This is one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! Mattia was our guide and the founder of the tour company. He was amazing and knowledgeable giving a thorough history of Bologna’s unique cuisine as well as some of the historic sites in the city’s centre. There were multiple food stops which were all curated to ensure an authentic culinary experience that an ordinary traveller would not achieve on their own. This was simply amazing and we highly recommend it!
A must in bolognia

Mattia was great. Learned a lot of history of Bologna and history of food in the area. He walked us between courses so we’d have enough room for the delicious food he provided. I especially like each of the out of the way places he selected to take us. No tourists… just really great food… all within walking distance.
Great tour!!!
Fun and delicious food...

Riccardo was an absolute gem. Superbly knowledgeable, excited and enthusiastic he made the tour. Food, history and great information across a wide range of topics. Post the tour I feel like I don’t even need a balsamic or Parmesan trip as he already covered them off in such detail! We did a ton of food tours across Europe and this was the highlight. Thank you!!
We had a great experience...

Wonderful tour with tasting and history. Riccardo was our fantastic host. In about 5 hours he showed us some of the most important touristic spots of Bologna as well as took us to many different places where we could taste the wonders of the regional gastronomy - from coffee to mortadela to tortellini to gelatto. A must do experience.
We definetely recommend! Bravo Riccardo!!!!
Great food tour of an amazing city!

Mattia was a great tour guide! He was knowledgeable, funny, and great to talk to. The places we stopped at were authentic and the food was very good at each one. I especially loved the salumeria we went to. I also liked that he included information about the city’s history and architecture, it wasn’t just a food tour (though I’m not sure what’s more important than food!)
Highly recommend!

Really a great tour! The tour guide owns his company and this is all he does so you don’t get farmed off to a first time tour guide. He has eight years of experience doing the tour and has great connections with local purveyors and restaurants. We bag an with coffee and croissants at a cute coffee shot that roasts their own beans. Next was a stop to watch pasta being made and a short tour of the historic area. Then we had a charcuterie and cheese tasting with a tasting of balsamic vinegars in front of an awesome salumeria. We made our way to a restaurant where we tasted three typical bolognese pastas. Then a stop for a typical appetizer and finally some amazing gelato. It’s all included in the price and there is plentiful wine with the tasting and lunch. Awesome value and awesome experience! He even sends out recommendations after the tour. The best part is it’s limited to eight people per tour! We loved it!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
