Things to do Walking Tour of the Secrets of Bergamo
Good morning, Travelers!

We will start the visit near Colle Aperto, near the bus stop and the City Map.
We will study the history of the Visconti medieval lords and walk along the Corsarola, the street most loved by the people of Bergamo, towards Piazza Vecchia and its countless monuments.
There will be a final with a breathtaking view from the Rocca fortress, and there will be a surprise there!

“Francesca is a TOP-GUIDE!”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Francesca's English was the best of any tour guide I've had in Italy. She spoke clearly, her tour was enjoyable and interactive, and her knowledge of both local history and general Italian history were excellent. I know many people are used to not paying ahead of time, but her tour is worth every penny.

“Excellent and fun!”
Francesca was an excellent professional guide with so much historical information. She was lively and made the tour fun. We’d highly recommend her to help you understand and navigate Bergamo Citta Alta! Best of all was the surprise at noon where the bells in the city chimed in turn! That viewpoint was so quiet and not crowded at all. Finally, Francesca was excellent since we booked only a couple days prior and showed up early too! Two prior tour guides with other companies had cancelled due to their schedule change or temperamental weather, so we so happy to have a reliable and great tour with Francesca!

“Wonderful walking tour,”
Francesca was an excellent guide - she knows the history and points out many fascinating details in the architecture. A lively and engaging personality, with good English and good backup materials. We have done many Freetours - this was one of the best.
