Great way to tour the old town
I had a fun time on the tour. I learned so much about the city of Bologna its history and about the people. It was such a great way to spend the morning! Harry was my guide and he was informative and very conscious of safety. Glad I did the morning tour as Bologna is a very busy city with cars and pedestrians. It was a sunday morning the same day as the formula 1 race so it was quieter than usual. But that was fine by me! Highly recommend. I walked away with a new appreciation for the town.

Bike in Bologna!
Biking around the city center (and a bit beyond) was such an enjoyable way to spend our morning! The bikes were serviceable and Harry was full of history and stories. We pinned many spots he took us to to revosit the next day.

Buzzing round Bologna on a bike
Brilliant fun seeing all the sights on a bike - great guide - some cheeky extra fun facts too. Group size was perfect and the tour cut through the heat beautifully! We booked at short notice - a great addition to our holiday

Excellent bike tour
What a great way to see a new city and to begin to understand a little about it. An excellent guide led 6 of us on a 2 hour bike tour around Bologna. Highly informative and highly recommended. Bilingual in English and Italian for our group, which worked just fine.

It's always nice to see a city through a bike tour. Was a bit of a shame I was with a bigger group and than just me. The guide knew what he was talking about, but if you asked more in depth questions you basically didnt really get an answer back. Felt he wasnt really invested into the tour
Operator response
Gentile Anne, ci dispiace molto della sua recensione. Come specificato nella scheda prodotto il tour da lei prenotato è un tour pubblico, aperto a chiunque voglia partecipare. Inoltre il bike tour pubblico, proprio perchè ha partecipanti di diverse nazionalità, ha dei ritmi diversi, non prevede delle soste molto lunghe e degli approfondimenti come ad esempio un bike tour privato permetterebbe.

Always worth a bike tour!
Enjoyable couple of hours, guide friendly and informative. A bit hectic on a Sunday with a lot of pedestrians to weave through.

A fun cycle around the streets with a knowledgable guide!
Vanessa was a fabulous guide. She took us through the side streets, and Piazzas and on cycle paths showing us the sights and giving us tips on where to go. Bikes were small city bikes with a basket in front- perfect for the occasion.
