You speak French, you go through Bergamo and you want to discover the upper city?
You're in the right place!
I am Valentina, born in Bergamo but French by training: I studied at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris and today I am official guide of the city of Bergamo.
Come with me to feel comfortable with a qualified Francophone guide and visit Bergamo without exhausting yourself: my visits never exceed 1h30!
Are you ready for a trip back in time, between important monuments and hidden corners?
We will start with the incredible panoramas of the Rocca Castle. Then we will cross the medieval streets and old market squares, passing between fountains, washhouses and towers.
Finally we will arrive in the political and religious heart of the city: Piazza Vecchia and Piazza Duomo, to enter (if opening hours allow) the Colleoni Chapel, a Renaissance masterpiece.
Discover Bergamo's old town with me: I'm waiting for you!
