Ciao a tutti! My name is Gabriele, and I am your trusty local host from the beautiful city of Bologna. I'm the kind of guy who can make a stranger feel like family in no time, and I'll go above and beyond to ensure you have the best time possible. When I'm not busy showing off my city, you can find me riding my bike, hiking up to the San Luca Sanctuary, or exploring new places. My true passion is discovering hidden gems in Bologna, and as your local host, I promise to take you to all the best spots in the neighborhoods of Saragozza, Quadrilatero, and via del Pratello. I know these areas like the back of my hand; I'm a total expert when it comes to food markets, typical restaurants, and sports culture. From the portici and their historical architecture to the delicious and authentic flavors of food, and the hills for the beautiful view and the feeling of being close to nature, there is so much to see and do in my beautiful city. So, let's explore Bologna together and make some unforgettable memories!

Gabriel’s was a fantastic tour guide! He showed us so many highlights of Bologna, and he also made sure to take us everywhere we wanted to go. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and he answered all of our questions. We are American, and his English was excellent! He also gave us great recommendations for places to eat, things to do, etc. At the end of our tour, he walked us to a restaurant we had seen earlier that we wanted to go to. I highly recommend this private tour with Gabriele!

A delightful tour of Bologna given by Gabriele whose pride and passion for his home town shone through . He was friendly and informative and led the tour at a lovely pace giving us opportunity to ask questions on the way . He advised us of a great place for lunch ( Simoni ) and have further suggestions for meals during our stay . It was the perfect start to the city break because it gave us the chance to get to know the City . We would not hesitate in recommending this tour - especially if you get Gabriele as your guide .
