    Great private tour of Bologna. We walked our feet off, but saw such interesting places, especially the sun passing the Meridian inside the church (can’t remember the name). Claudio’ s recommendations for art, history and dining were wonderful. Such a gentleman, knowledgeable and respectful of these two old ladies from America!

    Our tour guide, Elisabeth, was just perfect! She took us on an interesting journey through the history and development of Bologna. In many places she surprised us with insider information and small peculiarities that a normal tourist would probably overlook. She responded to our pace, was always open to our questions and was able to answer us comprehensively and competently, and so the booked four hours went by in a flash.
