Antonia was remarkable! There would have been no way we could have seen as much as we dud without her. She was so knowledgeable and went out of her way to find us things we were interested in seeing and doing! Would highly recommend this tour and using Antonia!

Disappointed

Saw the old Jewish ghetto. Thought we would see today’s lifestyles of present day but we got lots of historic info. Asked for a mix and didn’t get it.

I thank you for your feedback as this helps us to improve experiences for future guests.

Guides need training

Our trip was supposed to be bicycling and food tastings. We bicycled hard for two hours. No tastings just a stop for lunch. Our guide told no stories about the city just pointed things out.

I had a lovely day! Adèle was so nice and educated me on the culture and historical sights of Bologna. She was so sweet. Got some exercise- walking. Pizza 🍕 , granitas. Saw many churches ⛪️, and towers, secret window, Adèle was quite helpful , as I attempted to converse with the local Italians. She was so kind to pick me up and take me back to my hotel. It was a wonderful experience!!
