Antonia was an outstanding tour guide. We enjoyed seeing many of the historic sites of Bologna and learning about the history, the culture, and also importantly the food of Bologna. Antonia was wonderful at providing recommendations for places that we should come back and try later and really taught us a great deal about the people of Bologna (past and present) and the surrounding region! I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in having an interesting and engaging tour of the city. I would definitely recommend her with five stars! She is knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate about her city, its culture and its food!
