Overview

Guidekin summary

A private walk of the centre with a certified guide taking in the arcades that carry the Unesco listing and the Basilica of San Petronio, with a city map and tasting vouchers handed over at the start. The vouchers are yours to spend later rather than a guided tasting, and San Petronio asks for covered shoulders and knees. 4.55 at €130 per person.

From the guide

The best of Bologna in a two and a half hour walking tour with a private guide.
Admire the city's beautiful arcades, declared a Unesco World Heritage Site, and discover wonderful buildings such as the Basilica of San Petronio, the fourth largest church in Italy, which houses the largest sundial in the world!

Stroll through the historic center of the city to learn about the history, culture and ancient traditions of Bologna, admiring its points of interest, such as the Statue of Neptune or the Two Towers.

At the end of the tour, you will be able to enjoy a small food tasting in the city center.
