Guiseppe came to our BandB to meet us. He is knowledgeable and very personable. The pace and the subjects covered were according to our preferences. We enjoyed it very much.

Lisa 23 December 2025

We had great time on our tour. Andrea, our guide, was very friendly and informative. He told us many stories of the history of Bologna. We visited several markets including the Christmas Market. I definitely recommend this tour.

Angela 8 December 2025

My local host was great and super prepared for everything. It was hard to meet my very demanding requests, since I've lived in Bologna for over 20 years, but Lorenza was able to satisfy my requests. I discovered places in Bologna and Christmas traditions I didn't know about! Thanks a lot

Indira provided me with 5 hours of shopping to suit my specific needs. She also gave me the historical background of the area. Indira contacted me months in advance so that she could plan our shopping excursion to make the most of our time. I would highly recommend Indira as a guide.

Mary Catherine 15 September 2025

Indira was a fabulous guide! I really appreciated the fact that she contacted me months ahead of the tour. This enabled us to create a perfect schedule for shopping. During our shopping excursion, Indira shared many interesting historical facts about the area. I would definitely have Indira as my guide on another tour.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

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 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 see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

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.
