We had the pleasure of touring Bologna with Riccardo.
He was absolutely superb, both in terms of his manner, what we saw and really explaining the detail and history behind what you are seeing, all capped of with a sensational restaurant recommendation to finish the tour with.
We would happily book his services again.

Our Curated Tour of Bologna
We had an amazing time exploring Bologna with our guide, Barbara. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the city’s history come alive with her storytelling. The tour was perfectly balanced — we visited major landmarks and also got to taste delicious local specialties like handmade pasta, cheese, sausages, balsamic vinegar, and pastries. Barbara curated everything with care and passion. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bologna!

Riccardo is a very enthusiastic and energetic guide who loves Bologna and was a favorite on our trip. He took us to little known spots, including one of the most impactful art pieces we saw on our 2.5 week travels through Italy.

Bologna Day Trip
My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Riccardo. He met us at the train station and for the next 3 hours we discovered the history and beauty of Bologna. It truly is a 'sleeper' city in Italy. As a former history professor at the local university, Riccardo possesses an incredible level of historical knowledge and passion for the city of Bologna. His tour is one of the best we have ever done.
