Ciao, I'm Francesca, a licensed tour leader and your local guide to the heart of Italy's Veneto region! As a Verona native, I have a deep passion for sharing the secrets of my city and its stunning surroundings. I'm excited to invite you on a journey that goes beyond the typical tourist path, offering a unique and authentic taste of Italian life. I’ve worked for years in tourism, including with a boutique tour operator based in San Diego, leading food and wine tours for international travelers. I'm also a photography lover and I know exactly where to take you for the most scenic views and unforgettable photo opportunities. Passionate about local food and wine, I’ll make sure you taste only authentic, high-quality products that reflect the true flavors of our region. I'm fluent in English, Italian, and a bit of Spanish, so feel free to communicate with me in the language you're most comfortable with. Whether we're exploring ancient Roman ruins, sipping on world-class Valpolicella wine, or cruising across the serene waters of Lake Garda, I'll ensure your tour is filled with joy, discovery, and a touch of local magic.
