Great Tour!

Bologna tour was a bunch of bologna
KEVIN_W

The first tour I booked was cancelled. Then the tour operator reached out to me, asking me to rebook because they had TWO other people who wanted to go on the tour. I rebooted.
They gave the directions to meet "right past" a hotel, but did not give an address, the name of the business we were meeting at, or even a landmark like "Meet under the big tree." It was obvious. When I couldn't find them, they directed me to ring a bell outside of a locked gate of a bicycle shop.
Once inside, the guide asked the woman behind the counter of the bike shop for headsets so we could hear her, as it was a loud and busy day in the city. She said there were none available, although there were 3 on the counter, enough for our group totally 3 people.
So the tour guide said we would have to be close to be able to hear here - great practice during Covid.
Then the woman behind the counter made us sign a contract or waiver of some kind. In all of my years of tours, I have never had to sign anything, and I've done private tours of the Sistine Chapel. Odd.
The group had 4 more people added on. They were Italian-speaking. So when we finally left 20 minutes late, the tour guide spent 70% of the time speaking Italian to them and the rest of the time kind of talking to us. Yes, she said to speak up if we had any questions but I don't buy tours to simply ask questions, I go on tours to learn the presented materials. I'm touring because I'm new to a place and i want to learn what is relevant.
The guide did take us to key places and told us about them. However, I didn't hear most of it and most of the time was spent waiting for her to talk to the other group. She had to do everything twice, once for each language, so I can't imagine either group got the experience they were supposed to have.
The tour ended 20 minutes late. Afterwards, the tour operator texted me, saying she needed more information from me. Email, address, etc. I told her I signed up and paid through Viator and they should have what they need.
Then they wrote me through a different app, asking for the same. Apparently they didn't have me fill out part of the form. They continued to ask me for it until I stopped responding. I sure do hope I didn't cause them any inconvenience.
I told them the experience wasn't what I paid for - especially paying for an English tour, when they just doubled up to make more money. Ridiculous. They apparently refunded me. But that's not what reviews are about.
I'll say something positive. If you buy this tour and have the same experience as me, maybe they will refund you.
By the way, I've used Viator many times and this is the only negative review I have ever left. In fact, I can't remember leaving a negative review anywhere for years.
The tour was fabulous. ...

Our tour guide Francesco Antonelli was wonderful!! He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, he also made the tour fun! This was not your typical tour where you stand in the main square and hear a speech, Francesco takes you off the beaten path, before you arrive at Bologna’s treasures. We highly recommend this tour!
Excellent tour

Adriana was a great guide. Telling us interesting stories and answering all
our questions showing great knowledge of history and literature. We particularly enjoyed seeing the canals and the Jewish ghetto. Places we would have missed on our own.

Bolonia merece una visita
FRANCISCO_H
, Aug 2021
Antes que nada, quiero destacar la seriedad de la empresa, que siguió adelante con la visita aunque solo estábamos mi hija y yo para ese turno. También la amabilidad y profesionalidad de nuestro guía, Giuseppe, con lo cual tuvimos visita privada. Bolonia es una ciudad con muchos encantos, como los soportales, la plaza mayor, las torres. También tiene un comercio muy activo. En resumen, una actividad muy interesante al conocer muchos sitios que seguramente no hubiéramos visto por nuestra cuenta. Muchas gracias, Giuseppe!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
