Traveler reviews
A relaxing way to learn about Bologna's history
Benedetta took us on a wonderfully interesting tour of some of the central historical sites in Bologna. She was incredibly friendly and very welcoming of questions and conversation. She covered the general history of the city, we visited the Basilica, the old Bilblioteca and some of the market streets. We had a great time and would recommend her tours wholeheartedly.
Decent tour but could use some improvements
It did seem to cover all of the basics in Bologna centre including the anatomical theatre and main cathedral. The guide talked about the history of location and places Improvements, the guide never introduced himself, we started late so it felt rushed, the audio didn’t work so it was hard to hear and the guide didn’t try to make up for it, his accent was heavy so speaking more slowly would have helped.
Enjoyable tour,knowledgeable guide
Knowledgeable guide, who coped well with multilingual party and brought much added interest to our visit,after having undertaken our own walk around the city
