About this activity
Meet your guide at the tourist office in Piazza Maggiore, a grand square in the heart of Bologna Old Town. If your group consists of eight people or more, plug in your headphones — so that you can hear your guide's captivating commentary at all times — and make your way into the old medieval lanes that surround the square.

Bologna has a well-deserved reputation as one of Italy’s great foodie cities. In fact, one of its nicknames is ‘La Grassa,’ meaning ‘the fat,’ which refers to the bounty of fresh produce grown in the region and the rich and satisfying local cuisine.

Follow your guide through the tiny streets of the Quadrilatero, which are packed with food stalls and storefronts, selling everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to meat and fish. Join the locals as they jostle along the alleys, perusing the various mouthwatering offerings.

Discover the origins behind popular local dishes from your guide and stop to shop at irresistible artisan stores, many of which have been in the same family for generations.

As you explore, pause to savor three samples of local Bolognese fare. Munch on flavorful specialty foods such as Italian cured sausage, cheese and prosciutto, as well as a sweet treat, such as chocolate or gelato. Finish your food tour with an authentic Italian pick-me-up: an espresso.

Afterward, follow your guide back to the original start point, where the tour concludes.

Nice tour with a woman from Madrid who lives just outside of Bologna. Our tour guide took us to many typical Italian streets to see all that Bologna has to offer in terms of stuffed pastas and food speciality shops. We stopped for delicious chocolates and ended with a glass of wine of our choice, sliced meats, a fried bread speciality from Bologna, and a taste of parmesan cheese. We were given a voucher for a coffee to get on our own at the end of the tour. Just a great tour with a very friendly guide. Do it! I really enjoyed it.

It was good. We did some chocolate from the oldest chocolatier and cold cuts/wine from one of the market restaurant tasting. Due to the size of the group, sometimes it was hard to see what the guide was showing while she was talking.

Tour was ok. Maybe because the tour was unavailable until Fri and we had sourced and read most of most of what was said. Difficult to hear with Fri eve traffic noise and ear phones ,we got ,had only 1 ear connection. Probably fine if it was available on the First day in Bologna. The tastings were harmless.
