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!

My reviews

    Our tour was great! Nicola was very knowledgeable and easy going. It was very rainy and he changed something’s to keep us drier but it don’t affect the tour we received. Would highly recommend!!

    Nicola was great!! He was very knowledgeable of the area and history of the area. He was very easy going. Our weather was not great- lots of rain and changed things to keep us dry.

    Nicola was an excellent tour guide - helpful, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed our two-hour guided tour of Bologna enormously and learned a lot about the city.

    Nicola was outstanding in every way. He has an outgoing, warm personality and truly cared for us throughout the day. He not only showed us all the best of Bologna, but ensured we learned all the extra details that enriched the experience even more. Last, but certainly not least, he made dinner reservations, at Cesari, for us to experience an authentic Bolognese family and meal. WOW, it was GREAT!!! Thank you very much!
