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!
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!

Nicola was a great host from beginning to end. Very knowlegeable about history and current events! And offered all kinds of advice and plenty of things for me to do when I’m free in Bologna.

We only had one day in our travel itinerary to see Bologna, but SO glad we did. What a beautiful city! We were amazed at the history of Bologna and the knowledge of our guide and the info he shared! We put some steps in but explored so much of the city in a short time. We appreciated that he was very flexible when we changed our meeting spot at the last minute.
