Bologna is known in the world for mainly 4 reasons: the towers, the porticos, the university and the food. In this tour you will find out why did the porticos and the towers come to define the skyline of Bologna and how the oldest university of the western world was born exactely here in 1088. You will discover that the mortadella was very much appreciated since roman times and "spagnetti bolognese". . . . don't really exist. Outstanding churches and palaces, beautifull squares and narrow alleys will be the frame for all these stories. At the end of the tour we'll stop in the old medieval market to taste some of the best products from our culinary tradition with some wine: mortadella, parma ham, Parmigiano are just some of the delicatessen you will have the chance to try.
Excellent tour guide! We booked Sacha for tours of both Bologna and Modena and could not have been happier. She is incredibly knowledgable, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to spend the day with. In addition, her English is outstanding. Highly recommend!
Sacha’s tour was very enjoyable! She was quite knowledgable about the history and culture of Bologna, and walked us through the highlights of the city in a very pleasant and accommodating manner. We would highly recommend her!
Sacha was excellent. Charming, warm and engaging with very good knowledge and enthusiasm for her city and all its sites. A most enjoyable and informative morning. And lots of useful tips and recommendations as well
Sacha I'd a wonderful job. The tour was perfect for our family to get an overview and history of the city. I highly recommend.
A very friendly and knowledgable guide who took us on a half day walking tour. Very interesting and enjoyable. Would certainly recommend her to others.
We loved Sacha- She knows the city well, could answer every question, and was simply delightful.
