Fab your - Excellent guide - really good value and made new friends on the way ! Food was excellent and the tour guide was flexible to all our needs

Highly Recommend - The tour was wonderful. We learned a lot about Bologna and it’s foods along with the wonderful architecture. Highly recommend.

Appreciation for Quality of Food in Bologna - Our guide Benedetta was excellent. Our group learned so much about the food of Bologna. We gain such an appreciation for the quality and the history of food in Italy and specifically Bologna. I enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bologna.

Fabulous experience - Christina was our guide and her knowledge of her city is fantastic. The three places that she took us to sample the delights of Bologna was perfect. Highly recommended friendly knowledgeable and would definitely recommend to all English speakers to come and learn more about this wonderful city.

Fabulous Cristina! - The guide, Cristina, was absolutely fabulous!! Highly recommend her! Very knowledgeable, friendly, great personality. It was my absolute luck that i was the only person on the tour.

Good tour - Great guide, very knowledgeable and kind. Only critique is I would have liked to sample one more typical Bologna tastings such as mortadella, tortellini in brodo (it came in a cream sauce instead), or parmesan. The tastings we had were very good and we were full by the end.

Brilliant Bologna - An amazing taste of the produce that comes from Emilia Romana, beautiful balsamic, incredible tigelle with Ragu and to finish some of the best gelato in bologna. It's a perfect way to explore the city

A fun introduction to the city - Great tour! We got to walk around the city and learn done of it's history while trying various foods. We got to try tigelle with ragu, tortellini, parmigiano reggiano, and different types of aged balsamic (my favorite). The tour guide was friendly and helpful!

Great guide, abundantly average food. - I found the guide to be amazing - I would love to learn more about the city from Emilia, who seems to know everyone in the historic city center. That said, I was very underwhelmed by the food part of the tour, which was the point for me. It felt like we went to very very average locations, and I thought the tortellini tasted like it came from a package. Wouldn’t recommend to people who want to be guided to good food in the city.

Disappointing Focus on Coupons over Cuisine - As a seasoned food adventurer (Bangkok, Taipei, Seoul, Madrid, Oaxaca, etc), I love a food tour to introduce me to a new culture through their food! While I've consistently had amazing experiences (all 5-star!), this Bologna food tour was sadly unpleasant. Knowing the decision fatigue of choosing tours, especially in Italy's food capital, I felt compelled to share my experience to help fellow travelers. A Slow Start and Missed Opportunities The tour began at Piazza Maggiore with some historical tidbits, but a whole hour passed before our first bite! We then arrived at the vibrant Quadrilatero market, where we were offered Tigelle with ragu...as coupons for later! We were all hungry, so naturally, we opted to eat then. Next came the balsamic vinegar tasting. Unfortunately,as explained by our guide, because we chose to eat at the prior stop rather than take the coupons for later, another group jumped ahead. The wait wasn't filled with history or information, just awkward small talk. The tasting itself lacked detail – just age statements (one bottle even ran out!). Luckily, a fellow traveller had recently done a balsamic tour and shared their balsamic knowledge. Coupons & Confusion Following the vinegar, we received more coupons – this time for gelato! It felt like these "try-later" options detracted from the food tour experience of actually trying and learning about food! Finally, we reached a restaurant with a stunning terrace view of the Two Towers. Here, we had a small portion of lukewarm Tortellini with Parmesan cream. While the view was lovely, the food itself felt underwhelming, especially considering the lack of earlier tastings. Disorganized Distractions Overall, the focus on food history, interesting tips, and food exploration was minimal. The guide's information, though potentially interesting, felt disjointed and often strayed from food or the tour itself. Travel anecdotes can be charming, but here, the disorganization became distracting. Recommendation: Look Elsewhere Sadly, I can't recommend this tour. Perhaps it was an off day, but with so many other options, I wouldn't risk it. This was so poor that I felt I needed to ask for a partial refund, which was declined. This tour simply didn't deliver the delicious cultural immersion I crave. Food lovers, explore your options and find a tour that truly celebrates the food capital of Bologna.
