Embarking on a delightful journey to Bologna became an absolute breeze, thanks to the seamless travel package we booked with Tratoli. Our guide, punctual and informative, greeted us with a comprehensive information packet as scheduled. She expertly assisted us in navigating to our train, generously provided tips for the most enjoyable tasting experiences, responded to our inquiries, and set us up for a successful day ahead. The tour was brilliantly designed to be self-guided after the initial introduction, which perfectly suited our desire for independent exploration. For those keen on panoramic views, remember that ascending the basilica's summit does require a minor additional fee, payable on-site. This entire experience was exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to discover Bologna at their own pace.
