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!

Hugh 12 May 2026

Our host was Nicola. Communication prior to our experience was excellent and he arrived at our hotel on-time. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and his English was very good. We very much enjoyed walking around the centre of Bologna and now have a good understanding of the history and key places to visit. We were very happy with this experience. Thank you Nicola.

Jenny 12 May 2026

Diego was an absolutely fantastic guide. He was friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable. It was terrific to have a local’s aspect. He took us to places that we would never have found on our own. A perfect way to get your bearings on the first day. Thanks Diego!

J
Jeanne 10 May 2026

We did a three-hour Hidden Gems walking tour in Bologna with our guide, Cristiano, and it was excellent. We explored all around the city and learned so much about the history, architecture, and culture of Bologna. Cristiano did a fantastic job bringing the city to life, including showing us great historical pictures of the many towers that once stood throughout Bologna, which really helped us visualize how different the city looked centuries ago. What we appreciated most was that this wasn’t just a surface-level tour. We walked away with a much deeper understanding of the city and also discovered places, shops, and areas we absolutely would have missed on our own — including several we went back to later. Cristiano was knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to spend time with. A great guide, and we would definitely tour with him again. Much better than a large group tour!

D
Debra 11 May 2026

In after thought we should have booked for a longer tour. Antonio was great with the history, but it left us with little time to explore things like food and art. Antonio is a wealth of knowledge regarding Bologna and was a gracious host even when the skies opened up and poured rain down on us.

It was very different than what we expected but in a good way. To have 3 hours with a personal guide was invaluable. We would never have been able to duplicate on our own.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
