About Francesca

I have guided around Juliet's House for years, and I am always honest that the balcony and much of the story attached to it were added centuries after any real events, if there were any at all. My other session covers the house linked to Romeo nearby, similarly built on legend rather than proof. I like presenting both buildings as what they actually are, medieval architecture wrapped in a much later story, rather than pretending otherwise. I keep a warm, straightforward pace and enjoy questions about how the legend grew.

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.
