seeing (not necessarily in this order): - the city walls - San Michele - the Guinigi tower (better known as "the tree tower") - the Cathedral - Piazza dell'Anfiteatro - Piazza Napoleone - Piazza del Giglio .- Corte San Lorenzo (Puccini's with house) - San Frediano and what about a good Italian coffè? Please, before booking message me in order to check my availability. The price is for groups up to 4 people so if you are more, please feel free to ask me a custumised offer. And if you have any special interests or wishes, I will be happy to customise this tour for you!
