Ciao! I'm Nicola, your go-to guide for all things Bologna – a city that sits at the crossroads of Italy and, honestly, at the crossroads of my many passions too! Some say Bologna never sleeps, but I think it just can't get enough of its vibrant music, culture, and, well... pasta. While I pride myself on my profound knowledge of Bologna's rich cultural tapestry and its sumptuous food history, it's the city's bustling social hubs I can't resist! I've got a local's eye for the best spots and an open heart ready to make new friends. So, if you're looking to experience Bologna with a pinch of humor and a dollop of authenticity, let's take a walk and talk!

    Nikola was amazing and it didn’t even feel like a tour. It felt like visiting an old friend and they took us around their city!

    Our tour in Bologna with Nicola was absolutely wonderful! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of passion for his city. We had an almost 80-year-old in our group, and Nicola was incredibly considerate—setting a comfortable pace and making sure everyone was included. His stories brought Bologna’s history and culture to life, and his warm personality made the experience unforgettable.

    Nicola was an amazing guide with a background in the history of this fascinating city! He was clearly enthusiastic about his subject matter and took us to see both highlights and hidden gems of Bologna. He even shared some websites with us so that we could further explore the history of the city. We liked the fact that we could tell him in advance about our interests and he was more than happy to accommodate our requests.
