Absolutely recommended! - Great guide, full of details and curious stories! Matteo guides you “virtually” on a beautiful walk through the city and takes you to discover the most iconic places of Bologna and its secrets. Definitely a fun and different way to visit a city, in full autonomy and with the right level of depth. Super recommended!

The perfect Bologna... - A very nice commented walk through the city and excellent culinary addresses to visit! We were able to discover the famous al ragu tagliatelle at the Sfoglia Rina. Bologna is beautiful, you really have to follow all the tips and take the time to stroll the streets to enjoy it to the fullest. In addition, creators take the time to answer questions via WhatsApp as needed, they are very responsive and friendly. My last tip (since the tour is available on several days after the selected date), is to choose the tour for the day before and so you can plan your day if you have visits to monuments in parallel.

Excellent guide, funny and factual - invaluable for a first time visitor. - For a first trip to Bologna this audio tour was perfect for our needs. Interesting content, with great amusing anecdotes, along with detailed factual commentary. We could easily wander off the prescribed route when we saw something interesting and still pick up on the tour - completely to suit ourselves. E.g. the main piazza was rather busy and noisy when we arrived, so simply returned later. You can’t do that with a physical tour guide. We would warmly recommend this option, also excellent value for money.

Have your internet access ready for this tour - First things first: Viator found this tour after a guided walking tour we had scheduled fell through. Viator was incredibly responsible as we dealt with that issue, and booking this tour for us was part of that. That said, this tour scratched the surface and not well. It was difficult to follow, and didn't put a lot of things into context. It also depended on us having access to WIFI or a strong cell signal, and for the post part, we had neither. It gave us a handful of places to go see and gave us a bit of explanation. A written version of the tour was included, but only some of the tour was included. That was great because when we didn't have WIFI, we could read it. Unfortunately, much of the tour was not written out. It's a good starting point, but make sure you have internet access and be ready to do some research on your own.

So-So Experience - The GPS directions were not the best and didn’t always work well. The info that we were able to hear at the appropriate sites was interesting but a bit disappointed in the time it took us to navigate between sites due to having to use our own separate map system
