    About the ride

    If you're craving a mix of medieval beauty, rich food culture, and vibrant city life, this Bologna ride from Florence delivers it all. Discover one of Italy’s most authentic cities, less touristy than Rome or Venice, but just as historic and flavorful.

    - Fully Customizable & Private – Your driver is happy to adjust timing and stops based on your preferences.

    - Pickup and dropoff included with a professional, English-speaking driver.

    Your ride begins with pickup from your hotel in Florence, followed by a comfortable drive through the Tuscan-Emilian hills toward Bologna.

    Start your exploration with 1Piazza Maggiore, the city's grand central square framed by the Basilica of San Petronio and medieval palaces. It's the perfect place to get your bearings and snap your first photos.

    Next, continue to 2Le Due Torri (Asinelli & Garisenda), the famous leaning towers of Bologna, Asinelli and Garisenda. For those up for the climb (and with tickets in hand), the top of the Asinelli Tower offers unbeatable panoramic views of the red-hued city below.

    No visit is complete without passing through 3The Portico di San Luca, the endless medieval porticos that stretch through the old town. These UNESCO-listed arcades are not only unique to Bologna—they make wandering the city a delight in any season.

    Finally, take your time to browse 4Quadrilatero Market, Bologna’s buzzing food market district. Here, you can enjoy free time to sample handmade tortellini, fresh mortadella, or sip a rich espresso in the city known as the gastronomic heart of Italy.

    After your stroll and meal, your driver will take you back to Florence through the scenic Apennine countryside.

    Please note: Tickets for attractions and meals are not included in the price.

    Expand

    Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

    Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

    What happens after I book?

    Once you complete your booking you will receive a confirmation email. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at [email protected] for any specific questions regarding your booking.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Any cancelation that is requested up to 24 hours prior to the operation time is entitled to a refund of 80%  

    In case of cancellation in less than 24 hours prior to the operation time or in case of no-show of the customer, you are not eligible for any form of refund. 

    Will there be an official tour guide?

    An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective. Although the drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of visit, at no point can they be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in depth information regarding historic facts and information. If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

    Do I need to be in a good physical shape?

    The drivers are trained to adapt the experience depending on the type of participants. Whether you have kids or elders participating, the drivers know exactly how to handle special requests and provide an enjoyable experience accordingly.

    Can I bring my luggage with me?

    Yes, you’re absolutely welcome to bring your luggage along during your experience. Just make sure to mention the number of suitcases in the notes section when booking. This helps us assign the right vehicle so everything fits comfortably and there are no issues on the day.
