We were visiting our daughter studying in Bologna and decided to book a personalized tour of the city. Claudio was fantastic! He listened well to what we wanted and tailored the time towards our interests. He was super well prepared with recommendations and a wealth of knowledge on all subjects Bologna from history to architecture to local culture and music. We experienced nooks and crannies of the city we never would have come across on our own. Wish we would have done this tour at the start of our stay to glean from all the recommendations Claudio provided. After this experience we immediately booked a similar tour in Florence.

Claudio did a fantastic job listening to us and crafting a fun and informative excursion around Bologna. We loved both the personalized recommendations and the list he provided for us. He also did a fantastic job fielding my nerdy architectural and construction questions about the local architecture and development. We have already booked another tour in Florence because of our experience with Claudio.

Claudio's English was great. He is a wonderful person overall, and was very knowledgeable on all the aspects of Bologna that we asked about. His walking itinerary was perfect...we felt like we knew the city, its people and its history, which really enriched our trip to Bologna. Bravo Claudio!

We had a wonderful experience with Diego and can't recommend him highly enough! This wasn't just a tour--it was a true experience, like suddenly making a cool local friend who loves his city and wants to show it off. The tasting experience was well designed and thoughtfully curated, and it came with lots of local history and culture, plus the personal touch that came with Diego's style and personality. This is the right tour, book it and have the Bologna experience of your dreams!
