Hello! I’m Frederik, an Italian-Danish artist and certified tour leader, born and raised in Bologna. With a passion for creativity, culture, and cuisine, I love sharing the soul of my city in a way that’s both personal and inspiring. I focus on the small details and hidden gems that most people miss — from quiet alleyways full of stories to local food spots rich in tradition. My tours are a unique blend of storytelling, art, and music, capturing the layered spirit of Bologna. If you’re looking to discover the city through fresh eyes, with a mix of history, flavor, and artistic flair — I’d love to walk with you!

Tour description

Discover Bologna through its flavors, stories and symbols, seen through the eyes of someone who lives it every day.

On this free tour, I will take you through the lively heart of the city: the narrow streets of the Quadrilatero, the ancient porticoes and the most authentic places linked to Bologna's rich gastronomic tradition.

We'll explore historic shops, markets, and curious corners, where food tells the story of the land better than any book.

This is not a typical guided tour, but a relaxed stroll among friends.

I'll show you hidden symbols, curious anecdotes, and small details that most people overlook when they walk by.

Bologna must be experienced slowly, with curious eyes… and the right appetite.

I will help you during your stay in Bologna by giving you useful tips on what to see and where to eat.

If there are no more spots available, don't worry, just write to me and I'll try to find a place for you or work something out. I'm flexible and always happy to welcome you and have a good time.
