Show moreDiego was a perfect guide. He arrived early, and stayed longer than we had booked him for, because he was so excited to show us more. He is very passionate about his city Bologna, and his passion is infectious. We truly loved every minute of our tour with Diego, and highly recommend him. We listened to his suggestions and gave him our input, and the result was a fabulously customized and memorable experience. We left Bologna with a great understanding of its life and culture, and a hope that we will soon return for more.
