Great places, food, history and an expert guide. Do it! - We loved the walk through various places and aspects of Bologna’s beautiful and delicious food culture and history with Mattia, our expert guide. Not only was the food amazing, Mattia’s enthusiasm and pride along with his deep knowledge made our trip that much more memorable. We fully plan to recommend this experience and our guide to our friends. Fantastic.

Best tour in Bologna! - Best experience in Bologna! Food was wonderful and served in abundance. Everything was orchestrated perfectly by our host, Mattia, who entertained, fed, and guided his hungry flock through a fabulous tour of the food capital of Italy. What a great time!! This was the absolute best food or city tour I’ve ever taken! Don’t miss this tour- book early. Next time we are in Bologna we will take the same tour again- it’s just that great!! Thanks so much, Mattia, for a wonderful experience!

Highly recommended!!! - We had such a fun time at the Delicious Bologna tour. We enjoyed each of the stops and had a wide variety of experiences in the heart of the city center. There was plenty of wine to accompany the food as well. Riccardo was an amazing food guide! If you are someone that loves to travel for food, culture, and the people we highly recommend taking the time for this food tour at the beginning of your Bologna trip before experiencing it on your own.
