Hi there! I'm Lorenza, a local host in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy. I'm friendly, trustworthy, open-minded, enthusiastic, and positive, and I absolutely love my city! To me, Bologna is the perfect balance between a small, friendly village and a bustling capital, and I'm always excited to share its beauty with others. My favorite things to do in the city include walking under the 40 km portico, discovering new neighborhoods beyond the city walls, and trying new restaurants (the food here is just excellent!). I'm exceptionally knowledgeable about downtown Bologna and Bolognina, and I have a real passion for my city's history and local culture. Whether you're looking for a friendly local host or just someone to chat with about the best places to visit in Bologna, I'm here for you! I can't wait to show you why I love this city so much.

My reviews

Lorenza hat uns einen tollen Einblick in die Stadt Bologna ermöglicht. Von oben, von unten und auch hinter den Kulissen konnten wir dank Lorenza die Stadt aus einer ganz anderen Perspektive kennen und lieben lernen. Lorenza ist eine aufgeweckte, aufmerksame, „fühlige„ und pragmatische Stadtführerin. Man spürt die Leidenschaft für ihre Heimatstadt, welche sie uns mit einem hohen Fachwissen, mit tollen Anektoten und einem gewissen Schalk näher gebracht hat. Wir würden Lorenza uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen schon dank ihrer angenehmen Persönlichkeit. DANKE LORENZA ! Lorenza gave us a great insight into the city of Bologna. Thanks to Lorenza, we were able to get to know and love the city from above, below and also behind the scenes from a completely different perspective. Lorenza is a bright, attentive, sensitive and pragmatic city guide. You can feel the passion for her hometown, which she brought to us with a high level of specialist knowledge, great anecdotes and a certain mischief. We would recommend Lorenza without reservation, thanks to her pleasant personality. THANK YOU LORENZA!

Lorenza reached out b4 the trip and arranged to meet at our hotel which was great! She was very informative & entertaining. The 3 hour walk passed very fast. She brought us to the side streets away from the crowds which was great. Was a great walking tour. Highly recommend.

We had a great time with Lorenza. She is a native of Bologna and gave us a wonderful tour of the city center including the Anatomy theater. We would recommend this tour without reservations.

We had a great 1/2 day with Lorenza. She provided an insider’s point of view from someone that knows Bologna so well. The visit to the anatomy theater and the library were very informative.
