Reviews of Our Bologna Experiences

We had great time on our tour. Andrea, our guide, was very friendly and informative. He told us many stories of the history of Bologna. We visited several markets including the Christmas Market. I definitely recommend this tour.

My local host was great and super prepared for everything. It was hard to meet my very demanding requests, since I've lived in Bologna for over 20 years, but Lorenza was able to satisfy my requests. I discovered places in Bologna and Christmas traditions I didn't know about! Thanks a lot

My father and I had a wonderful day trip to Modena, Italy on 31 March 2019 arranged through City Unscripted. We had the most wonderful local guide - Sofia. The day couldn't have been better! Sofia knew so much about the area and was so lovely. We will remember it forever. City Unscripted did a wonderful job matching us with a suitable guide based on our interests. Thank you Sofia and City Unscripted! If you would like to go on a walking tour of Bologna or Modena, ask for Sofia. You wont be dissapointed :-)
