Claudio is a great guide for history culture and insider information on anything you might be interested in.

John_S, Sep 2023

From start to finish our first day in Bologna could not have been better thanks to our tour guide Claudio. He gave us a great overview of the city, shared history , local culture and gave us a great list of restaurants, jazz clubs, museums and special events. . He helped us with reservations with an amazing restaurant we never would have found otherwise! Claudio made our short time in Bologna fantastic!. We feel we now know the city well, thanks to him. We will definitely come back to Bologna again!

Excellent guide!

We had a great and really enjoyed meeting Alberto. He was knowledgeable and super nice. An excellent overview of the city, gave us ideas for things to explore in more depth.

Fabulous tour

Hollie_P, Dec 2022

Claudio was by far the nicest tour guide we've had in our 8 days of exploring Italy and all of them have been lovely people! He was extremely accommodating and showed us the highlights of Bologna and explained a lot of the area's history. He's a very talented musician so we left not only with wonderful memories of Bologna but also with beautiful music we can listen to at home via his band's website (oceanina.com). We've been listening to it on the train rides to other cities and it's perfect background for the beautiful Italian countryside! We spent less than 24 hours in Bologna but between Mattia and his Delicious Food tour and Claudio with his private kickstarter tour, we felt we saw all the important sites and experiences the best the city has to offer!
