5.00We had a great time with our guide Ilaria. It is typically a group tour but we were the only ones to book so it was just us. The tour was excellent and we had great conversation and got fantastic insight into the city from our guide. She also provided us with recomendations for our following travels and Italy and was flexible with our limited timing. Absolutely would recommend.
Ragu with Ilaria!

5.00Ilaria was a knowledgeable and friendly guide and the company was great to accommodate us as our train was delayed over an hour and we had planned to arrive quite early. Ilaria fit in everything she could, we tried some great food and learned a lot about the city and its people. Highly recommend
Fantastic tour!

5.00Ilaria was a fantastic guide!! It was like having an Italian friend showing you the sites around Bologna. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and personable, making our tour an extremely enjoyable experience. The mortadella sandwich and white wine was so fresh and tasty! Followed by a lovely tagliatelle ragu which was delicious. And we finished the tour with a nice creamy gelato! We strolled around the streets which was nice compared to other tours that we have done where they felt rushed. Thank you so much Ilaria for sharing this experience with us. We really enjoyed your company, and that of your trainee friend. You were both delightful 😊 Grazie!
Pleasurable start in Bologna
