Foodies delight - Wonderful way to see the city. Our sandwich hit the spot. Enjoy tasting the balsamic and our ice cream treat was scrumptious.

Great way to get about Bologna - A great way to get round the wider city and see the sights of Bologna. It is a hop on/hop off service with commentary in multiple languages that does not disappoint. The “food tasting” is actually vouchers for 3 different local outlets” (hence the 4 instead of 5 stars). Whilst not part of the actual tour, we did use the vouchers and particularly enjoyed the gelato.

Rainy day activity - It was a nice activity to do on a rainy day. We really liked the tasting tickets that were included for lunch and dessert.

Expensive for what it was - This was a bit disappointing- the tour bus itself would have been €16 but we paid £50 for 2 of us with the “food tasting” being a voucher for 10% off vinegar, a free small ice cream and one other thing- definitely not worth the extra cost. We assumed (wrongly) that there would be a stop for the food tasting and not just vouchers

Just like any other City Bus Tour! - Just like any other City Bus Tour, but a good way to orientate yourself with the City, also the route takes in great views overlooking the city. The full route takes around 90 minutes, subject to traffic, there was ample room on the open top bus on the day we travelled. The food tasting element actually consists of being handed several vouchers for use at food outlets around the city, not sure that's what we expected, but the bus ride was ok.

To much for one hour - We saw many churches and places, but explanations one after the other were to much as there were no breaks and no stops to make a photo for example.

Not worth the $$ - This is the first Viator tour where I’ve been disappointed. I could have got the bus tour for a lot less money. There was only one food coupon and one drink (nonalcoholic) coupon. Someone met us, gave us a few details, and sent us off on our own. Definitely not worth the money.

Trip was mediocre - When I turned up for ny trip I was disappointed that I was not allowed to go upstairs on the bus due to group of school children taking precedence. Took a seat downstairs only to be asked to move from that seat to allow school children to sit together. Trip is advertised as Bus and Food Tasting and being given vouchers to go and get your own sandwich or ice cream wasn't really what I was expecting. I could have just booked the bus tour when i got to Bologna at half the price!

A rip off scam - It is a scam! Dont book this "tour". You pay extra aprox 40 euros per two persons just for someone to bring you a map for the hop on/ off bus of the city!!! The description is missleading, seems you will receive some experience, tasing, dinner..only to receive some vouchers for a piece of pizza abd a few bombons if YOU start looking for the places since they are not part of the tour. Basicaly somebody thought: if a tourist wants to plan ahead and take tickets online before arriving at the bus, than he can be fooled to pay more since he doesent really know what will receive. I am very upset to be fooled like this and hope Viator sees this abd takes down this tour. Also, i will contact Red bus hop off on toue to be adviced that some people use thier tickes to rip off tourists
