Welcome to Bologna! Private Walking Tour
Overview
This is the ideal tour of Bologna if you want to get to know the best of the city on a half-day walk in the historic center. You will discover the history and culture behind each building and you will also receive further information to make unique and unforgettable your stay. We will end up in the medieval market area where you can receive some suggestions for your lunch and dinner based on typical local products.
The tour is carried out by a local expert and certified local guide.
I'm a freelance tour guide and often collaborate with many different organizations during the season, so my calendar may not be fully updated.
For every eventuality I recommend sending me a direct message so I can respond promptly and best organize your tour.
