Guide #49423

Hi Everyone, nice to meet you! I'm Cecilia, and I live in Bologna (northern Italy) with my family. I've been a licensed Tour Manager since 2016 and a certified National Art Guide since September 2026 (registration n. 99001231). I've studied accountancy and worked in corporate offices for more than 30 years, but I love traveling and meeting people of different cultures. Hence, in my fifties, I decided to change my life and do what I've always loved doing for my friends when they come to Italy to meet me: have fun together going around here! I'm very empathetic and love to establish friendly relationships with all my travelers. I always keep in mind my favorite quote from Maya Angelou: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. " I love to offer tourists authentic experiences in my region, trying to make the most of their time here and customizing their itineraries per request! My tours are mainly focused on food and wine because Emilia-Romagna is the land of gastronomy, and I also like cooking, eating well, and choosing the best products to prepare all my dishes! I can't wait to show you around Emilia-Romagna and Italy! Accountancy Degree and Import/Export certification; Marketing Master's Degree. Vast experience traveling around Italy, Europe, the USA, Canada, Asia, and South America. Professional Tour Manager with almost a decade of experience. - I'm an art guide too, so in case you want to stay a few days in BOLOGNA and visit the center of Florence, Milan, or other small hamlets in the area, I will be more than pleased to build for you a personalised itinerary for more than one day. - Private cars and professional car drivers are available depending on the number of people and the service required.

    My group had a fantastic tour with Cecilia in Modena! Before we made our decision, Cecilia provided me with all the useful information I needed. From the very beginning, I had a feeling that she would deliver a wonderful experience for my group, and she certainly did! My group praised her for being a knowledgeable guide with an excellent understanding of local history...

    We took a day trip to San Marino and had a guided tour of the city with a Tours By Locals couple that we met up with in Bologna after taking an early morning train there from Florence. Cecilia and Eddie were very nice and we struck up a friendship with them over the course of the journey, Cecilia was our guide and fluent in several languages. They had been to Flagstaff...

    Dear Brian, thanks so much for the review! It has been a pleasure spending the day with you in Rimini and San Marino.
