Disappointing
nramato, Feb 2026
Boring and difficult to hear guide even with whispers. Guide was very unanimated and monotone in her delivery.

Julia was wonderful. Very educated and knowledgeable. She understands the history of Florence. A must do for sure.
Great walking tour!

This was a great way to see the highlights of Bologna and learn about the history of the city. Our guide was fantastic!
Details you can’t learn by yourself.

If I hadn’t done this I would have missed knowing Bologna. This is my first trip to Bologna. Walking around the city prior to my tour I missed SO MUCH! The heart is in the details of this city and is best expressed on a tour. My tour guide was incredible knowledgeable and tailored my experience to my interest. Absolutely a memorable part of my trip. Do not visit this city and think you can understand its history on your own. You will miss so much.
