Nikola was amazing and it didn’t even feel like a tour. It felt like visiting an old friend and they took us around their city!

Our tour in Bologna with Nicola was absolutely wonderful! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of passion for his city. We had an almost 80-year-old in our group, and Nicola was incredibly considerate—setting a comfortable pace and making sure everyone was included. His stories brought Bologna’s history and culture to life, and his warm personality made the experience unforgettable.

Nicola was a great guide. He listened to what we wanted (historical sites, less well known churches and museums) and tailored the tour to our express interests, was very knowledgeable, and found great places for us to stop for coffee and lunch when we needed a break. Our trip to Bologna would have been much less interesting without him. Highly recommend.

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.

Our private tour of Bologna was phenomenal. The city of bologna is beautiful, full of history, and our guide Jonathan provided an exceptional experience! We toured the city center complete with cathedrals, markets, the university, museums, and even local secrets. Jonathan made us feel welcome in the city and we left feeling like we had seen it all! We highly recommend this tour and Jonathan!
