Our tour guide was absolutely amazing, she went to the effort of leading me to a sandwich shop she recommended after the tour had ended - pure kindness. The tour itself did run over by more than half an hour so I suggest don’t book anything till at least an hour after.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared with us how money, power and religion all played a part in Bologna's history. We observed architectural details that we would have otherwise missed, and learned about customs, practises and how Bologna's culinary delights. A must do tour!

Oh my goodness Christine was everything we could have hoped for. She is clearly extremely passionate about Bologna and had so much knowledge she shared it with us. It was at just the right pace, the information was interesting and I didn’t want it to end. She did a great job at explaining the history of the city and so many interesting facts can only thank her . Worth every penny don’t hesitate to book and if you get Christine as tour guide you’ve hit the jackpot!
