About local Giuseppe
20 April 2025

Giuseppe was delightful. A wealth of historical knowledge and daily life. His pace and energy matched ours and he took his time to make sure all of our questions and thoughts were answered. Food was plentiful and so was the wine. All locally sourced.

About local Paolo
17 April 2025
A great day in Bologna

Paolo knew all the best spots to hit. He introduced us to local cuisine we did not know existed. He was attentive to my limitations and we walked at my pace. There was never any pressure to buy. I loved the old indoor market and could have strolled there longer! I highly recommend him as a guide with excellent English.
