A tour with a local - Our tour with Frederick was excellent! He is a true local, so was not able to give us great tips but had an excellent knowledge of the history behind many of the historic buildings in Bologna.

Great tour of historical Bologna - Frederik was cheerful and informative. It was raining heavily on the day of the tour. Despite the weather, Frederik highlighted an interesting detail we would not have known without this tour.

Not your ordinary walking tour. So much more! - What a fabulous walking tour! I gained a new appreciation for Bologna. So much history & hidden gems pointed out by Frederick our guide. Do this trip when you first get to Bologna & you will have a better idea what to plan next. Cute areas on our walk that I am planning to visit again before heading out.
