Hi, I’m Claudio, your local host in Bologna! What I love most about this city is how it brings together history, culture, and a lively community spirit. In my free time, I enjoy playing music in the streets, cycling through hidden neighborhoods, or jogging in the city’s beautiful parks. I also love exploring traditional restaurants, savoring local dishes, and enjoying aperitifs with friends at cozy spots around town. Bologna’s live music scene is another passion of mine, from small gigs to energetic concerts—it’s a big part of what makes this city so vibrant. Whether it’s discovering hidden corners on a bike ride, indulging in local flavors, or experiencing the city’s creative energy, I’ll make sure your visit feels personal, fun, and truly unforgettable. Let’s explore Bologna together!

Claudio did a fantastic job listening to us and crafting a fun and informative excursion around Bologna. We loved both the personalized recommendations and the list he provided for us. He also did a fantastic job fielding my nerdy architectural and construction questions about the local architecture and development. We have already booked another tour in Florence because of our experience with Claudio.

Claudio's English was great. He is a wonderful person overall, and was very knowledgeable on all the aspects of Bologna that we asked about. His walking itinerary was perfect...we felt like we knew the city, its people and its history, which really enriched our trip to Bologna. Bravo Claudio!

Claudio was wonderful. He gives a thoughtful tour of Bologna with small and big details. He knows the history of the University and city well. He showed me where the best food spots were. I had THE BEST pasta I have had in my life there!!!
