Overview

Bologna is home to one of the best cuisines in Italy—where favorites like tortellini and were created—but it can be a challenge for travelers to find down-to-earth meals in the restaurant circuit.  With this tour, a guide takes you to at least half a dozen restaurants and cafes serving dishes away from the tourists. It’s an immersion in local gastronomy with pasta, salumi, pizza, wine, and gelato.
  • A guide takes you to family-run restaurants and cafes away from tourists
  • Value: make up to six stops for food, dessert, and wine
  • Let someone else plan breakfast and lunch for a day
  • This small-group tour is designed to offer a more personal experience

A half-day of exploring...
Odette_T
, Jan 2022
A half-day of exploring the back alleys of the city and finding the hidden gems that only locals know about was an added bonus to our vacation. Along the way, we were shown local sights, the history behind them, and how they affected the city's growth over the centuries. All of the restaurants that we visited were amazing and the nap after our breakfast, brunch, lunch, second lunch, a quick snack was well deserved. It is key to do this tour the first few days you're in Bologna (if you're staying awhile). Mattia was great by sending an email with a "few" more recommended places to eat, so you're left with a great foodie list for the remainder of your stay!

Matias was excellent and took us to a few different places where we tasted the traditional food as we also walked around the city discovering interesting facts about some of the historic spots. Really liked the fact that the group was small, there were 6 of us only (and he said his maximum are 8) so it's pretty much a private experience!
