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 was an excellent tour guide. He was able to show us the highlights of bologna and set my wife for further exploration after the tour. To top off an excellent tour Claudio helped us set an unbelievable lunch reservation which is hard to get on a Saturday. Thanks again claudio!

We were very fortunate to have Claudio as our guide. He listened to what we wanted and planned the perfect walking tour, blending history, culture and contemporary lifestyle and giving us great recommendations for coffee, gelato and restaurants. Claudio is highly informed and clearly loves Bologna. The hours we spent with him were an ideal introduction to the city and helped us to feel oriented for the rest of our stay. The day after our tour I texted Claudio to say I had lost my scarf at dinner the previous evening and he immediately phoned the restaurant for me. All three of us would highly recommend a walking tour with Claudio.

Our Balogna tour guide was Claudio Natale who was a sensational guide. He gave as a thorough sense of the city and deepened our understanding of the history and culture of Balogna! His English is perfect. It was a busy and rewarding tour. I highly recommend Claudio as a guide.
