Hi! I'm Giulia, I'm a certified Tour Leader and Italian language teacher. I came to Bologna to complete my studies some years ago and I immediately fell in love with this city! Bologna holds a special place in my heart: not only it is a nice city with many historical buildings, but it is its warm and welcoming people that makes it unique. This openness towards foreigners is related to the old university, that still today attracts many people from outside the city (including me!). You can have a taste of this in the university district, whose walls display plenty of heartfelt messages left by students once they've completed their studies. Another great feature of Bologna is the possibility of escaping the traffic of the city centre thanks to the close hills. There you can enjoy the quietness of nature and some beautiful views. Some of my favourite ways of spending my free time are precisely taking a walk in the hills or, if I feel lazier, sitting on the steps of San Petronio church to listen to street artists playing. I am passionate about sharing Bologna’s friendly vibes, fascinating history and local food with visitors. Having travelled a lot, I know that exploring a new place with a local is a completely different experience, so I am enthusiastic to share with you my love for the city and to allow you to appreciate all of it! Me llamo Giulia y soy tour líder certificada y profesora de italiano. Me mudé a Bologna hace un par de años para completar mis estudios y me enamoré enseguida de la ciudad. Estoy feliz de compartir con ustedes los secretos que he descubierto y sigo descubriendo sobre esta maravillosa ciudad! Je m’appelle Giulia et je suis tour leader et professeur d’italien. Je suis venue à Bologna il y a quelques années pour compléter mes études et je suis tombée amoureuse de cette ville dès le premier jour. Je suis heureuse de partager avec vous les secrets que j’ai découverts et que je continue à découvrir sur cette merveilleuse ville!

I’m a certified Tour Leader in Emilia Romagna and with me, you can discover the original charm and lively character of the fascinating cities of this region like Bologna and Ferrara, get insider stories, and discover hidden gems and local markets. If it's true that the place where we are born says so much about us, then Bologna and generally my region Emilia Romagna represent my best business card. I love good food, good company and traditions, but at the same time, I consider myself a curious globetrotter. This last aspect has led me to explore different cultures, languages, and countries: I've lived in Estonia, Spain, Germany, and Canada at different stages of my life. I keep unique memories of each of those places, because I have been fortunate enough to share my experiences with locals, and I acknowledge how this aspect can make a visit unique.

In 2017 I left my job as an export assistant in a Company in my Region because I love showing people around my Region and speaking English. I had 30 years of experience in the export field but I didn't care because I love all-new challenges and I'm not worried about changes. I'm really passionate about food and this is why I offer food and wine tours of my area.
