Hi there! Nice to meet you

Can't wait to take you to Ravenna, Modena, Bologna and Ferrara!! I speak English, French, Spanish and ltalian. I'm British by nationality with an Italian mother. I was born in France and grew up in the UK and Luxembourg. I studied history and Spanish at Middlesex University in London. I moved to Naples in 2003 and then I moved to Jesi in the Marche region in 2005 before moving to Casalecchio in 2007 to work as an English teacher and translator.

Italian culture is infinitely captivating and I feel very lucky to live in Bologna, a city with an incredible heritage. I love studying local and regional history, art, architecture and traditions and I decided to take the tour guide exam to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with as many people as possible. I am well informed of the political scene in Bologna of the 70s, thus being able to illustrate it through guided tours. I welcome all types of users, equiping myself for people with special needs such as the disabled, always happy to be able to offer a unique experience. I love meeting new people and I love Emilia Romagna very much and each city in this region is uniquely fascinating with its specific culture and history. I love taking people on Bologna the Learned tours, the city of the first European university.

We did a very tasty and interesting food tour with Stephanie. She really knows the hidden gems. Besides food, she also knows a lot about the history of Bologna and Italy in general. She responded very quickly before we met. We have had a great afternoon in Bologna! Great food tour, friendly guide!

Thanks to Stephanie for sharing Bologna’s history with us. She is a great guide and a very pleasant person to be with. I would approach her again on my next visit to Bologna. I was really sorry to find out that the organsation takes almost 40% of the paid price. Stephanie is a great guide

Stephanie provided our small group of four a wonderful, informative and lovely tour of the historic center of Bologna. She provided a wealth of information on the history of the city and gave us time to absorb the culture and beauty of the buildings and life of Bologna. We experienced the beauty of the churches , the experience of the university and history of the rooms including the classroom for the autopsies and study of the cadavers, the art and architecture. Stephanie was engaging, kind and informative. We would highly recmommend her tour. A memorable time in Bologna

Stephanie war sehr charmant - gutes Französisch und stark in Geschichtszahlen und kennt die wichtigen Monumente sehr gut. Etwas weniger kann "der Alltag" - wie leben wir heute in Bologna zur Geltung. Werde Stehpanie aber auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen oder wieder selber buchen. Dank und Gruss aus Bern/Schweiz Gruppe Enzo Gabi

Stephanie took the time to understand our backgrounds and tailored our experience accordingly. She shared her comprehensive knowledge of Bologna past and present with us. We learned volumes about the past of the city along with some very humorous anecdotes. We invited her to have lunch with us where she generously continued to share her knowledge of Italy and Europe. We would highly recommend her as a private tour guide. Bologna in context

We spent a super morning with Stephanie walking round the centre of Bologna - it was a great introduction to a fabulous city. She took it at a lovely relaxed pace - but we still seemed to cover a lot of ground. We have one more day we can spend here before heading off to our next place, and she has left us with plenty things to go and see or return to. Many thanks. Introduction to Bologna
