5.Best of Bologna in one day : Food, architecture, art and history

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 27 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $174

A packed private day in Bologna with medieval churches, university treasures, top art stops, and included food tastings plus a pasta class.

“First trip to Bologna, and this tour showed us how important a great tour with a great guide is when a city doesn’t promote itself as much as other Italian cities. Riccardo is passionate, knowledgeable and brings the story of the city to life. He single-handedly made us walk away rating Bologna as one of the top places we visited of the ten stops this trip. A truly great city, but one that requires an amazing guide to truly see.”
