It sticks to the outside of the monuments; going in has to be arranged ahead, and tickets and transport are extra. 4.94 from 35 reviews at €45 per person. ## Overview Bologna can sometimes feel inaccessible to foreign visitors. Take the mystery out of your visit by exploring with a local on a private walking tour. This personalized experience lets you discover the exterior of monuments, including museums, while your guide shares insights into local life and Bologna’s rich culture. If you wish to go inside a museum, we can create a customized itinerary just for you—simply let us know in advance. Your guide contacts you beforehand to understand your interests, ensuring the tour focuses on what matters most to you.
