Bologna is a city offering a wide range of guided tour options. It appeals to lovers of history, shopaholics, foodies, art enthusiasts, and even fans of sports and luxury cars. Numerous guides and tour companies offer their services — from bus tours around the Emilia-Romagna region to shopping tours to fur factories.
City sightseeing tours around Bologna’s historic landmarks are available both individually and in groups of 5 to 10 people. Naturally, the cost of tours in Bologna varies: from 60 EUR per person per hour to 80 EUR per group per hour. Everything depends on the duration and complexity of the itinerary.
City center sightseeing tours are the most popular and numerous. There are also themed tours that uncover lesser-known chapters of the city’s history, such as a tour along the longest porticoes in the world (the city has around 40 km of porticoes — covered arcades on the ground floors of buildings).
Bologna is becoming increasingly popular among tourists, so finding a tour guide is not difficult. Tourists are also drawn to out-of-town excursions to fur factories near Bologna and to the Ferrari car factory. Visiting the Ferrari Museum is especially popular among men. This tour also includes a test drive of these supercar models.
Special attention is given to the city’s younger guests. There are dedicated tour programs adapted specifically for children’s perception.
