Eugenio was a very friendly and enthusiastic guide who shared lots of information and history about Bologna. We were able to visit some places we would not have found ourselves, and it was interesting visiting the various little shops in the streets off the main square. The food we tried was really tasty and it was great to be introduced to the region's sparkling red wine.

Incredibly happy with this experience! Thank you Eugenio for your friendly, knowlegable and entertaining way! We could have spent another five hours on the tour, no doubt... A recommendation to anyone considering to book this tour is first off to absolutely do it, and secondly to do it early in your stay in Bologna, to have the chance to make use of all the great tips and recommendations from the guide!
