Cristiano was extremely knowledgeable and provided lots of tips about Bologna. He answered questions and was helpful when we asked specific questions. Also much more affordable than many other “private” tours. Highly recommended.

We only had one day in our travel itinerary to see Bologna, but SO glad we did. What a beautiful city! We were amazed at the history of Bologna and the knowledge of our guide and the info he shared! We put some steps in but explored so much of the city in a short time. We appreciated that he was very flexible when we changed our meeting spot at the last minute.

We had an amazing tour of the highlights and gems in Bologna with Antonia. We just arrived to the city and Antonia took us throughout Bologna sharing the history and telling us fascinating stories along the way. Great introduction to a beautiful city. Antonia was very knowledgeable and engaging and we really enjoyed out time with her. The perfect way to start our trip!

Claudio was an excellent tour guide. He was able to show us the highlights of bologna and set my wife for further exploration after the tour. To top off an excellent tour Claudio helped us set an unbelievable lunch reservation which is hard to get on a saturday. Thanks again claudio!

Andrea was an incredible tour guide! He brought the history of Bologna to life with his deep knowledge and passion for the city. He didn’t just show the main sights — he shared every little detail, hidden corner, and story that makes Bologna so special. His enthusiasm and friendly personality made the experience feel personal and engaging. I left the tour with a real appreciation for the city’s history and culture. Highly recommend Andrea to anyone visiting Bologna!

Our tour in Bologna with Nicola was absolutely wonderful! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of passion for his city. We had an almost 80-year-old in our group, and Nicola was incredibly considerate—setting a comfortable pace and making sure everyone was included. His stories brought Bologna’s history and culture to life, and his warm personality made the experience unforgettable.
