Fantastic!!

Published on Sep, 2024

We just arrived in Bologna and our guide met us at our lodging. Our walking tour was the best tour we had during this European vacation. He was so full of enthusiasm and shared so much beautiful history. He also helped us to find the perfect restaurant to end our day. Highly recommend!

We had the best tour with Daniele! He is incredibly friendly and inviting. He showed us so many more sights than we would have been able to find on our own or by online searches. We loved that Daniele had so much pride for his home city and was genuinely excited to show us every corner. I would absolutely repeat a tour with Daniele and I recommend others to request him.
