What a fun and informative way to tour Bologna. We started at a cafe for a traditional espresso and pastry. Between breakfast and lunch, we toured a couple markets and a pasta shop. Lunch was meats, cheeses, and bread with wine, of course. Even though we were full, we finished the tour with gelato. Sara took is through parts of the city we might not explore on our own and taught us about food in Bologna, in addition to the history of the city. This was well worth every penny!

My fiancé and I recently did this tour and we LOVED it! Our guide Sara was fantastic. It was so refreshing to hear her speak about Bologna - a city in which she was born and raised in. You can definitely tell she is passionate and loves her job. Not only did she give us all great insight into the food culture of Bologna, she also told us the history of renowned buildings in Bologna. At the end of the tour she also gave us the opportunity to ask her for any personal recommendations! The food was obviously an absolute highlight of this trip. It was all so delicious, but a definite highlight was the gelato! Absolutely delicious!!!

Excellent! The tour was fantastic, and our guide not only educated us on the food of Bologna, but the history of it as well. Don't be afraid of doing this tour on your own; there's usually a few other other people doing the same thing with similar interests...namely, food! Our car boot was full of recommended goodies after the trip. Highly recommended.
