Overview of your Bologna tour:

Water in Bologna has always been a problem due to the fact that there is no river crossing the town. During this tour we will discover how Bolognese people solved this problem in really smart ways, starting from the Roman age. More than 60 kilometers of canals, water mills for products such as paper, leather and silk and four different ports through the centuries, something really amazing for a town without rivers, lakes or sea !! You will have a gorgeous view on the last uncovered canals and I will tell you some legends/personal stories about them. Then let's pay a visit to the old harbour area, from where boats left to reach Venice and the Adriatic sea up to beginning of the XXth century. A wonderful trip sailing through the waters of Bologna ! Only with a true licensed Bolognese tour guide like me you will catch this special aspect of Bologna!
