    Walking through the heart of Bologna and listening to Paulina on the history Bologna was totally wonderful. She knows the “secrets” and has “keys” to many Bologna’s best points of interest. Highly recommended!

    Diego showed us around Bologna. We would not have found some of these places unless with a local. Loved going to the oldest Osteria in the world.

    I don’t typically write reviews, but in this case, it felt necessary! I went for a private tour with one other friend of mine :) Claudio was genuinely one of the best tour guides we could have asked for during our time in Bologna. He was incredibly informative and friendly, and he made the entire experience feel relaxed and personal. He went completely at our pace, showed us so many beautiful areas of the city, and gave us fantastic recommendations for places to eat, drink, and explore. We had booked a 5-hour tour, and Claudio truly went above and beyond to make it memorable. One of our favourite moments was playing Scopa together (more than once haha) - something we’ll honestly never forget! It was very natural spending time with Claudio, as if we had been friends for a long time :) If you’re visiting Bologna and want a tour that feels authentic, welcoming, and full of local knowledge, we cannot recommend Claudio enough. Thank you again for such an amazing experience! Claudio if you do read this - thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we will be sure to see you once again!!
