Ciao! Welcome to Emilia Romagna: land of beauty, culture, art, motors, wine and good food! I'm Margherita, a licensed tour guide, and I have always loved to travel discovering different cultures and visiting different cities, thanks to my parents who brought my young sister and me all over Europe. In 2009 I took a degree in Foreign Languages and Cultures at Bologna University (one of the most ancient in the World, dated 1088!), and in 2016 I decided to become a licensed tour guide, because I was fascinated by this job. Even though I was a little bit shy but after my first tour, I understood I have found what perfectly suit to me! For me, being a tour guide means discover my city through travelers' eyes, falling in love with Bologna every day a bit more, and meeting people from all over the world is a real richness and a way to discover different cultures. I love everything about being a tour guide in Bologna : the old town streets, the monuments, the Medieval towers, the Churches, the Museums, the food scents coming out from food shops or restaurants, the colors of fruits and vegetables of the market stalls. . . and all other beautiful things that a Medieval Italian city can offer! I must confess that I don't only love Bologna City but also Emilia - Romagna Region : is a place full of Culture, History, Art and food traditions. Here, there are Ravenna wonderful Byzantin mosaics, recognized by Unesco as World Heritage; here is the land where the composer Giuseppe Verdi, the singer Pavarotti and the filmmaker Federico Fellini born;Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati Factories are based here. . and don't forget the food! Bolognese Sauce, Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Parma ham, Tortellini pasta and many other specialties famous all over the World hailing from here! PS. I will gladly customize my tours, if needed. License as Tour Guide since 2016 License as Tour Leader since 2019 Degree in Foreigner Languages and Cultures since 2009 As a local qualified guide, following Italian rules, I have access to all landmarks.

    We had a very nice afternoon with Marguerite. She is a very nice, friendly woman, full of knowledge stories about Bologna. she showed us all the places of interest and gave profound information about history and Bologna’s life of today and last, but not least she gave us tips for nice restaurants and bars. As she is very humorous, we had a very funny afternoon and laughed...

    Margherita gave us a fantastic tour to the city. We were travelling with an 8 month old baby, and she was able to adapt the tour and the schedule to our baby’s needs. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable and kind. We learnt so much about the city from Margherita and it helped us appreciate aspects of Bologna’s culture for the rest of our stay.

    Margherita knows her city well and we had a great tour with her! She was engaging and kept us moving while not rushing us through all the sights. If you're looking for a great introduction to historic Bologna, Margherita is the guide for you!
