  • Fontana del Nettuno

    This small group tour, for a maximum of 14 people, is a great way to discover Bologna with others! It provides an insight into the history of this small and ancient city.

    A local and top rated guide will meet you in the city centre, before taking you to explore this beautiful city. There’s no need to worry about the weather, no matter if it’s raining or sweltering, there are nearly 40 kilometres of porticos to keep you dry or shaded, and nearly every significant attraction in the city is just a few minutes' walk.

    The starting point will be the graceful Neptune fountain,

    Not far from the Palace are the famous towers, Asinelli and Garisenda, which were referenced by Dante in his ‘Divine Comedy’. These towers appear to lean even more dramatically than the famous leaning tower of Pisa, due to their narrow shape.
