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 provided an excellent bespoke tour of the city, customized to our interests and pace. Very personable, charming and fun to chat with. So many things would have been missed if we were not with him. He was really knowledgeable about the city, the architecture, the history and the food scene. We tried many of his food recommendations and all were excellent. Highly recommend.

This is the way to do a tour! My cousin and I were greeted warmly by Claudio, who spent a little over 2 hours walking us all around Bologna and it's historical sites, giving us tidbits of information and history on each stop. He kindly helped with photos and we enjoyed his pleasant personality and conversation. I highly recommend this company and Claudio! Grazie mille Claudio!

Claudio was so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, kind and attentive. He covered the top 10 “must see” in tour guides and some. He personalized the tour to our wishes to include dining recommendations and the best gelato. He tried to booked dinner reservations for us but was unsuccessful being that it was a weekend and he took the time to find the bus schedule for us the next day in order to get a panoramic view of the city. You won’t be disappointed with Claudio.
