Excellent food tour showcasing the traditional cuisines of Bologna. The guide was informative and hilarious. It was so nice to have a private tour in comparison to the large group tours, our experience felt much more personalized. The food was incredible, and we were stuffed after. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to sample the flavors of traditional bolognese foods.

Had a really fun time with our lovely tour guide Sarah, who really went above and beyond with the amazing food, tips and stories about the various places we were in or walked past. It was a really great introduction to the city and we got to try alot of dishes you would otherwise have missed (tigelle, that lovely little wine bar, rice cake). We had a really great time and can't wait to try out the traditional recipes which she was kind enough to share with us! A must do for the city!

Gioia was a wonderful enthusiastic guide who took us to some amazing places to try different local foods. We loved the variety of places including an Osteria where you take your own food and buy wine. She also showed us around the city and taught us a little about the culture and history. It was fascinating
We loved the fact that she gauged that we were interested in wines and focused more on that side. Loved the enoteca with the cake that you dip into wine - yummy
She also recommended a great restaurant to us which we would never have found otherwise
A lovely 3 hours spent with Gioia - heartily recommend it!
Perfect day in Bologna

We had an amazing food tour with Paolo, our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and his English was impeccable.
We had so much fun visiting the markets, trying the many types of food, wine, coffee that Poalo had bought for us, as well as walking through the town where he showed us the many historical sights in Bologna.

Gioia, our guide, hosted us on a wonderful tour of local bodegas, markets and restaurants popular with the (Bologna) locals. She complemented our delicious tastings with interesting insights about the people and culture of the city. Her perspective was especially interesting as she lived in the States for two years (working at the Italian Pavilion of EPCOT at Walt Disney World) and was therefore able to point out some intriguing differences in our understanding of genuine Italian cuisine! Great fun!
Great way to spend half of our day in Bologna!

This tour was wonderfully immersive, fun and social! We had a private tour with Gioia and she was such a pleasant tour guide. Super knowledgeable, thoughtful and patient with us when we literally wanted to sample everything. She asked us what we had already tried in the past and catered the tour such that we would only try new, local things. The food itself is delicious as well. Lots of variety. We felt very lucky to have such a personal experience with Gioia and would recommend her and this tour to anyone!
Great tour with great food and lots of insights and information about Bologna

We had an absolute great tour with Sarah. The food was excellent and Sarah is a great and experienced guide. It was fun talking to her and getting to know her city. Furthermore, she shared with us a lot more than the tastes of Bologna. We got to know the city, its history and personal remarks as well. On top, Sarah was really helpful with the rest of our journey, starting with local restaurant and activity tips as well as other information we asked her about (e.g. gifts for the loved ones at home and the like). 110% recommendation
