My time with Mico was absolutely fantastic. He knows so much about the history, background and current status of bologna that he could fill several books. He was professional he was entertaining. He was very funny and made the entire tour one of the best I’ve ever taken. Everyone would be lucky to have him as your guide. He truly made the entire city and it’s past, and what it has to offer now totally come alive. Plus, the fact he knows the best gelato in the world. That we only spent a few hours together I consider him a friend and hopefully when I return to visit this fabulous city he will be there. If I could have, I would have taken several more of his tours!!!!

Antonia was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and she gave us a wonderful introductory tour highlighting the history of beautiful Bologna.

Flavio_M

Chiara is a very nice young lady but, unfortunately, not as well prepared as many other guides we have had. Her English is also below expectations which added to our frustration. Maybe a better fit for Italian speakers that are not looking for information / guidance.

Maria_B

The knowledgeable host who was kind, competent and engaging. I loved how she told stories that made the history come.alive.

david_c

We bought lunch and brought it the oldest tavern in Bologna! Learned about the university and some of the buildings and architecture downtown. It was the perfect thing to do for our first day…..

Thomas_A

We had a lovely guide, a native Bolognese, who was personable and knowledgeable on the city's history and locales. We threw an unspecified plan at Giacomo and he was great at showing us the city in the non-tourist fashion that we prefer.

Doug_H

Mirko was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide with a wealth of information about Bologna. My wife and I had a very special day. It was the highlight of our trip. Because he had lived for a brief time in the United States he was able to contrast the differences in the cultures which made our tour particularly insiteful.

Rita_M

Being introduced to all the beautiful areas and sights of lovely Bologna.Giacomo was very interested in sharing his lovely city with us.

PattiMRose

I specifically asked for wanting to taste tortellini and Frodo Pepperdale with Bolognese and ending with charcuterie and my tour guide knowing this change the sequence and therefore we only got to taste the charcuterie the restaurants were closed for the others I would just state that if you request something it should be understood and granted. I will never visit the lonia again nor ever have Bolognese and bologna. I did email the company and never received a reply

Amber_K

Our guide did a great job showing us around. His knowledge of the city’s history was excellent as was his recommendations for eateries and places to visit. We now have a good understanding of the city and what we want to see on our own. Thank you Jeet!
