An orientation walk shaped by a questionnaire you fill in after booking, pointed at the streets, the university city and the places locals use daily rather than a monument checklist, with your own choice of length and start time. It is on foot with no vehicle, and food, drinks and any tickets are yours. 4.85 from 34 reviews at €66 per person.
Bologna is often known for its food and historic center, but much of what defines the city is found in the details of its streets, its long academic history, and the places locals return to every day. With a local host, this experience focuses on these elements, offering a clearer understanding of how the city has developed and how it is experienced today.
Your experience is fully personalized, shaped around your interests, pace, and curiosity. Whether you are interested in food culture, history, or lesser-known parts of the city, your host will design a route that reflects what matters most to you and adjust it as you explore together.
After booking, you will receive a short online questionnaire to share your preferences. Your host will then reach out to plan your experience, ensuring it is thoughtful, flexible, and grounded in genuine local knowledge.
