Knowledgeable and super enthusiastic guide. Took us to Nicola D'archo's masterwork at end of tour. Remarkable......................................

Fabulous tour. Well worth the cost. Riccardo has an incredible depth of knowledge of the history of this area. He is a great teacher and communicator. A pleasure to spend the day with. He has a very unique view that skillfully intertwines art, history and food. We would definitely hire Riccardo when we return to Bologna.

Ricardo is full of information and passion for his city and its treasures. He speaks fluent English, is personable and really wants his clients to come away with more appreciation for the art and history of Bologna. If you are looking for the typical “walk from building to building “ with a little information, this may not be your tour. If you want to be immersed in special treasures and history of Bologna, Ricardo is the best!!

I booked my tour based on an online art appreciation course. I was anxious to see it all in situ. Bologna is amazing 👏 Riccardo Bacchi is a brilliant guide, keeping me interested and intrigued for the entire day. I

Ricardo is an excellent guide and a fount of information and historical context. He showed us things we would have never found on our own and was so gracious and attentive with our questions and comments. The mosaics of Ravenna are a wonder. The mosaics of Ravenna with Ricardo are spectacular! Thank you Ricardo.

I learned so much about the Byzantine mosaics on this tour and the mosaics are amazing to look at. Riccardo certainly knew the history.

Hands down … best tour we have ever been on. Riccardo is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history, architecture, art, and cuisine of Bologna, surrounding regions, and Europe in general. He will personalize your tour and show you not only the usual sights but also the hidden gems that no one else knows about. Riccardo genuinely loves the place he calls home and this is what sets his tour apart from all others. If you want to enjoy learning and understand the millennia of history that surround you in this beautiful city, this is the tour for you. Grazie Riccardo!!

Very informative. An excellent history lesson while exploring the areas I may have visited but not understood. The tour of the markets was an added benefit.

What an amazing wealth of information and passion for Bologna. The guide gave an extensive history of the city and we sampled truly local specialties. I highly recommend.

Riccardo, our guide, was full of information about the art, history and buildings he showed us, some of which tourists don’t usually see. He was friendly, engaging and passionate about these subjects. Very good guide!

The most amazing experience and fascinating facts I had learned so much about art, history, music, and food unique to Bologna. Riccardo is great at pointing out all of the hidden gems and explaining everything so easy to understand Highly recommended!

Ricardo is a very likable and enthusiastic guy, and clearly an expert in Bologna's history and arts. We had a great time with him and visited some truly beautiful places. We recommend his services wholeheartedly!!! He even sent us recommendations for the next day! Do not hesitate and hire Riccardo. You won't be disappointed.

Riccardo is an outstanding guide. Knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. Our tour lasted more than 3 hours and the time flew by. We learned many things that were not in our guide book. Highly recommended.

Riccardo was an absolute joy! Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and determined to share every bit of his beloved city with us. We enjoyed the experience tremendously and enthusiastically recommend his tours to you.

Absolutely a wonderful tour through the highlights of the central city. Riccardo Bacchi was an outstanding guide and highly recommended.
