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.
Cristiano was a wonderful guide! He was flexible with the meeting place so we were able to meet him closer to the train station. We were a bit hungry and wanted to see what Bologna had to offer in ways of food and Cristiano was completely on board, bringing us to a wonderful sandwich shop which had the best mortadella panini's! We were able to get a feel for the local flavor and really enjoyed the experience.

We only had one day to experience Bologna and this tour was the perfect way to start the day. Our guide Cristiano did a great job communicating in advance and he was charming, informative, funny and deeply knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bologna. The 3-hour tour was done at a perfect pace and we saw quite a bit of the city and got recommendations for additional highlights that we were able to return to later in the day/evening. Overall a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bologna for the first time.
