What people are saying about Bologna

Hello, the castle and the gardens are magnificent. The queue of around 2 hours under the sun is human, to the point that when we arrive inside we are stressed, tired and we appreciate it moderately. Moreover, a little disappointment when visiting the rooms which look more like a museum in a row than 1 castle as we dream of it.

A great and welcoming local guide, really flexible and kind, and a really fun experience, made a lovely afternoon! For the price you get a great experience.

A great trip, my children are satisfied :) the driver picked us up from the hotel on time. Everything smoothly and on schedule. I recommend!

Well organized and excellent price quality: the tastings that you can do when you want are very good and easy to reach. ADVISED

People are friendly, really nice driver on everything. Really to try absolutely
