Arrive Hungry! - The tour was exceptional! Everything we had a chance to sample was delicious. Our guide Eugenio did a great job explaining the history of the food in Bologna and was able to have us sample a little bit of everything in a short amount of time. Highly recommend this to anyone passing through.

Bologna Food and Culture tour - We were toured by Valentina, she was so amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the food culture and history of Bologna. She was so fun to talk to and so nice. She spent as much time with us as we needed, even though it was longer than the amount she was supposed to spend with us. Loved Valentina and would recommend her to anyone. We asked her many many questions and she answered each one eagerly.

Tasty and interesting food tour - On this food tour there was just 2 of us. The tour was great and Erica was a fantastic host. The food was tasty and Erica was very knowledgeable being able to explain about the food, its history and preparation. Also good was the food order as I a have been on a food tour before where the dessert was early in the tour. On this tour dessert and coffee were at the end. As there was only 2 of us Erica pretty much gave us an introductory tour of Bologna showing us sites that we could consider visiting but also providing historical information. We had a great time and recommend this tour to anyone.

Bologna is delicious! - Eating our way around Bologna - what could be better! We had a fantastic eating tour - learning about the traditional foods of the region. Our guide - Giulia was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and lovely. It was a fantastic way to learn about the city, try new foods and seek out places we might not have food on our own.

Amazing tour! - We absolutely loved this tour! Eugenio is a treasure, he is so knowledgeable, showed us things off the beaten path, got us into some of the places that were actually on our list of things to do!! Some of the places he took us to had lines waiting to get in, but he marched us in immediately. He took us for amazing pasta, various other Italian specialties and ended with amazing gelato. This is a definite must on anyone’s visit to Bologna!!

Amazing food for our with even better guide! (Darren) - Absolutely fantastic food tour through Bologna! Darren gave us a great combination of the history of the city, as well as letting us taste traditional dishes from Bologna. He took us to the oldest Osteria in Bologna and loaded us up with meats, cheeses, and wine… we were in heaven! We had laughs, great food, and fantastic wine. What more could you want. We will definitely tour with Darren again the next time we’re back!

Grateful for Eugenio! - I had an incredible time on this tour! There were only three of us, so Eugenio was able to tailor information to all of our interests and personalize it. He also gave us broader information about Bologna that was a welcome bonus. On top of it all, he took the time after the tour to stay in touch with us over WhatsApp and provide help navigate the city and find food options for other meals! Overall incredible.
