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!

    This tour was very enjoyable. We saw most of the historical city center. Our guide, Nicola was very knowledgeable and informative. We saw a lot of hidden places which without a guide you would probably miss. Thank you

    Nicola is so knowledgeable and did a great job showing us landmarks as well as “off the beaten path “ areas of interest. Highly recommended!

    We did a 3-hour tour of some major sights along with some hidden gems in Bologna with Nicola. Nicola was a very friendly guide with extensive knowledge of Bologna. It was our first time in Bologna and we were glad to have done the tour. At the end of the tour, Nicola gave us some recommendations on places to visit on our own, restaurants and gelateria to try. His recommendations did not disappoint! Thank you so much for the wonderful tour, Nicola.
