Alex did a great job showing us Old Town Bologna. The tour was a mix of historical sites and present-day life. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Alex covered the history and culture of Bologna in a clear and insightful manner. He answered all our questions in as much depth as we required and never rushed us along. He is a good advocate for Bologna and we finished the tour with a much more rounded understanding of city. Would definitely recommend.

I enjoyed the personalised tour rather than being in a group. Nice to have a coffee with my guide and hear about life in Bologna. Good general knowledge of the city without overbearing minute historical detail. I ‘felt’ the ambiance and background rather that it being a direct school trip
