Highlights
  • Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe - The starting point of our tour! We are going to begin our digital tour from this beautiful square and we’ll get to know something about “bergamaschi” (people from Bergamo) and the story of the city.
  • Rocca di Bergamo - A lovely fortress surrounded by an amazing park! Enter and enjoy the amazing views while walking all around the park! Here you are going to find also an historical museum that is not included in the tour. If you are curious and you like Italian history you can spend some time here!
  • Lavatoio di Citta Alta - A beautiful old washhouse that tells us stories of the past. We will also talk about a “product” that comes from Bergamo that I am sure you have already seen at least once in your life!
  • Piazza Vecchia - The main square of the historical center! A beautiful place with lots of interesting buildings and many stories and curiosities to discover!
  • Cappella Colleoni - An amazing Chapel that worth a visit! We are going to talk about the story of Colleoni and you will discover something quite weird about him. Get ready!
  • Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - Probably our most incredible church! The outside doesn’t look amazing but the inside is unbelievable. If you like churches it’s a “must-do” but I recommend you to enter even if you don’t like visiting these places.
  • Cattedrale (Duomo) di Bergamo e Battistero - The amazing Cathedral of Bergamo! Visit this for free and discover some story about the most important person that ever lived in Bergamo!
  • Via Bartolomeo Colleoni - Be prepared to be enchanted by the beautiful stores on this street and also the restaurants. This area is full of them and we will also talk about our typical dishes and my favorite restaurants!
  • Cittadella di Bergamo - A lovely and beautiful Citadel where we are going to talk about a “mysterious” tower.
  • Castello di San Vigilio - An amazing area with an amazing view! Get ready to walk on top of the hill or use our second funicular!

Great walking guide - We had visited Bergamo once before but on our second visit we wanted to learn more about the city. This guide was perfect as we could take it at our own pace and we learnt so much, found things and places we never saw before. We also tried out some of Matteo’s food recommendations, I won’t spoil it by naming them here, but yummy definitely recommend.

Great Way to Explore Bergamo - This digital guide of Bergamo was absolutely perfect for us! We arrived in Bergamo Città Alta and walked around the city for a bit, enjoying what we saw. Then, we decided to try Matteo's digital guide and found it to be just what we needed. It's very easy to use, well-organized, and provides the right amount of info about the sights of Bergamo. Matteo has in-depth knowledge about the city which he shares, along with good tips and his sense of humor, and recommendations about great food that this charming city offers. We tried one of his restaurant recommendations and it was delicious. We even ate there two days in a row! His recommendation for gelato was spot on too. I can't think of a better way to explore a city, so we're signing up for two of his other tours. Matteo also makes sure that you get connected to the link for the tour and answers any questions you may have. Grazie, Matteo!

It is a pleasure! - The digital guide is easy to use and shows you a lot of beautiful places. We bought it because we did not know anything about Bergamo. Matteo guided us through Bergamo with a nice voice and lots of information, historical backgrounds and facts. Also food recommendations, very nice!

We could do a break whenever we want to and hear funny and important information about a lot of sightseeing spots. Matteo is really cool and I like this wording and his enthusiasm a lot! Great job and great tour! I can really recommend it.

Perfectly organized guide - A highly commendable alternative to traditional guided tours, Matteo's digital guide offers a captivating exploration of the city. His passion for the locale shines through the engaging yet succinct sections, fostering a sense of direct engagement with the reader. The language is accessible, facilitating easy comprehension, and the inclusion of Google Maps links ensures seamless navigation throughout the journey. Moreover, the flexibility afforded by the digital format is invaluable. One can pause at will, allowing for extended or abbreviated visits to points of interest, free from the constraints of group dynamics. This autonomy renders the digital guide a practical and liberating resource. For those seeking a more enriching city experience beyond surface-level exploration, this recommendation is unequivocal. Matteo's guide not only facilitates navigation but also offers insightful and lesser-known details, elevating the overall experience.

Bergamo independently - Very interesting way to manage the visit in complete autonomy, without the hassle of respecting predefined times. Easy to use, with information regarding the main points of interest and with a well-developed itinerary. There is no shortage of curiosities and advice.
