We enjoyed our tour with Sara very much. She is very knowledgeable, her English is very good and she is a very polite and nice lady. She made our visit to Bergamo very enjoyable.

After the hustle and bustle of Milan, a tour of the small towns outside of the City served as a welcome relief. Bergamo was just what the doctor ordered ! The air was clean and the streets were not congested. The old town was very inviting as there were many small streets rich with history. It was very easy to navigate the cobblestone streets filled with many shops and restaurants. However, you need a great guide to bring to life the rich history and culture of Bergamo. As a very experienced world traveler, I have met many tour guides, none as outstanding as the one we had in Bergamo. We were truly fortunate to have had the most professional, friendly and enthusiastic guide Ms. Sara Cologni lead our tour. First of all, she was truly excited about sharing with us so many new and interesting things about this wonderful medieval town. Bergamo became alive with her colorful and detailed descriptions. We were walking through history. She was very concerned with all members of the group and our safety. She reminded us to be careful when we were walking around the town. She adjusted the pace of the tour to accommodate the older members of our group. She was very patient and gladly answered all questioned posed by the group. She was a wealth of information. We saw so much and learned so much of the rich history of Bergamo. We visited the Chapel of Bergamo, the Bascilica of Santa Maria Maggiore (1137), Mausoleum of Bartollemeo Colleoni, Piazza Vecchia, Cathedral of St. Alessando and a few additional churches. Her knowledge of the town and its history was incredible. We had so much fun wandering around the historic town and had many opportunities to take photos. As we neared the end of our tour, we wanted to stay for another day thanks to the outstanding presentation of our exceptional tour guide. Without a doubt, Ms. Cologni was the BEST guide I have had in over 30 years of traveling. Visiting Bergamo is a MUST with Ms. Cologni. Bergamo is well worth spending at least a week visiting the wonderful medieval town as there is so much to see and do. It is a great place to relax and get away from the pushy and rude crowds found in Milan.
