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!

We were in Bologna for a few days visiting a university student and booked a tour with Claudio for the last day. It was fantastic and would have been really helpful to do early in our visit. The tour was perfectly crafted based on the interests we expressed. The guide really listened to what we wanted, had excellent knowledge of the area and a strong command of the English language. He was well prepared with recommendations and suggestions and we felt like insiders!

We were visiting our daughter studying in Bologna and decided to book a personalized tour of the city. Claudio was fantastic! He listened well to what we wanted and tailored the time towards our interests. He was super well prepared with recommendations and a wealth of knowledge on all subjects Bologna from history to architecture to local culture and music. We experienced nooks and crannies of the city we never would have come across on our own. Wish we would have done this tour at the start of our stay to glean from all the recommendations Claudio provided. After this experience we immediately booked a similar tour in Florence.

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.
