Amazing experience to taste bologna - This was an excellent tour to get a taste of bologna! Sonia was an amazing guide and was extremely accommodating to the various dietary restrictions that my husband and I had. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to try out all the food that bologna has to offer! The tour included cheeses, meats, breads, pastas and gelato

Delicious - Great way to become familiar with the food in the area and where to find them. The places are all in the same area, but you walk around the different blocks to four different locations and take in the atmosphere in the market. A real Italian market feeling! I learned quite a bit about real Italian pasta and cheese.

Amazing food tour of Bologna!! - I highly recommend this tour to anyone!! I previously studied abroad in Bologna so I was back visiting, but even though I knew the city well, I still learned new things and tried food I never tried before! I was a solo traveler so it was really nice to meet other people and share meals with them. Our tour guide, Sonia, was incredible. She was so kind and answered all of our questions and was wonderful to talk to. I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful this experience was!

Great pasta making experience! - Really great experience. We made fresh pasta and was taken through every step at just the right pace. Valentina was a brilliant host, very welcoming and knowledgable! If you want to learn how to make pasta from scratch and get a really authentic Italian experience, you must do this! Highly recommended!

Yummy tour of Bologna - Was a great way to taste the different foods from the Bologna region. Our tour guide Roberta gave a great explanation of the origins of the different foods. We were definitely not hungry after the tour had ended.
