Hi I'm Claudia! I was born in Bolzano - South Tyrol (Italy), but have also lived for over a decade in the United States. I have 15+ years in the travel industry and since 2017 I'm a licensed tour guide with experience that ranges from the US to Europe. Following my experience as a Tour Guide in the States, I moved back to Bolzano and opened my company and since I'm passionate about food & wine it was pretty clear that the focus of my tours would be to offer unique eno-gastronomical experiences in Bolzano and South Tyrol. I am also very passionate about our history and culture and therefore I also offer cultural and historical walks & tours. I love to introduce to travelers my city, my region, its controversial history and culture, all through our unique and diverse food and wine traditions. There's nothing better than food to tell a story about a place! What I like about my customers, is to see that at the end of my tours, wether is a food or a cultural tour, they are happy, intrigued and that they've discovered a deeper interest in the area. All of my tours and services mentioned here can be customized to your needs. I look forward to meeting you and showing this beautiful part of Italy, as I a usually say, a tasting at a time!

On this tour you'll get the chance to experience the city through its diverse gastronomy and culture. Nothing better than food tells a story about a place! I'll take you to popular places with locals - and where I go! -, off the beaten path spots, to really give you the opportunity to soak into our way of eating, drinking and ultimately of living! Between tastings and admiring the historical center and its major sights, I'll fill you in on the town's history as well as what Bolzano has become today. All tastings, 5 in total, are traditional foods, produced by local businesses, representing with authenticity our town and South Tyrol. South Tyrolean Food is traditionally not vegan friendly, however if advised well in advance I can adjust the tastings with vegetarian options. Please let me know of any special requests you might have. From the end of November to the beginning of January, I run the tour in the afternoon with an included visit to the Christmas Market. Tastings will also reflects the seasonality.

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Our guide, Claudia B., was incredible. She was bright, personable, and her depth of knowledge was amazing. She was almost instantly able to "size up" our group of four people and customize the tour to our needs. We all felt as if we were visiting with a friend and the conversation was enjoyable and informing. When we were done touring, we all continued to walk the town and felt very comfortable thanks to her expert tips on "where to go and what to eat"!! Thank you Claudia!
Claudia is a fantastic tour guide. We experienced unique food from this unique area. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and people of Sud Tyrol. It was a pleasure to spend the morning with her. We recommend a tour with her when you first arrive here so that your time here will be spent with a better appreciation for the whole area including culture and history. Plus she has a winning personality!
Claudia was a delight and so knowledgeable about the history of the area. My husband and I had a wonderful time, we would highly recommend Claudia. She gave us a very up close and personal look at Bolzano and we enjoyed it very much.
I chose a private tour with Claudia. We discussed history, food, linguistics and more. Beforehand, she confirmed our meeting time and place and was punctual. I was in the area to do hiking. My tour with Claudia was a fabulous introduction to Bolzano. I felt very comfortable with the town and its personality after my tour. Of course, we shared local foods & wines - My favorite, Gewurtztraminer, I learned is grown in the region. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to this part of Italy.
The tour thoroughly exceeded our expectations. We all (7 of us) appreciated Claudia's flexibility and willingness to merge the Food and City tour into one package, and couldn't have gotten a better introduction to Bolzano. We also couldn't have asked for a more competent and knowledgeable guide, who spoke excellent American English. The pace of the tour was just right as well. We also welcomed the opportunity to interact socially with Claudia and learn about her experiences.
