Hi, I'm Giulia, a local host in Bologna, and I’m thrilled to share my love for this city with you! Bologna holds a special place in my heart, not just for its incredible history and architecture but for the spirit of its people. One of my favorite spots is the university district, where you can find writings and heartfelt messages left by students once they've completed their studies. I also love escaping to the green hills surrounding Bologna. From there, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the city while embracing the tranquility of nature. When I’m in the city, I often sit on the steps of San Petronio, listening to street artists sing traditional Italian songs or exploring the vibrant street markets for handmade crafts. I am passionate about sharing Bologna’s student life, fascinating history, iconic monuments, and local food with visitors. Whether you're here to learn, explore, or simply enjoy, I’d love to be your go-to for discovering the magic of Bologna!

Giulia was an excellent guide. She has great knowledge of the city, is kind, and showed us all the things we were interested in seeing. It was a great way to learn about Bologna and get a lay of the land - we can’t wait to come back and explore more time in Bologna now! Thanks Giulia!

Giulia was our guide for a walking tour of Bologna. She was very personable and friendly. She explained what we would see and then described each area of the city to us as we walked. She was aware of our preferences (fewer stairs) and guided us around them. At the end of the tour, she showed us to a very nice restaurant.
