Ciao! I’m Cristiano, your local host here in Bologna. What I love most about this city is its vibrant, welcoming vibe - especially the mix of people from around the world who come here simply to enjoy life. From deep-orange sunsets over medieval rooftops to unforgettable local dishes, Bologna always has something special to offer. I know the city center and neighborhoods like San Vitale, San Donato, Murri, and Massarenti like the back of my hand. Whether you’re after the best food spots, nightlife, local traditions, or a bit of quirky trivia, I’ve got you covered. I bring a sense of fun and curiosity to every experience, and I’m always up for good conversation over a great meal or a hidden gem of a bar.

    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history and made everything extremely interesting. He made sure we had a great time to see all the highlights in Bologna. He also helped us with food recommendations.

    Christiano was an amazing guide. He curated a tour for us that was super interesting filled with stories and endless history. His English was perfect. It was a lot of walking but we stopped twice at a cafe for a drink and snack. It was nice to get the lay of the land so that we could easily navigate Bologna on our own in the following days we were there.

    Cristiano, our certified/licensed tour guide, was wonderful. He met us at our hotel, and we set out on our three-hour walking tour. He provided lots of insights into the city's history and landmarks, while also explaining what it's like to live in Bologna today. Cristiano's English skills are also terrific, so it was very easy to communicate with him during the tour and ask him lots of questions. Since we had limited time in Bologna, this was a great way to see the main sites in the historic city center.

    Our host, Cristiano, was very knowledgeable, interesting and definitely an experienced tourism professional. Our 2 hr walking tour was the just the right amount of time for our interests and we appreciated some of his personal insights that made the tour that much more enjoyable.
