Visiting Bologna? Start here! - We highly recommend this tour to any foodie, particularly if they are on a short visit to Bologna who; 1) Need to quickly find out what's good in the city, and 2) want to dig just a little bit deeper into city life than the usual sight-seeing tours
We had a wonderful tour with our host Jasmin, who was full of knowledge about the city and good fun. She took us to an excellent and different venue for each course, and all were delicious!
Take this tour - You won't regret it!

Great way to see the city and taste beautiful food - We had a lovely time in our tour, our guide Domenico was great and all the food tasting incredible! I highly recommend it for someone who doesn't know where to go or what food to try, we were able to go to different restaurants and taste plates we otherwise would have never found.

Perfect blend of history on Bologna and delicious food - My 75 year old mom, 33 year old niece and I had a wonderful walking and eating tour with Leonardo. We got lucky and basically had a "private" tour on Saturday, December 27th. It was such a nice intro to Bologna and places off the beaten path. Leonardo gave us a perfect blend of history on Bologna and delicious food. One tip, don't eat before you go. We were definately full after. We highly recommend this tour and Leonardo.

Bologna evening sights, food and wine walking tour. - Leonardo is a good host. Easy to listen to and a bit of fun thrown in. It is a good way to see parts of the city one might otherwise not get to. Lots of local food and drinks and overall a worthwhile experience. A very pleasant evening in Bologna and highly recommended.

Not Oscar Meyer Bologne!! - Guilia was very friendly and did a good job! We went to 4 different locations to try Parmesan cheese, a charcuterie board and wine, lasagna and wine and finished with gelato! She shared some stories in between and she was very easy to talk to! Thank you Guila for a fun experience! We wish you the very best!!
