    Andrea was the perfect host for our private highlights of Bologna tour. He was friendly, knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. The tour gave us a good feel for the history of the town and where to go during our trip. I highly recommend.

    Cristiano our local guide was awesome. He curated the tour to our liking and he threw in some hidden gems one would not know about without a private guide. This I would recommend to anyone who has 3-5 hours to spend in Bologna.

    My private tour with Claudio was both incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining. We explored the whole city, and I learned about so many hidden spots and fascinating pieces of Bologna’s history that I never knew existed. Thanks to the tour, I feel much more confident exploring on my own for the rest of my stay—and I came away with fantastic food tips too! Thank you, Claudio, for such a great experience.
