Bergamo Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

The experience was overall great. Giorgio was very knowledgeable. I recommend doing g this in the late afternoon to include sunset. I was disappointed that the boat was not a traditional wooden boat that you see on the lake. What made it more tacky, is that they applied fake wood to make it look like the others.

Bergamo is a gem, interesting and a reprieve from busy Milan. The citta alta is beautiful with so many churches and tiny winding streets to explore. Alma was our private guide, she was knowledgeable about Bergamo and lovely company.

Michele and his wife were wonderful! We took our time making pasta and drinking wine all while having fun conversation and listening to music. His home is nice and cozy and Michele is very knowledgeable in history and Italys culture. Would definitely do it again!

Georgio was an amazing tour guide and an absolute inspiration pleasure to meet. Highly recommend.

On the first day of our visit to Bergamo, we had four unforgettable hours with Chiara. She is a language coach/teacher and charming native of Bergamo, and combines real life Italian language learning with experiencing this UNESCO city. She generously helped us solve some puzzling transportation needs and took us to amazing off the beaten track places, like a 1500s home to the same family for 500 years! As we were at different levels of Italian language, she adapted easily to encouraging/teaching both of us. Thank you Chiara!

Frederico was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and well presented. Would highly recommend. Come hungry because you will eat a lot!

Lovely guide if you are looking for a food based tour. Good food, beautiful place and wonderful company.

Great experience. Our guide Evelyn was brilliant, the pace was right and the amount of information just right, switching between current life and history. 2 hours are a perfect length and this allows you ample time to go back and visit the highlights such as san vigilio and the Cathedral. Great place for the best food and experience is the cooperativa, stunning.

Totally delightful experience with Luca and Patrica. The drive up to their residence was tricky with lots of switchbacks, but once there we were warmly greeted and treated as special guests. We learned so much about proper pizza making, about their community, and about the local traditions . We also enjoyed great conversation on Italian and American cultural comparisons. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend it to others. The food and the view overlooking the lake were extraordinary. Do not hesitate to book this.

Such a nice and relaxing day at the spa in San Pellegrino! Beautiful place, great atmosphere, and a perfect way to relax. We really enjoyed it! 👍🏻

Alessandro’s cooking class was our favorite souvenir of our trip!! We loved hearing about his family traditions and recipes. He was such a kind teacher and excellent host! We loved learning how to make pasta, lemon mousse, and omelette cups. He made sure we were prepared to make these again when we return home. I can’t recommend him enough! It was a delightful way to spend a day in Bergamo! We also loved visiting with his sons!

this was a highlight of our trip! laura and alessandro are amazing! perfect from start to finish,..from their welcoming smiles to their comfy home and laura’s cooking expertise! so fun to prepare, cook, and eat in their home! it was absolutely delicious! we highly recommend!

Barbara gave a very nice tour, with a lot of information off all kinds. We can recommend.

What a fabulous and in depth introduction to Bergamo. We are so grateful that we spent the morning with Barbara. She helped to provide context to so much about this beautiful city that we would have missed otherwise.

The tour was very pleasant and Valentina was courteous, helpful, professional, and capable of adapting and planning the tour according to our needs. It was our first meeting and it will not be the last!

Bellano is beautiful! After viewing the lovely canyon, enjoy the museums and have a meal here. It’s wonderful!
