If you want to see just how rich in history, art, architecture, and culture Bologna is going off the beaten path, seeing places you can’t find on a map or typical guide you have to go with Ricardo. He is THE history professor of Bologna. Magical experience. Fantastic food and fun. Thank you Ricardo none of us will forget the amazing time we had because of your passion to share your endless knowledge and love for the City of Bologna.

Wow, where to begin? This is our first time in Bologna but Riccardo gave us such a fantastic tour and introduction of what the city has to offer that we only regret not having more time to explore its splendours. Brimming with knowledge and enthusiasm for the history of the region, art, music and food, this is such a unique tour that I would highly recommend to anyone whether it is their first time to the city or a repeat visitor wanting to delve deeper below the surface. Riccardo shared with us hidden gems and treasures that only locals know to enjoy. We can’t wait to be back for more.
