Overview

Are you curious to discover the stories and traditions of the city of Bologna from a more mysterious and secret point of view?
This is the tour for you.
It is a private walking tour of about two hours where we will discover many hidden corners and fun details through the most famous places in the historic center.
Secrets are officially 7 but you will see at the end of the tour that we will discover many others more!

You can customize this tour, including some extensions or visits to some points of interest outside the main track.

I'm a freelance tour guide and often collaborate with many different organizations during the season, so my calendar may not be fully updated.
For every eventuality I recommend sending me a direct message so I can respond promptly and best organize your tour.
