Invaluable guided tour - Frederik's depth of knowledge was most impressive having lived in Bologna for most of his life. We learnt so much about the origins of and history of buildings in the city. We walked through the very busy market where there was a vast selection of local produce much of which was special to the region. He provided an excellent introduction to the city's sights. We would highly recommend this guided tour to first time visitors

What a nice tour! - I really enjoyed this walking tour! We spent some time at Neptune's Fountain, which was much more impressive in person. The guide shared some cool stories about the city’s history, and we also wandered through the beautiful Archiginnasio. The architecture there is stunning, and I felt like I was stepping back in time. It was the perfect way to get a feel for Bologna's rich culture, mixing old and new.
