What travelers think of our Bologna experiences
Andrea was the perfect guide and host
Show moreMy 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
Show moreCristiano was extremely knowledgeable and provided lots of tips about Bologna. He answered questions and was helpful when we asked specific questions. Also much more affordable than many other “private” tours. Highly recommended.
Show moreMy 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 :-)
Show moreGabriele was fantastic in not only taking us around Modena and Bologna but also ensuring the rest of our stay in the area was easy to navigate from trains to restaurants to shopping. Could not be more pleased to start our trip with him.
Show moreWe had a lovely day with Gabriele. His English was excellent and he had a friendly and engaging manner and concentrated on what we wanted to see and know rather than just going through a set agenda. We finished a little early and, on return to Bologna, he showed us some of the highlights. Would recommend him to anyone.
