    A guia Hilária foi perfeita. Com muita disposição, atenção, foco e simpatia nos levou aos principais pontos de Bologna com explicações que demonstravam o seu profundo conhecimento de história, arte e cultura local. Recomendo muito.

    The tour exceeded our expectations. The University of Bologna was fascinating. Note that we did take a break in the middle of the tour and had a refreshment. I think that every tour should include this option. It is not reasonable to think that older people can keep moving for hours on end.
