I have spent an exciting morning with Lorenza in Bologna together with my family. We visited some of the most interesting objectives of the old city, enjoying Lorenza’s stories which only a local can know. If you want to learn about “children of the wheel”, “penguin priests”, “Galvani’s book” or how the portico’s appeared, then do not hesitate to contact Lorenza and she will entertain you with her vast knowledge and great sense of humor!

We toured il Duomo, la Galleria, il Castello Sforza and l‘Ultima Cena on the last day before closing because of the corona virus. We were lucky. Our guide, Fedra was fantastic: provided detailed background information to each and every point: always factual, and humorous, when appropriate. She was also helpful with general information, on other points of interest (Bosco Verticale!), with dining recommendations, with suggestions for our remaining time in Milano. She was certainly also responsible for the bright sunshine, and for the fantastic Italian blue sky. Our time was limited, so we decided to come back to see the rest! Thank you Raphael Tours!

The most incredible train ride of my life!!! Giovanni was such an amazing tour guide that really went out of his way to show us around. The train ride itself through the Swiss Alps was breathtaking. I will most certainly come back and do it again.
