Recommended! - I loved this tour! We visited the main square, and our guide shared some fascinating details about the history behind the square and the medieval buildings around it. Later, we explored the lively market, where we learned about Bologna’s rich food traditions and saw locals shopping for fresh ingredients. It was the perfect mix of history and culture, and getting a glimpse into everyday life in Bologna made the experience even more special. Highly recommend!

Must do in Bologna! - I really enjoyed this walking tour in Bologna! We started in Piazza Maggiore, where our guide explained the history behind the square and pointed out details on the surrounding buildings that I’d never have noticed. Then we visited the Fountain of Neptune, which was impressive up close and has a surprising history. It felt like getting a real insider’s look at Bologna. Great experience!

Fun tour in Bologna! - What a fun tour of Bologna! We kicked things off in Piazza Maggiore, right in the heart of the city, surrounded by all that amazing old architecture. The guide shared stories that made the history feel real, not just like facts from a textbook. Then we strolled over to the nearby market! It was packed with locals and the smell of fresh food everywhere. The whole experience gave me a real feel for the city’s energy and its mix of old and new. Definitely worth doing if you’re in town!

History of food - We did the tour with Frederick and had a great time! Frederick is a fun guide who points out little things you'd never notice about the architecture. His tour is a mix of the history of the city and history of food! He took us to historic food shops, pointed out local products, explained how they are made and how to spot high quality. It was very enjoyable and we were all hungry afterwards :-) He also has great recommendations!

Perfect introduction to Italy! - We just arrived in Bologna to kick off our two-week trip in Northern Italy, and this walking tour was the perfect introduction to the city! Our guide was amazing, sharing so much history and local stories that really brought Bologna to life for us. We loved exploring the beautiful medieval streets, seeing the famous towers, and, of course, learning about the food culture that Bologna is so famous for. It was a great way to get oriented and feel the vibrant energy of the city. We can’t wait to explore more of Italy, but this tour has already set the bar really high!
