Beautiful Bologna - Our guide Christina not only showed us historic buildings but pictures of how the town would have looked historically, and she guided us through the roads and pointed out local foods. The pace was perfect for my 80 year old mother and the guide accommodated us by finding a few stops where she could sit.

Just enough information to want to come back and explore again on our own. - Despite the crappy weather our tour guide did a great job of showing us the historic sites of Bologna and helped us with a few restaurant recommendations.

Perfect tour - We chose a private walking tour of Bologna. It was the perfect tour to get to know this beautiful city. Our tour guide Sara was absolutely amazing! She was knowledgeable and passionate about the history, culture and culinary traditions that make Bologna so unique! We would highly recommend this tour but especially Sara! She was an absolute gem!

Fantastic tour, fantastic guide - I was staying in Florence, but decided to take the train to Bologna in order to get a glimpse of the red city. I chose this tour because I thought it would be ideal for a first impression of the Bologna and wow, it was much more than that. We were lucky enough to have Ricardo as a guide, who turned out to be as knowledgeable about art and history as passionate about his hometown. Grazie Ricardo, sei stato bravissimo!

Not worth it - We practically did not leave the center, focusing on uninteresting topics and failing to see many other things that we later had the opportunity to learn about independently.

Not a big take away of Bologna - The guide was wonderful person but her English was not very good so sometimes it was hard to understand her. For the money it really was not worth it. Felt the background of the places we saw was not very complete especially from an historical prospective. The guide was on the phone for long time during the tour and was socializing with other guides verses focused on the experience. She did not realize we had food tasting as part of the experience so gave me the food voucher at the end of the tour and I did not know where to go to redeem it. She was slow walking and I wish we had cover more places.
