About local Stephanie
8 June 2025
Stephanie is a great 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.

About local Marco

Marco was great

We have a nice two hour tour with Marco - very knowledgeable and colorful fellow who helped us find some excellent local spots, including date some great foods and answered our questions and did a great job showing us around. We even got to try rolling tortellini which is a bit tricky ! We recommend Marco.

About local Margherita
30 May 2025
Fantastic

Margherita is great! She’s very knowledgeable and was everything we could have hoped for in a guide. She tailored the morning to our interests but also took us to places we would never have thought of! It makes a big difference to be able to spend time with a local and talk about what it’s really like to live in a place. Thanks Margherita.
