If you enjoy food tours then this definitely a must! Be ready to eat plenty! I am Italian and the homemade pasta’s were exceptional. This is the place to experience the cold cuts and cheese. History of chocolate was very interesting. Also this is a beautiful University City. Thank you to our guide Elena!

We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour in Bologna. Our tour guide was excellent. All of the food was excellent. We would have preferred more samples in smaller portions in order to taste a wider variety of local foods. The lunch, while good, only gave an opportunity to select one pasta dish. We would have preferred a small sampling of different pastas. The portions were certainly generous.

This was our first tour in Italy and by it set a high standard for all that followed! Our tour guide was well versed not only in the foods we would be tasting, but in Bologna history as well! She was an awesome story-teller and very descriptive of the foods we tasted, which included chocolates unique to Bologna, sliced meats and cheeses with bread and wine, pasta and wine, rice pudding, and gelato. We were full! And while we weren't left wanting any more food, I was certainly introduced to enough Bologna history that I DO want to learn more about Bologna. Highly recommend.

Wonderful walking tour of Bologna. Not only do you learn about the history and traditional methods used in producing local products - you get to taste them as well. Tasting sizes are generous and locations allow you to rub shoulders with locals. In addition you learn about the history of the city from your guide. Our guide Catia did an incredible job - sharing her knowledge of food and history along with her passion for her city. Tip: if you're coming from Florence or Verona to take the tour consider taking an earlier train than the one recommended. Trains in Italy are notoriously late as a group of 8 on our tour found out - arriving half an hour late.
