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
A wonderful tour that will allow you to discover the most iconic places of this amazing city. Join me and let me transport you back to the Middle Ages, to the time when the university was founded. Learn historical tales of the shrewdness of some Popes that made it possible for us to admire these enchanting places. Find out why Bologna has so many porticoes and why it was once called "turrita" - the city full of towers - or the reason for the nicknames "the fat, the learned and the red one". Take in all the sights and sounds the city of Bologna has to offer! I always love to include something special in my tours, this being certain places or little known details about them that remain out of the ordinary, that will impress you and that you will always keep in your heart. So if you want to discover Bologna with different eyes - the eyes of a local - you cannot miss this experience!
