Jon was a great guide. The additional info he provided by email was very useful for the rest of our stay in Bologna. We really appreciated that. He really went the extra mile and showed us everything! We got a really good sense of Bologna and were able to go back to some spots the next day to re- visit. Jon was friendly and shared stories that helped us understand this great town
