Hi there! Nice to meet you

Francesca

I am a former journalist with a degree in modern languages and passionate about history of art; I had the opportunity to be a guide during Milan Expo 2015 and I decided to follow my inner calling to be a guide and a tour leader! I love being with people and showing them my city, Milan. Cities are not merely cities, they are "human beings" in their own rights and deserve to be "told" to people, like stories.

Wir waren 14 Erwachsene und sie hat unseren Abend in Navigli Quartier sehr gut organisiert. Mit viel Liebe und Herzblut ist sie bei der Sache und konnte uns einige spannende Dinge erzählen. Als Steinliebhaberin hat sie bei uns „Ein Stein im Brett“ FelixFrancesca liebt ihren Job

My wife and I only had one day to see many of the important sites in Milan. Our goal was to see the Duomo interior and rooftops, Sforza Castle, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and La Scala. Francesca and I messaged multiple times as we created a plan. She was always prompt and polite. The tour itself was wonderful. Fast and efficient. Francesca knows her way around the city and the made sure we hit the highlights are every stop. At La Scala, we were fortunate to see the beginning of an Opera rehearsal. Francesca is an experienced and excellent guide. I would definitely use her again. Milan Highlights

Francesca is knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We were only in town for a day, so were looking to hit the highlights, and our tour was perfect for that. But on a longer visit, it would also have been a great tour to orient yourself before setting out to explore on your own. Francesca managed to balance the interests of a 55-year-old and a 19-year-old. I highly recommend both her and Milan! Lovely Day in Milan

Francesca was a perfect guide. She knew so much and was very kind and fun to be with. She even followed up later with a few more suggestions for our interests. Excellent!

We enjoyed our time with Francesca exploring and learning about Milan and its history. Francesca showed us hidden spots that you would walk right by without a guide. She was very informative, and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. Would definitely recommend a tour with Francesca to people coming to Milan! Great tour of Milan!

My wife and I had a lovely tour with Francesca! Having toured parts of Milan on a previous visit, we decided to take her "Off the Beaten Path" tour and explore the Navigli district. She was flexible to meet us at a convenient location and provided such an insightful and informative tour. We met some wonderful local artisans that with which Francesca has a warm relationship, which made for a special and insightful tour. Charming and Knowledgeable Guide!
