Hallo everyone! My name is Marta and I have been working as a tour guide for the last 7 years, after extended professional activity in languages and literature. I was born in the wonderful region of Umbria, but my curiosity and desire of continuous movement pushed me to Emilia Romagna, which has long become my home of choice. I feel privileged now because I do a job that allows me to meet people from different backgrounds, to spend time with them and to share the love for my territory with them. If you want to visit enchanting places, join me: I will unveil fascinating spots of Bologna and Ravenna for you, which often remain hidden to most visitors. I will guide you through places and experiences that will make your visit unforgettable: Getting lost in the streets of the ghetto, savoring the specialties in the lively and picturesque streets of the Quadrilatero, admiring the frescoes of the small Bolognese "Sistine Chapel", being amazed in front of the mosaics of Ravenna and more. Please note that our tour can be designed by you: You can indeed adjust it to your own needs and interests, defining its duration and giving it the focus you prefer (artistic, culinary or experience-driven). I am looking forward to meeting you! Licensed Tour Guide from the Emilia Romagna region. Licensed tour leader. BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures (German and English). I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Bologna tour
An artistic tour in Bologna is something that you definely don't want to miss! On this guided tour we'll admire the area of Piazza Maggiore, the heart of the city, surrounded by impressive buildings that hide stories and anecdotes that truly are worth telling. The beautiful Basilica of San Petronio with its singular facade, its celebratory chapels and its incredible sundial is certainly a must see. We'll admire the Chapel of the Magi and its exquisite frescoes up close. A few steps away are a one-of-a-kind work of art, the "Mourning Over the Dead Christ" and Bologna's "Sistine Chapel". The city is home to a very prestigious ancient University, whose first seat is a real jewel full of coats of arms and frescoes. It houses one of the richest and most interesting anatomical theaters of the past: A visit here is definitely an experience not to be missed, not to mention a visit in the most evocative corner of the city, Piazza Santo Stefano and its complex of "seven churches". Embark on this tour with me!
