About Tour Guide Nicola B.
Hi, I’m Nicola!
I’m an art historian, storyteller, and passionate tour guide originally from the charming village of Panzano in Chianti, Tuscany. Since 2013, I’ve been turning my love for art, culture, and beautiful places into unforgettable experiences for travelers. A few years ago, life brought me and my family to Bern, Switzerland — and now I’m lucky enough to call both Tuscany and Switzerland home.
For me, being a guide isn’t just about pointing out landmarks. It’s about sharing joy, connecting with people, and creating meaningful, authentic moments together. Whether we're exploring the medieval streets of Bern, the vineyards of Chianti, or a hidden gem you won’t find in guidebooks, my goal is to help you feel the soul of a place.
I’ve even started my own travel agency to bring these personal, memorable experiences to life — always with a big smile, plenty of stories, and maybe a good glass of wine along the way!
I’d love to show you around and help create memories you’ll carry home with you. See you soon on the road!
Nicola
