A top class food tour with a great selection of the best that Bologna has to offer. The tour doesn't just follow the tourist routes, but takes you to the shops and producers used by the locals. Plenty to eat and drink - you won't be hungry after this tour!

Organisation wasnt the best . I would suggest to send a confirmation email a night before to every participant advising of any changes , time and place of meeting so travelers dont get lost as not all have local sim card and phone communication can be an issue . Also I would suggest to fill the whole tour with information as alot of times questions were unanswered and there were long pauses between plases that could be filled with information about the city, stories about diffirent regional producers and how it got to bologna.

We are fortunate to be able to travel a lot worldwide and have done many tours. Most are good but rarely am I moved to share my opinion outside of family and friends. This tour and guide, however, merited a rave review! The tour was informative and interesting and our guide was extremely gracious and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this experience to any traveling to the area.

From gourmet coffee to artisanal gelato, this tour was well worth the price. Wonderful group and congenial informative guide. Collecting delicacies from local establishments, while learning the origins and processing of each, then consummating the flavors in traditional osteria along with local wines made the tour a most memorable Bolognese experience.
