The perfect immersive experience to Bologna! Our guide, Jonathan M. was incredibly informative, upbeat and knowledgeable. In our 2 week Italy trip I had not done my due diligence to plan for things in Bologna. This tour took care of that! A planning email from our guide helped tailor the highlights that would interest us the most. The two hours was a great length of time, allowing you to see so much without being draining. After the tour we felt oriented to the city and knew what we wanted to visit again and spend more time. Jonathan went above and beyond to give us local info for day trips, things to do and see and restaurants. He also sent additional info to me for Liberation Day events. This was one of the best tours we enjoyed and it was money very well spent. Thank you so much!

Nicola was very interesting and familiar with Bologna. He walked at a pace that was our pace, greatly appreciated. He was polite and his English was perfect. He’s a really great guide with a superb knowledge of History.
