About Tour Guide Barbara S.

I’m not just a tour guide: most of all, I’m a local who genuinely enjoys helping travellers discover the character of Bergamo and its surroundings.

What I love most about guiding is creating a real connection between people and places.

I don’t want my guests simply to look at monuments, I'd like they could understand the stories, people, traditions and everyday life behind what they see.

I’m naturally curious, precise and passionate about history, art, architecture and local culture. I enjoy researching, learning and uncovering details that can make a visit more interesting, unexpected and memorable.

My tours always try to combine solid historical information with anecdotes, curiosities and local insights, always in an engaging and accessible way.

I also have a strong interest in local traditions and gastronomy. As a qualified wine and cheese taster, I can add another layer to the experience when appropriate, helping guests understand how food and wine are connected to the history, landscape and identity of the area.

My tours are relaxed, personal and flexible. I adapt the experience to the interests, curiosity and pace of my guests, whether they are passionate about history, architecture, photography, landscapes, local life or simply want to discover Bergamo through the eyes of someone who knows it well.
