It was one of the hottest days in Bologna, Mirko has chosen a tour where we could mostly walk in the shade and stopping to refresh with some of the best ice creams. We got a very good overview of Bologna, seeing the most famous and also some more hidden sights accompanied with historical Information and interesting stories. We enjoyed our tour very much.

We decided to meet Claudio on the day we arrived in Bologna and it was the best decision we made. We learned to navigate the city, heard about the amazing history of the place, found a few facts we would have never known about and he even gave us a list of places to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, many of which we tried and were amazed by how good they were. A little pasta place which had a long queue of locals but was hard to understand how it worked so if we'd gone past it we never would have tried it and it would have been a real shame as it was amazing!! Claudio was great with our 2 year old and we even met him for aperitivos the following evening as we became friends. I look forward to meeting him again!
