Hi, I’m Francesca
Hi, I’m Francesca
I’ve lived in Verona for 32 years
I speak English, Italian and some Spanish
I am a Tour Leader
Ciao! I’m Francesca, your Verona insider with a soft spot for good wine, hidden gems, and views that make you say “wow” out loud. You’ll usually find me wandering the romantic historic center or sipping something fabulous in a new bar I “accidentally” discovered. I know the cobbled streets of Borgo Trento, Avesa, and Valdonega like the back of my hand - and probably better than my phone’s GPS. I’m a bit obsessed with local wines (strictly for research!) and love catching pop-up art shows that surprise even the locals. If you’re into nature walks, spontaneous photo ops, and laughing your way through Verona’s charms, I’ve got you covered.
