Good tour

Published on Jan, 2025

These kinds of tours always depends on the tour guide and our guide was solid. Our guide was Andrea and he did a great job of providing history, local insight and the ability to seamlessly have a conversation all throughout. It didn’t feel like a tour but just walking around with a friend. Good tour

Very informative and...

Very informative and loved the local suggestions and hidden gems. Alberto was very nice and flexible!

Great Guide in Bologna!

Published on Jan, 2025

My son and I enjoyed a visit to Bologna under the very able guidance of our tour guide, Andrea Bertolucci. We found Andrea to be well-informed, thorough and comfortable to spend time with. His personality enhanced the experience for us and we greatly enjoyed our time with him. We would highly recommend Andrea should you be looking for a tour guide in Bologna (and surrounding areas).

A delightful morning with Andrea

Published on Dec, 2024

Andrea was a charming guide who contacted me as soon as I booked the tour to find out what kinds of things we would like to see and learn. On the tour, he reviewed for us the history of the buildings around Piazza Maggiore and took us inside the City Hall to show us the ruins underneath, the Palazzo de Podesta, where civil marriages occur, and some meeting rooms. We also toured the neighborhood, including the Jewish ghetto and the Basilica of San Francesco and its flea market. Along the way, we enjoyed hearing about Andrea's life as a student and teacher in Bologna. At the end of the tour, he dropped us off at one of his favorite restaurants for lunch.

Excellent tour by a charming and informative guide.

Adrea was a most charming, engaging, and informative host. We saw things we would not have seen on our own and learned much from this history student/teacher. Andrea reached out to me immediately after I booked to introduce himself and learn our interests.
