Great tour - Giada was fantastic not only did we learn about the food of Bologna but also the history and culture. As we walked around she pointed out some of the amazing buildings. We all enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you Giada

"More"-tadella please! - This was such a fun tour, that the 3 hours went by in a flash! Before anything else, we were so thankful to be accepted despite it turning out that we were the only two on this tour, as tours in the past for us have been canceled due to this! Also, it is asked if anyone has food allergies or preferences! Euge being a tour guide, but also as well as a professor, it was clear from the get-go that his energy, enthusiasm, knowledge and personal anecdotes for the city and food scene was going to leave a lasting impression for our visit there. It also meant he invited questions about anything food related or city related, as he's passionate to answer as if we were one of his students/friends! On top of the delicious food in various contexts of the city scene, different cuisines, the city is rich with history, architecture, and important figures, and Euge shared his knowledge there as well, making for a well rounded experience. He also sent us a bolognese recipe that we'll definitely going to try. Since we were the only ones on the tour he was able to show us more locations like the local markets and offer in depth knowledge about the local food.

Fun, filling, and with extra flair! - I booked through an agency, Liberty International, amd the tour was not only delicious, but also well-paced, fun, informative, amd FILLING! This was lunch and dinner for us! Our guide, Eugenio, was fantastic and even offered additional insight to help us learn how to identify and buy (on our own time) the best Italian local products. He also helped us find a shop for our guormet kitchen tool supplies so that we can make pastas at home. We are so grateful! I recommend this tour and Eugenio!

So fun and learned so much from Giada! - We had an amazing time with Giada!! She helped us skip the line for all restaurants that were packed with people and we learned so much food and cultural history about Bologna! An incredibly memorable experience with an amazing tour guide. She also shared her experience traveling around the world doing volunteer work before becoming a food guide :) We learned so much by meeting a local guide like her.

The best of Bologna cuisine in a nutshell - What an incredible way to experience the culinary delights of Bologna and learn a little about the history of this beautiful city. The tour is well worked out with visits to a number of iconic food spots. The food was outstanding, with every stop showcasing the best of Bologna cuisine. Our guide, Erica, was so knowledgeable and, as a local Bolognese, passionate about the city, its people and, most importantly, its food. I would highly recommend this experience!

An awesome food experience! - Giada was a great tour guide and made our food experience fun and informative. She seemed to embody the best of Bologna - smart, chic, and welcoming. Oh, right, the food: it’s incredible. Bolognese cuisine can be on the heavy side (I recommend skipping breakfast so you can have room for it all), but it will change you. The lasagne! The tagliatelle! The vino!! I could go on and on. We’d happily do it again.
