5.00A perfect way to learn about the culture, history and try the delicious food and wine. Our tour guide Erica gave us lots of information about Bologna as well as sharing her experiences as a Bologna local.
Rushed/ Non professional and not worth the money

2.00Our guide was sharp and impatient with her comments. Because she was talking and walking most people missed out on the historical information given. I felt rushed throughout the tour. One of the stops was a cheese store where only half of the group got to hear her telling history of the product and the other half was ignored. When it came time to taste the cheese and cold meats, a very distasteful choice of a red and white wine was offered and it was sparkling. Most of the group complained. She didn’t show any interest or enthusiasm in her job. She just looked exhausted and overwhelmed. I didn’t stay to the end because I don’t feel the worth in this tour. My apologies but my experience was not worth the money.
