Fun Food Guide w/ Giuseppe - Giuseppe was thoughtful & a very knowledgeable host on our food tour. We enjoyed learning about the local food and traditions of Bologna as well as food & drink customs in other regions. He was friendly & made you feel very welcome. Great idea to do on the first day, as it introduced us to Bologna, the typical food, walking around the Piazza Maggiore, and areas it helped introduce Bologna to us. Mom, 18 yr son & 23 yr daughter. They loved it!!

Tasty historical tour - Paolo was an incredible guide who is truly passionate about both the history and preservation of the food in Bologna. We had only one day to explore and this tour gave us a wonderful taste of his beautiful city. He encouraged questions and left us with a list of recommendations .

A wonderful your of Bologna--and some great food along the way! - Luca met us at the time we'd designated and gave us a short history of Bologna before taking us around the historical center to see the amazing towers, porticos and Churches of the city. He took us several places to taste a little bit of everything from balsamic vinegar to gelato --we could barely move by the end of the evening! Luca is a great conversationalist and it felt like having dinner with a friend.

Experience Bologna with the best - Our day with Marco was easily the highlight of our time spent in Bologna-the food capital of Italy. After our tour, I can see why many would consider him to be the mayor of this fine town as he was greeted throughout our time with him by countless well-wishers. His expertise of the food/wine offered in this area was only surpassed by his charm and humble nature. My bride and I will highly value our time spent with this remarkable man.

Great tour for a quick walk around the city with some amazing food - Giuseppe made our tour a wonderful experience and I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. He is very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. Besides the great food choices he also showed us some great historical spots along the way and even had recommendations for places we could go to later if we wanted more time to explore the city.

Disappointed foodies - We learnt a lot about the history of Bologna and the unique food that the city offers. The tour of the Seven Sisters church was also a highlight. Unfortunately our guide was running late due to an overrun on his previous tour and seemed under enormous pressure throughout the tour. Perhaps that is why we not tasted 3 foods instead of the advertised 6 foods.
