    Great private tour of Bologna. We walked our feet off, but saw such interesting places, especially the sun passing the Meridian inside the church (can’t remember the name). Claudio’ s recommendations for art, history and dining were wonderful. Such a gentleman, knowledgeable and respectful of these two old ladies from America!

    Had a terrific private tour with knowledgeable local guide. However, arrangement was very difficult. Booked they GetYourGuide who contracted with CityUnscripted. Did not hear from them so had to initiate several communications. Was told they were ‘trying to find guide’ so had no confidence they would find one. They finally did and tour was good. But setup was very frustrating, especially since I was traveling with limited voice & email communication
