Tour description

 Do you want to have the main information to start your visit in Bergamo together with a local? This is the tour for you!

I will show you the main streets of the "Upper City" (Città Alta), tell you some personal anecdotes related to the city, and provide you with all the elements to visit the most important monuments on your own!

But not only that: we will also talk about food! I was born and raised in Bergamo so I can recommend the best local restaurants, ice creams, cafes, and more!

And it doesn't end here: at the end of the tour you will have my personal list of the best things to do in Bergamo, tips on the best museums, info on tickets and opening time so you will enjoy everything about my lovely city!

Tour was cancelled 2 hrs before start time while I was already on train from Milan. Terribly dissapointed, but Matteo provided and alternative to purchase a virtual audio guide for €7. Audio tour was good and much appreciated. But I might have booked a different tour should i have known in advance
