Riccardo was such a font of information. He had so much depth on the history of Bologna, the influences and even some special places not well known by some who may just do a high level tour. We loved it!

Ricardo is full of information and passion for his city and its treasures. He speaks fluent English, is personable and really wants his clients to come away with more appreciation for the art and history of Bologna. If you are looking for the typical “walk from building to building “ with a little information, this may not be your tour. If you want to be immersed in special treasures and history of Bologna, Ricardo is the best!!
