5.00Barbara, our guide, was amazing. She was passionate about her city. Barbara was fun, knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to spend the morning with her in the Upper Town of Bergamo. Since it was just my husband and myself on the tour, she made it quite personable. The next day we explored more on her suggestions. Thank you for sharing your city with us. Hope to see you again.

5.00I give 5 stars because 6 is not allowed. Barbara went way beyond expectations with her excellent and detailed tour of Bergamo. In addition, her helpful tips before, during, and after the tour hugely improved our visit. Cannot say how appreciative we are to have connected with her. Thank you Barbara!

5.00My husband/I toured with Barbara in the upper city, which is a fantastic place to tour - but made all the better with Barbara’s excellent guiding services! Barbara was great at communicating, so flexible when needed to change plans due to weather, great personality and so knowledgeable/passionate about Bergamo. Visiting the city would not have been the same without her services, highly recommend!!
Great walking tour of Bergamo!

5.00We have a great time exploring Bergamo with Barbara. She is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about Bergamo, and will make you love it, too. Barbara speaks perfect English and was very patient and flexible with our family. We had a great late afternoon walk across Città Alta (the oldest part of Bergamo) with Barbara telling us about the history of this beautiful ancient city and pointing out lots of interesting details that we wouldn’t noticed or enjoyed otherwise. She also told us about local gastronomy & traditions, gave us great restaurant recommendations, walked us through Bergamo’s main Basilica, and introduced us to the local ice-cream shop that makes ice cream that’s out of this world. We highly recommend a walking tour with Barbara, if you really want to explore and experience Bergamo, not just run through it.
