Sara,
We had an amazing experience from cafe and Croissants pasta picnic with wine and gelato and a wonderful tour guide. I will tell everyone at American Airlines. I can’t wait to come back
Grazie mille 😄👏🏻🍷
Wonderful (and filling) tour!

Wonderful tour! Benedetta was our lovely and knowledgeable guide and showered us with both amazing food options and fascinating information about the food and history of Bologna. We enjoyed every moment of this experience and would highly recommend it. Do it early in your visit to the city of Bologna as it will give you ideas/inspiration for other activities to do on subsequent days of your time here.
Fun and full!

Sara was our guide, and she was so kind, knowledgeable, and fun. My mom and I SO enjoyed our food and city tour, and walked away very happy and full!! Thank you, Sara!
Fascinating culture & cuisine

Our guide (Benedetta) was enthusiastic and clearly passionate about the food culture in Bologna! She included lots of historical information, and made the city & its culture come alive. The food was amazing, and we were very full by the end. I highly recommend this as one of the best tours ever!
Delicious but not a great value

Great experience. Food was delicious, but certainly not close to the amount and variety we expected for the price we paid. We filled up mostly on bread towards the end of the tour. It would have been better if we had eaten less bread and had more of a variety. We had cappuccino and pastries to start the tour. The. We watched pasta being made. We had a small plate before walking a bit more. We had bread, meat, and cheese and got to try some authentic balsamic vinegar before a final gelato stop. In all, I think the food would have cost $30 to 40 for one person. I think $80 to $100 would be a fairer price for the experience.
Average food tour

Overall an average experience but found it somewhat informal. The final stop with a picnic-like feel and more designed for students was disappointing and would have preferred a proper dining experience at a restaurant, rather than our guide providing the food in plastic containers over a refectory type table. Also, no chance to try cooked tortellini/tortelloni which surely is one of Bologna's claims to fame. Overall tour was decent but average and too informal and i had a better food tour with a different company a few years ago.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Hi Debjani,
I'm very sorry you weren't completely satisfied with your experience.
We decided not to visit a proper restaurant for lunch because Bologna was (and still is) a city of taverns and osterie where everybody could share the same table and food. Students and lawyers, old men and politicians together in a friendly atmosphere.
About the pasta you had gramigna: less famous than tortellini and tortelloni but not less delicious :)
I hope you can give us another chance in the future.
Take care and see you soon in Bologna,
Andrea - Taste Bologna
PS. we only offer food in recyclable paper, never plastic :)
Excellent

The tour was excellent. The food was lovely and the guide was very knowledgeable, about food and the city. I definitely recommend.

Guide was very friendly, engaging and informatibe about food and the city in general. It was apparent that our guide had a good personal relationship with all of the vendors at the shops we visited. Take this tour if you get a chance.
Does what it says on the tin!
