Itinerary

Castello di Brescia

Brescia´s highest spot, enclosed into ancient walls, the castle started to be constructed in the 8th century AD. The view over the city center and the Northern mountains surrounding the city are just stunning. We will have a short walk through and into the walls to reach the highest and most breathtaking panorama

25 minutes
Chiesa del Santissimo Corpo di Cristo

Even called "Brescia´s Sistine Chapel". An incredible site! We will enter and admire the glorious painted ceiling

20 minutes
Tempio Capitolino e Piazza del Foro

A piece of Ancient Rome right in the middle of Brescia.

20 minutes
Biblioteca Queriniana e il Palazzo vescovile

NOT AVAILABLE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOONS, SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS. This is a real 17th hundreds hidden gem, free open to the public but still missed by many

20 minutes
Piazza Paolo VI

One of the most Iconic squares of Brescia we will walk by the Old and the New Domes, the Medieval Tower of "Pegol" and learn about the ancient struggles between the noble families of Brescia

20 minutes
Piazza della Loggia

This square, with the glorious Loggia, the most important political building of the city since the late 14th hundreds is considered Brescia´s beating heart. Thousands of events occurred in the shade of the beautiful venetian looking Loggia through the centuries. An enchanting example of Italian renaissance square.

20 minutes
Piazza della Vittoria

A monumental example of Rationalistic architecture, Piazza della Vittoria was designed by architect Piacentini to glorify Mussolini´s regime. Despite the tragic ending of that story, the square really is a beauty that holds dozens of fun and interesting anecdotes about the city past and present.

20 minutes
Via San Faustino

From here we will explore the charming Carmine DIstrict. Once a sketchy place, it preserves the most genuine, rebellious, creative, cocky and still fascinating side of Brescia and the "Bresciani". Most of the rebellions and struggles for better life conditions, for worker´ s rights, most of the anti establishment movements arose in the tiny alleys of the Carmine.

Amazing local tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. The tour guide owns and runs this company with her husband. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area. She included so much wonderful information about the deep history. She brought us all of the major sights to see but also several lesser known sights that we had never heard of before that were just stunning. She gave us tons recommendations about local hangouts and additional places to visit after the tour. We ended with a drink at a local bar which was super cute and fun. This tour was a big highlight of our trip! I highly recommend this tour company!

This tour was absolutely incredible! I would recommend this to anyone visiting Brescia. The tour guide was incredibly friendly, informative, and passionate about the region. We were able to see everything from ancient Roman temples, to medieval basilicas, to the three different squares of the city.

Outstanding Tour - fantastic overview of this magical city!

Chiara's passion and knowledge of the history of this beautiful town made this tour very valuable. We arrived here without any prep about what to expect, and quickly realized what a gem Brescia is in this tour: Well preserved and showcased history in 2 museums, beautiful views from the castle, antique artwork in a chapel we would have never found ourselves, fantistic restaurant tips, and good insights into Italian culture. We had 2 nights here. Chiara's English and German is perfect.

What an unexpected hidden gem Brescia is! And what a great tour with Chiara!

We were not sure about what to find in the city as we were just looking for a stop on the way to Lake Maggiore. We regret not to have stayed over night! The moment we stepped off our car and walked to the Castle we were in love with this hidden gem. Then our amazing guide Chiara did the rest and made it a wonderful, memorable experience, showing us places and sites that were essential to really understand the greatness of this city. The "Sistine Chapel" of Brescia, the Roman Forum, the enchanting Piazza Loggia and the lovely atmosphere of the historical city center, Chiara made us experience all of it like we were two friends and topped it with the most genuine moment when we ended the tour with a delicious local drink (ask for "Pirlo"! You won't be disappointed!) in a super authentic local bar. We felt we were locals for all the time we toured this great city. Thank you Chiara! Book this tour, it will make your Italy trip!

A wonderful guide

Davide was a wonderful tour guide. We toured with him both in Verona and he met us in a Bergamo. He is knowledgeable, personable and knows how to read his audience. I would recommend him to anyone touring the North and he also works in Rome.
