Great 2 hours - Got to Bologna at 1:00 did a tour with Leonardo at 3:00. He was so informative showed us all the sights. He’s a university student born & raised here. We got a great history lesson and he showed us hidden gems of the city. We look forward to exploring more in the days to come on his recommendations. Thanks again Leo for a nice afternoon.

Bologna’s history - Leonardo was an exceptional tour guide. He knows the area as he grew up here, went to university here for history, and loves his city. He is passionate about the culture that built the town. He took us to many beautiful sites including Piazza Santo Stefano, San Vitale, Piazza Maggiore, the University of Bologna and many more. We would definitely recommend this tour and Leonardo.

To be recommended - Excellent way to discover and get to know Bologna. On foot, with our guide Louise (French) the visit was perfect. The explanations were clear and precise. We preferred this way to discover Bologna than the red tourist bus where the explanations of the monuments are too general With a guide and on foot it is much better
