Francesca was everything we could wish in our guide, knowledgeable, caring, and engaging. She was waiting on time and expertly took us through the history and present of Livorno. The pace was nice and the conversation lovely.

Our tour with Francesca was wonderful! She was a very knowledgeable young lady who gave us a great tour in spite of the extremely hot weather! We highly recommend Francesca to anyone traveling in this area.

We had a wonderful walk thru Livorno with our local guide Francesca. She took us through the center, viewed historic buildings, went to the harbor and we’re able to board the Amerigo Vespucci ship which was in port. We viewed the old fort and the canal district which is where my great-grandmother most likely lived in the 1860s. Much of the city was bombed during WWII, but could see the reconstruction and new developments with the cruise industry. She was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. I was so happy to have booked this trip.

Francesca was very knowledgeable and brought the historical significance of Livorno to life. She was warm and friendly and took great care of us. Communication was excellent and she even booked our restaurant for lunch and ended our tour there. Couldn’t ask for more.

Francesca is just a lovely person with a vast amount of knowledge about Livorno. She was kind and thoughtful even as flexible. It was a great experience and we highly recommend her to get the real city known.

Francesca lo hizo muy bien pero Livorno no tiene nada especial que ver y a pesar de su amabilidad y simpatía la ciudad no da para dos horas
