We only had one day to experience Bologna and this tour was the perfect way to start the day. Our guide Cristiano did a great job communicating in advance and he was charming, informative, funny and deeply knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bologna. The 3-hour tour was done at a perfect pace and we saw quite a bit of the city and got recommendations for additional highlights that we were able to return to later in the day/evening. Overall a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bologna for the first time.

Great sense of humor and a very likeable guy. Nicola was very flexible, and we were so impressed by his knowledge of Bologna history. We appreciate his willingness to get us to the train station via taxi. We would definitely ask for Nicola for another tour.

Having a private tour with Nicola was very special and he accepted our invitation to lunch with us. This made it more personal and unique. Nicola is a very nice young man.

Claudio was wonderful. He gives a thoughtful tour of Bologna with small and big details. He knows the history of the University and city well. He showed me where the best food spots were. I had THE BEST pasta I have had in my life there!!!
