Great experience food crawling through Bologna. This tour played like a culinary greatest hits of the city. Our guide was a chef, so the detail around the food of the region was very good. Every bite was delicious and fully representative of the region.

We had a wonderful tour with Darren. He is very knowledgeable and we learned so much about the region’s food and history as we wended our way through markets and in and out of special shops. Highly recommend.

An absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide was informative and fun. The food and wine were a perfect balance to exploring the city. I can’t imagine anyone saying this is anything less than 5 stars. I’m glad they weren’t in my group.

Federika was so fun,knowledgeable and considerate. She was also very organized and made sure that things flowed smoothly . She was very kind to the one vegetarian in our group. Made her feel included and cared for. She kept a good pace, but we never felt rushed.

Our guide was outstanding. He gave us so much information about food and shops and things to do. He could have led a full day excursion and we would’ve been so happy. We rate him highly and will recommend him in the future. We so enjoyed his take on different varieties of food

Great experience - our guide Matteo was super knowledgeable about food in general and Bolognese in particular. Learned an amazing amount in just a few hours - also tried fantastic and unusual coffees, local pasta, local meats cheese and wine. Ended with the best gelato we’ve ever had. Very entertaining - moved quickly between stops never a dull moment.

Federica was an excellent guide for us! We began the tour with some specialty coffee that stood out from the usual Italian cafes. From there we visited the mercato, watched the pasta making process, and learned about the history of Bologna. For lunch we ate various cuts of delicious meats and cheeses, finishing with the best gelato I’ve ever had!

We had an amazing time on this tour! Many of our family and friends had recommended it, and it definitely lived up to all our expectations! I have a gluten allergy, and our guide, Matthew, went above and beyond to make sure I had safe options. He arranged separate gluten-free bread and pasties for me and even made sure I got a delicious ragu sauce when it was time for the pasta portion. I really appreciated his thoughtful attention to detail!
