Hi, I’m Diego
Hi, I’m Diego
I’ve lived in Bologna for 29 years
I speak English, Italian, Portuguese and some Spanish
I am tour leader (accompagnatore turistico)
Ciao! I'm Diego – your go-to Bologna buddy with a love for food, fun facts, and finding the best bubble tea spots in town. I’m all about wandering the city’s colorful streets, rain or shine (thank you, porticos!), and sharing the quirky secrets that make Bologna unforgettable. Whether we’re chatting over coffee in the University District or strolling down Via Rizzoli, I’ll show you the tasty side of the city and the stories hiding in plain sight. From La Montagnola to Piazza Malpighi, I know where the good stuff is – and I can’t wait to share it with you, one bite (and laugh) at a time!

We booked the tour for 4h as a group of 4 people. Diego - our guide - did a great job in showing us some of the hidden places combined with historical and cultural highlights, background and several insights to the local food and cuisine. He answered our questions, recommended great places for drinks and dinner and was very flexibel with respects to our whishes and requests. In general, we had a wonderful time in a relaxed atmosphere with Diego and will look forward to another tour when we come back to Bologna.
