Great Walking Tour - Highly Recommend - This walking tour was great! Very informative and easy to follow with interesting, optional side notes/recorded messages that dove deeper into the history of some of the sights. The direct links to the maps for walking directions were awesome! My sister and I wanted to explore Bologna at our own pace and this tour let us do that easily. We did the first half on our first day while stopping for coffees, lunch, shops, etc and then casually picked up where we left off on our second day. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour and excellent value for money. - This was a great tour and great value tour to do on your own or with your own group of friends or family. You can start it whenever works and do it as quickly or as slowly as you want. We stopped for lunch along the way. We also did every extra side tour that was suggested or linked to. Overall it covered almost all of the sites in Bologna. The other couple of sites we just looked at ourselves on the way. We also loved all the history included in the guide. The organising company was very responsive and answered all our questions very quickly. We completed the tour in 4 hours including our lunch.

Informative and practical - The guided tour was informative and good value for money. You find out the basic info about the most important sights, get tips about food and discover some less known fun facts. We also used the tour for Ferrara - they are really good if you want info but don’t want to book a live, more expensive, guided tour,

Very practical and well - It allowed us to see places we would not have seen and it was very convenient to use. We were free without time constraints during the day.

Interesting and fun way to learn a new city - We enjoyed this audio guide we could listen to on our own schedule, and we really enjoyed the excellent map links to lead us to interesting secrets we would not have learned otherwise.

Easy pleasant not boring - Pleasant and not boring explanation (perhaps in some places too hasty). A small flaw... if you stop a little longer the navigation returns to default in English. Excellent reference to destinations or additional curiosities. Easy movement between the various stages. Thank you.
