1)The Bergamo cathedral, showcasing architecture spanning from the 13th to the 16th centuries, houses notable works by Lorenzo Lotto and other renowned Italian 16th-century artists, along with a selection of tapestries as examples of the ‘Barocco’ stylistic movement.
2)We will immerse ourselves in the grandeur of the Captain Colleoni chapel, a magnificent 16th-century mausoleum and chapel which was commissioned by Captain Colleoni to commemorate his influence.
3)We will ascend to the archaic city tower for sweeping views of Bergamo’s valley landscapes.
4)Our path leads us to the city castle, a 15th-century fortress with panoramic surroundings.
5)We will inspect intricate 13th-century frescos within another esteemed church.

Unforgettable Trip - Giorgio Ghidotti was an unbelievable guide. He gave us details about what we were seeing that I doubt would be found in any guidebook. He seemed to sincerely care that we were having a good time and that we were enjoying ourselves. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know the real Bergamo.

A Wonderful Experience - I can't say enough about Giorgio. He is a kind man blessed with a wealth of knowledge about Bergamo. This was listed as a three-hour tour with a meeting point in Bergamo. Instead he offered to pick us up in Milano and drive us back and we were with him for seven hours!! He even picked up lunch!! Giorgio has a true enthusiasm for his work and seems to just enjoy showing people around. Take any tour you can with him!
