We took a private tour, so everything was geared to us. Lorenza was amazing. She contacted us before we arrived in Bologna to ask about our tastes and interests and then really personalized the 3-hour tour. We visited the city’s famous towers, learned about the city’s unique architecture, went inside the basilica and the old university buildings, and had wonderful explanations of Bologna’s culture from an insider’s perspective. We tasted balsamic vinegars (a must), visited off-the-beaten path bakeries (including gluten-free options!), and ended the tour with a wonderful lunch off the main plaza. Lorenza makes the city quite magical with her explanations of the porticos, the family vendettas, and the stories that make Bologna come to life. We also left with a list of suggestions of everything from where to eat authentic local cooking to where to get a good haircut. This is a tour I’d recommend anyone looking for insider’s knowledge of the city and/or to get your bearing when you arrive.

Did this 3-hour walking tour as soon as we arrived in Bologna. Nicola, our excellent guide, took us round the historical city , providing us with local knowledge and an interesting account of the place, the landmarks , the streets so that we know where to walk, where to go, which restaurants. A very good introduction to the historical city and thus made our stay in Bologna enjoyable.

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.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

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 to visit?

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?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.
