The guide was very accommodating and this was a great experience. She showed us all the sites we desired and navigated us throughout the town in three hours and brought us back to our origin. She changed our meeting point so it was more friendly to find, especially because it was raining when we met her. Unfortunately in our tour to some the college sites they were closed to the pubic.

We were very excited about our trip to Bologna, and we were contacted way in advanced by our tour guide, he communicated with us frequently and often to ask us exactly exactly what we wanted. THE DAY BEFORE, when we were already there and had no opportunity to change our tour, he told us he was unassigned. So we had someone else assigned to us the day before who really was not that interested. He was very good and smart, but clearly did not have the information we provided the person before.

Excellent tour of Bologna with Nicola. Tailored to our interests and gave us lots of interesting details and information. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He also sent us CGI video reconstructions of the old city and recommended other things we should see/do.

As always learning more in depth history of Bologna was interesting and informative. Antonia was relaxed in style and we enjoyed her company Some hidden gems that without the tour you would just walk on past

Jonathon was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and very personable. We had a wonderful time exploring the delights and hidden gems of Bologna at our own pace. Stopped for coffee and cake in the Giardini Margherita gardens which was delightful. Would highly recommend this tour to gain a comprehensive and overall feel for Bologna.
