5 months agoPaulo was very knowledgeable and his English was probably better than mine as a native speaker. I liked his attitude towards us as he shaped the tour around our interests. He also gave us some excellent recommendations which we have already checked out and enjoyed.
Response from Paolo:
Thank you so much Aaron! Happy to see you enjoyed my recommendations! :)Johannes
6 months agoWe can highly recommend a walking tour with Paolo. He is a real Bolognese local and has a profound knowledge about his city. Paolo showed us all the interesting sights of Bologna and he did it in a very vivid manner without being boring at all. He could even tell us a very interesting story about the place we had stayed at in Bologna although not being part of his tour originally. We also learned a lot about the Bolognese cuisine and Paolo led us to various shops with regional specialities.
In short, just experience his tour yourself!
Response from Paolo:
Thank you so much Johannes! Glad you enjoyed it :)Raquel

Thank you Henrique! I really enjoyed your guys' companyKevin
6 months agoI thought this was a great tour and introduction to the sites of Bologna in and around the main piazza. The walk was efficient, paced well, and Paolo did a good job to provide information on the walks between sites too. I appreciate that at the beginning of the tour he nicely asked whether we preferred history, food, culture, or just a mix of everything, so that gave us an opportunity to hear more of our preference and he was open to input. It was a great way to get a quick lay of the land before heading off to explore the rest of the city.
Response from Paolo:
