Bologna drinks and bites - Luca was a wonderful extremely knowledgeable guide who shared so much history and information about the food and drinks in Bologna. He also provided a wealth of follow up information which was so valuable during our stay. Bologna is a beautiful fascinating town to visit.

Wine and bites in Bologna - Frederik had so much knowledge about his incredible city and shared very interesting and fun facts. We toured the old markets, city center and got a great perspective of Bologna and its history. The bites were amazing and really highlighted the quality of the food in Bologna! I highly recommend this tour with Frederik!!

Great time! - Marco was an amazing tour lead! We arrived from Florence and didn’t have anything planned for our travel day. We quickly saw Marco’s available wine and small bites and so about we did! He went out of his way to accommodate our dietary needs and took us to great local spots. Highly recommend Marco and thanks for the great time!

Night lift and bites tour Bologna - Frederick was a true historian of the city he grew up in and loves, and did an excellent job between history, a fantastic food tasting and showing us some great night life spots near the university. A lot of fun, thank you!

Gioia was a great guide... - Gioia was a great guide and took care of us throughout the tour, showing us different places to go to and letting us experience Bologna's specialties with bites of food and drinks in each spot. We ended up at a wine bar at the end of our tour, enjoyed each other's company beyond the tour, and got to know Gioia personally. We wish the best of luck to her and her endeavors! Definitely do this tour in the late afternoon/evening or around dinner time. It was great to see the area come alive and be a part of the Bologna night scene.

Amazing afternoon! - It was so nice! Sarah showed us places we never would have found before, and the walk through Bologna was so fun and interesting. Sarah knows a lot about Bologna so that was very nice! Also, she knows a lot about the wines and goods. She took us to the best cheese shop and bakery and we had some of Bologna’s best local foods together. We had such a great experience, I would definitely recommend this to everybody!!! She also gave a lot of tips for local restaurants and bars to eat, and even made the reservation for us, very helpful. Thankyou sarah!

Amazing! - Mauro is a very knowledgeable and very nice guide. He knows a lot about the city and has fantastic little stories - not only about the food but the city itself. We tasted amazing food and he even showed us some non-food places when he found out we haven't visited them yet. He is very easy to talk to and overall a very nice guy! We had a great experience with him and highly recommend to book the tour with him.

Expensive for what we saw - This tour was good if you are not expecting to visit more than one establishment. Frederick was very knowledgeable about the city and very pleasant. However, we were expecting to see a few different restaurants/eateries. The one he chose was excellent. We had two glasses of wine; one white and one red —truly awesome wines and delicious lasagna as well as yummy Italian meats. Personally, we thought the establishment was great, the food and wine were excellent, but were expecting different restaurants to get a better feel for the city, as advertised. Essentially, $140 per person was steep for visiting one place.

Not as advertised or represented - Frederik was very nice and shared history but we didn’t receive the experience advertised. He repeated that he was going off script but would provide better quality. We did enjoy what he arranged for us to eat at his friend’s small shop. Better quality? How would we possibly know. We certainly didn’t receive value. We spent 5 nights in Venice immediately before arriving in Bologna and ate wonderfully for far less than this tour. We didn’t each receive 3 glasses of wine or much in the way of exposure to Bologna’s food and wine culture. Furthermore, Frederik didn’t partake at all, which wr thought was weird for a food tour and unlike any previous food tours we’ve been on. We enjoyed Frederik’s company but this tour was terribly overpriced for what we got.
