• Buyer beware! Overpriced and lacking value

  Buyer beware! This tour in an of itself is fine but the real issue is the cost. The 3rd party operator, "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. for starters, the actual "City Red Bus" costs €16 each, thus €32. Then, the "guide" was literally nothing more than a woman who met us below the Galvani statue in Piazza Galvani, greeted us, handed us a map, along with 2 food vouchers (more on that in a moment), 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 and otherwise all was done via headset, which, depending on your language, is more advantageous anyway. Then, these vouchers were for literally 1 smallest sized gelato each (it was very good, I will admit), which otherwise costs €3 each. The other vouchers were for 1/2 of a pre-selected piadina (there were 2 choices on the voucher), which was also very good but very little in terms of actual size. The actual whole piadina itself costs €8.5. So the grand total for all of this is €46.50. Clearly this does not add up at all. Now, had there been a more personalized experience with either of the "guides", I might have been a bit more satisfied. But given what it was and the fact that other passengers on that City Res Bus simply walked on and paid €16 each on the spot reaffirms that this package is ridiculously overpriced. I do recommend the City Red Bus because you will cover lots of ground and the audio guide is decent. I do NOT however, recommend using "Get Your Guide" whatsoever. They are the scammers here. Shame on them for offering this overpriced joke of a package. Once again, BUYER BEWARE!

  

  

  

• Buy Tickets at the Bus Stop Without Food Coupons

  The tour was ok. It’s best to just take a seat and stay on for the hour. You should buy your ticket at the bus stop where there are people selling at a table without the “food box” because you pay a lot of money for a box of coupons that you have to go on a scavenger hunt to find. Lots of cured meat sandwich coupons at Pakistani restaurants. Several seemed annoyed to redeem the coupon.

  The bus tour is fine if you just get on for the hour then get off where you started. The food “box” is actually a box of coupons in which you have to kind of go on a scavenger hunt to find these places. Most of the restaurants are Pakistani and several seem annoyed when you show them the coupons but you will get your fill of those cured meat sandwiches. You can get tickets much cheaper by just going to the bus stop and not include the coupons, which in my opinion, are not worth it.

  We were the last to be seated and we had to sit up front with no way of seeing any sites. We saw our reflection in the dirty windows. There was no one to point out the sites and had to rely on the ear buds provided. Included a hop on hop off but driver never notified us of any stops and we went completely around Bologna not stopping and not knowing what we were seeing. The vouchers we got in a single packet was for 4 of us but we only got one voucher for one of the foods. Had no way of knowing where the food places were anyway, they were mentioned when we were handed our single packet but we’re from the states so a little pointing would have helped. The bus fumes were caustic. Don’t waist your money on this tour which was 16 euro directly from the bus co without food coups. Btw the food coupons were a gelato here, a fried something over another place, etc.

  My tip with this tour is its just "ok". Do not buy the extra "food tastings". I assumed more than just coupons. The regular tour comes with a few coupons-very basic choices but good enough to try a few things. The "extra tastings" option is just more basic coupons-we were only in Balogna a few hours. No chance to use more than 2 as we were Indy there for the afternoon. I expected alot different. Then the bus got stuck behind a broken down car. The host suggested getting out to walk around. So what did we pay for? Luckily the bus was able to keep movng to finish tour. Interesting city-hop on/off is a nice feature-coupon option not worth it.

  The On/Off bus was a great deal. It only €16. But we paid over €36 for the 'foodie tour' which in the end was a.voucher for a local sandwich bar where you could only have a focaccia with Mortadella or mozzarella with a drink and an ice cream at a local gelateria. Just by the on/off ticket. The 'foodie tour' is not particularly foodie or a tour

  Just buy the double-decker bus tour, which is much cheaper than this “tour.” All they do is meet you near the bus, hand you your ticket for the bus, and a couple of vouchers for some “free” food items. Then they leave you! Don’t be scammed. If you want to do the double-decker bus tour - which I DO recommend - but it from the bus directly. We paid over double for a worthless food voucher.

  Chaotic set up, very brief intro by the person who met us at the meeting point. We did one circle around town, and then they went on a break. Never hopped back on. Instead we walked across town to the 3 food spots we had received vouchers for. Ice cream was very good, so were small lasagna bites. Pizza place was very nice, close to a train station (we headed there next). We only came for a day, so it was fine, but to truly spend time and get to know the town, this was insufficient. Expect pre- recorded description of the buildings passing by, no context or extra information. Many of us were confused. There was a girl (guide?) on the bus, but she sat with the driver in a closed off space up front the whole time. Glad we did not spend much money here.
