Hi there! I'm Lorenza, a local host in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy. I'm friendly, trustworthy, open-minded, enthusiastic, and positive, and I absolutely love my city! To me, Bologna is the perfect balance between a small, friendly village and a bustling capital, and I'm always excited to share its beauty with others. My favorite things to do in the city include walking under the 40 km portico, discovering new neighborhoods beyond the city walls, and trying new restaurants (the food here is just excellent!). I'm exceptionally knowledgeable about downtown Bologna and Bolognina, and I have a real passion for my city's history and local culture. Whether you're looking for a friendly local guide or just someone to chat with about the best places to visit in Bologna, I'm here for you! I can't wait to show you why I love this city so much.

Lorenza our guide had an incredible knowledge. Her love for her city showed through in our tour of the city. Could not have asked for more.

We really enjoyed our Bologna food tour with Simoni Lorenza. We tasted all types of local foods while walking through the city (and learning about its history). We enjoyed it so much that we scheduled another tour with her - a day trip to a Parmesan factory and a balsamic vinegar house. I highly recommend!
