A must do when in Bologna - A brilliant food tour and time truly flew by. We learnt about the city, the food, the wine and all with humour! We visited great places, ate very well (it’s true go with an empty stomach and do not make dinner reservations!) so pleased we did this-it made our trip to Bologna.

Best food with the best host - My only regret is that I didn’t book this tour for our first day in Bologna! Riccardo was a true gem! He was funny and he truly cared about Bologna and when someone cares so much about their city it’s infectious and makes you love the city even more. We love food tours because you get just the right about of absorbable history along with the best food and this was exactly that plus a great host. I have already recommended the tour to others and would absolutely do another one with this company. 5 stars!

Bologna food Tour - Mateo did an excellent job taking us around Bologna and tasting top of the line products. Additionally we saw sights and its history. Mateo was delightful. Bring an empty stomach. You will not go hungry.

Excellent food Tour! Everyone in our group learned something new about the food and/or about Bologna. - Mattia was very knowledgeable about the locations he took us for food and the City of Bologna! The food was delicious and his facts about the City were very helpful in understanding the history and identity of Bologna. The pacing of the tour helped to keep us hungry and Mattia’s recommendations for the foods and the cafe selections were informative and appreciated. An overall excellent tour for anyone familiar or unfamiliar with the City and the City’s food scene!

We learned lots of fun facts about Bologna and took note of many spots that we will want to revisit. We also sampled large portions of coffee, pastries, meats, cheeses, pastas and gelatos.
