This was a great tour for us. Our guide, Giacomo, was not only very knowledgeable but also made us feel very welcome. The day was full of history, stories, and great food. It gave us a better understanding of Bologna and we saw places that we would never have scene on our own. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to others.

Disappointing, the tour was more a historical and city walking tour, with lunch catered for at a trattoria after. There was no food tasting or guided tour on food aspects, it shld be rebranded as such. For food lovers looking for a food tour, better to look on tripadvisor for food dedicated tours...

The guide spoke good English and was well informed. However, her body odor and bad breath detracted from our overall enjoyment of the tour. She was also poorly dressed and didn't look at all like the professional guide we expected.

Well done. This was our introduction to Bologna and served us well. It gave us a good overview of the city as well as some comfort we could get around from place to place on our own without difficulty.

Wonderful tour full of history. Similar to Rome but on a smaller scale. The tour guide was very informative and interesting.

Bologna is definitely worth visiting and the only proper way to do it is by walking around.
Tip: you must see St. Luca churh outside city limits with its covered walkway stretching for several kilometers but to do it you have to be really fit to walk all the way up or to have a car or take a taxi to drive uphill (and maybe walk all the way down which is much more pleasant by the way :-)).

The tour itself is average. We found some issues with it. To start it was not very clear the starting time and it was sold as a 3 h tour, but in reality it only last 2.5 hours. Thereis half an hour you paiy for that is not included!

We highly recommend this tour. Our guide for the day was Natalia and the knowledge that she shared and good company that she afforded us made the day memorable. It gave us such a better understanding of Bologna and we saw places that we woud never have discovered by ourselves. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to others.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. She revised our itinerary around our specific interests as conveyed to her at the start of the tour. This was a great way to get a good overview of the city in a short period of time.
