Wonderful - My guide was extremely knowledgeable and tailored the experience to my taste. She was super sweet and made me feel comfortable and at home. Love the old world charm of the inn!

Good experience - Had a great time with my guide. Great communication and meet up was easy. Went to a nice wine bar/ store and sampled some wonderful local grapes. The charcuterie platter was very tasty

Brilliant tike. - Fantastic wine tasting experience, brilliant communication with the company, amazing wines and the host Giulia (think that's the correct spelling) was very knowledgeable and made the experience even more of a pleasure. Would highly recommend.

We could have done this tour on our own - After meeting us, we walked around and looked at 4 different secrets of Bologna, then we were walked to a wine shop and provided 3 tastes of wine - which the wine shop employee provided and explained. Totally not worth it - we could have gone to a wine shop, ordered the wine, asked for ann explanation or looked up the information ourselves. The tour guide was nice but added nothing.

Not Worth The Money - Not worth the money, we got the same "experience" from visiting a wine bar the previous day. The guide changed time on us twice and in the end we had to meet him 45 mins early. We him in the square, he walked us to the restaurant where he did chat to us and was friendly but it lasted 20 mins. We were then given 3 wines and a meat & cheese platter with a small explanation of where the wine came from. No notes on tasting and very little interaction with us. When we checked with the restaurant the value of the food and drink was €110 for 5 of us but we paid £250 for the "tour". Save your money as there are plenty of of other things to do in Bologna.

Rip-off, scam, waste of money, don't be fooled - This was the most horrendous rip-off for tourist I have ever experienced. 2 women (clearly students) escorted us to a wine bar, we were served wine & cheese and explained from the barman. Could have had better experience if we just went into a wine bar ourselves .

TERRIBLE - After meeting us, we then were escorted to a wine shop and provided 3 wine samples which the wine shop employee explained. Absolutely not worth it The tour staff was 2 people one of whom had started only that day. The other had a bicycle which took her forever to lock up safely. In the shop the staff gave us some wine and a SMALL sample of local meat/cheese. This on three different wines. The tour guides sat chatting us and watching us eat .They were not offered anything only a very small taste of the first wine. Then one of the tour guides took out a sandwich and a yoghurt from her bag and ate it in front us. It was all very uncomfortable and unprofessional The whole experience was TOTAL RIP OFF costing €120 for two people and lasted an excruciating 90 mins. This tour offer should be stopped as it is terrible value for money and gives the company a bad name. I am happy for the company to contact me directly should they wish
