Bologna: Open Bus City Tour with Authentic Local Food Tasting

Basically, it was just get on the Hop On Hop Off City Bust with a number of food vouchers provided by this host. They gave us an incorrect meeting point to begin with. We were expecting to meet a bus and we were supposed to meet a young woman with a small light blue sign instead. This was never described in the meeting point. The host did not go with us. We were quite disappointed with this entire situation.

Per quanto riguarda il pullman è stata una buona esperienza. Per quanto riguarda il vocher di indegno la crescentina 2.0 invece, arrivati li 5 minuti prima della chiusura, sono stati molto scortesi dato che siamo andati a ridosso dell’orario di chiusura, inoltre c’è stato un dibattito tra i commessi se oltre al voucher dovevamo acquistare altro cibo oppure no, abbiamo acquistato altro e ci è stato intimato di uscire alle 15 in punto. Cibo buono ma personale scortese, sicuramente non ci ritorneremo

Buyer beware! This tour in an of itself is fine but the real issue is the cost. "Get Your Guide", charges way more than what the actual tour is worth when broken down into its components. I paid $97.72 USD for 2 people, which converts to €83.86. The actual "City Red Bus" costs €16 each, thus €32. Then, the "guide" was literally nothing more than a woman who greeted us, handed us a map, along with 2 food vouchers, and then accompanied us to the City Red Bus and handed us off to the bus driver and guide. The bus guide said maybe 5 words the entire 1 hour tour (there were decent audioguides offered). Then, these vouchers were for literally 1 smallest sized gelato each which costs €3 each. The other vouchers were for 1/2 of a pre-selected piadina. A whole piadina costs €8.5. Grand total = €46.5. That is not even close to what I paid, for next to no actual "guide" or service. Do NOT book with Get Your Guide. DIY and save almost €40!
