Modena
Where balsamic vinegar ages for decades, Ferraris roar, and Pavarotti's voice still echoes.

Beatrice
Venice, Treviso +4
Hey! I'm Beatrice. I come from Treviso, a little gem just outside Venice. I love trekking in the Dolomites, swimming in mountain lakes, and exploring new places. I work as a travel co-ordinator and I love exploring. Food is definitely my Achilles’ heel, I just can’t resist it! Especially Tiramisù (that was invented in my beautiful city: Treviso). I’m deeply in love with my region, Veneto, and I’m always happy to share it with others (because there’s so much more than just Venice). That said, even in Venice I know some hidden gems that are absolutely worth discovering 😉 Whether it’s uncovering hidden natural spots, planning outdoor adventures, or diving into local traditions, I love creating genuine, memorable experiences that go beyond the usual tourist paths.
Elisabeth
Bologna, Naples +2
Hi, I’m Elisabeth. I live in Italy and I’ve always been deeply connected to the rhythms of everyday life here—slow walks through historic streets, good food shared without rush, and small details that most travellers might miss. I love exploring places both like a local and like a curious outsider: from hidden cafés and traditional bakeries to quiet corners where you can really feel the atmosphere of a city. I’ve spent a lot of time discovering how to enjoy Italian life in a balanced, authentic way—whether that means finding the right spot for a relaxed meal, a scenic walk, or simply a peaceful moment away from the crowds. I’m especially drawn to culture, storytelling, and traditions, particularly from southern Italy, so I naturally bring a more emotional and immersive perspective to travel. If you’re looking to experience a place beyond the typical tourist path, I’ll help you see it with different eyes.
Isadora
Bologna, Modena +3
5.0(2)Born and raised in Bologna (with a few adventurous years spent in the United Kingdom and travelling all aorund the world), I know my region inside out, from the iconic landmarks you absolutely shouldn’t miss to the hidden corners most visitors walk straight past. I also know how tricky it can be to find the right balance: you want to see the highlights, of cours, but you also want to experience something real, personal, and memorable. That’s exactly where I come in. After several years working as an event producer in Bologna and abroad, I learned how to design experiences: atmosphere, storytelling, timing, emotion, those are the “secret ingredients” I would like to bring to your vacation. Combining your passions and mine to build something that fits you perfectly — like a tailor-made experience. Art, wine, food, history, contemporary culture… we can mix and match to create something that feels natural, inspiring, and very “you”. As a licensed local guide, I know what people look for when visiting my region, so you won’t miss the essentials. But we’ll also go beyond them, discovering the local scene in a way that feels authentic and, possibly, slightly unexpected.
Francesca
Bologna, Ravenna +6
5.0(4)👋 Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Francesca, I live in a small town in the province of Ravenna. I speak English and French. 🎨 I'm an art expert because of my two degrees in Cultural Heritage and Visual Arts at the University of Bologna, where I've lived during my studies. I've lived it with a student life's eyes (pubs, restaurants, places to have fun, listen to some music, dance...) but also because I love art I've explored museums, art galleries, history, traditions, culture and more. ✈️ After University I decided to take a break and I've moved to Canada where I've lived for more than one year, then I came back to become a Travel Designer thanks to a course in Milan. 🧳 This year I got my Tour Guide certificate with the goal to guide families, groups of friends or couples during their travels to show them more than they expect!
