About Francesca

I studied sculpture, so Fonte Gaia at the top of Piazza del Campo gets close attention in my sessions, camera on the carved panels that are actually careful copies protecting the fragile originals elsewhere. I also cover the Loggia della Mercanzia nearby, explaining what a merchants' loggia was actually used for in medieval Siena. My sessions move slowly between the two, since both reward a proper look rather than a quick pass. I keep my explanations specific rather than general.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
