We enjoyed our visit to Bologna immensely! Sacha was very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. We learned so much about the history and culture of Bologna, and especially about the food! (our favorite part!). Would definitely recommend Sacha to others looking for a private tour of Bologna.

What an educational and interesting day we had with Sacha. She couldn't have been nicer and her knowledge of Bologna's history, architecture, food and culture is amazing. Topped off with a gorgeous lunch, we couldn't recommend her higher!

My husband and I just spent 5 hours in Bologna with Sacha who led us on a very interesting tour showing and explaining so many things. Her own interest in, knowledge and love of history make her an exceptional guide. Thank you Sacha!

Our tour with Sacha could not have been better. Supplying information about a city is not enough. Sacha completed the picture by providing insights and context that complete the picture. Her breadth and depth of knowledge is remarkable and she engaged in conversation rather than simply lecturing. We strongly recommend her.
