My reviews

    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.
