Great gem of a food tour. Our guide Eric was fun and knowledgeable. We had a great time. Would recommend this tour.
This tour was truly the best experience of our trip. We recommend doing it at the beginning of your time in Bologna so you get a feel for the local food scene. Our guide Domenico was friendly, engaging, interesting, funny, and very knowledgeable. He was interested in every person in our group and he took the time to chat with each of us - including our kids. Our time with him was like hanging out with an old friend! Domenico took us to several shops in the Quadrilatero. We tried various foods and wine along the way. Our favorite was the Prosciutteria - we had a private space to enjoy a charcuterie board & local wine. And we went to a restaurant where I had the best pesto pasta I have ever eaten. We finished with gelato. Everything was amazing. Please, do yourself a favor, and book this tour!!
We had the most enjoyable and delicious evening. Our small group of four, with our intrepid guide Domenico, bonded and learned about the food, culture, wines, and history of Bologna. The food was amazing. We started in the old market and enjoyed cheese and wine at our first stop. Charcuterie and wine at our next stop. Traditional pasta and wine it our third stop. And authentic gelato as our final stop. No wine. Our guide was wonderful and while he taught us about the food, history, and culture, he managed to get each of us to open up and share stories and by the evening end we had made new friends. This was a wonderful experience.
This tour and time of day was why we picked the tour. It was 95 F 35 C during the day in the evening it was still hot but comfortable enough to walk through out neighborhoods and listen to stories and I information about communities, culture, food and wine. The dinner was good and they were able to accommodate some peoples allergies you have to let them know upfront and at the restaurant. During dinner we listened to each other’s travel experiences and got ideas on what to see next day or in future vacations. The tour guide also shared his life experience which I was really interested in because he is proud of his country and his mom’s cooking. For me the price was a little too much but I am glad that my cousin and two friends had a great experience. This was my take on the tour.
The tour was a lovely way to sample some delicious food and see some less obvious bits of Bologna. Domenico was our guide on 24/07/26, he was very informative and engaging, and was happy to answer any questions we had.
This was a wonderful food tour. Our guide Domenico was friendly and knowledgeable about Bologna and the local food. All four of the food and wine stops were excellent! Bologna is a great city and this is a fun way to explore the city center and its culture.
A lovely evening in Bologna with good food and drinks. The very best was our knowledgeable guide Domenico who created a nice atmosphere and offered so much time, tips and good food.
We had a great time and the food was fabulous. Dominic was a wonderful guide, so enthusiastic and friendly. He introduced us to not only a variety of foods but also a lot of history and interesting facts about Bologna. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide, Domenico, was fantastic! My wife and I booked this small group food and wine tour at the last minute. Turns out, we were the only ones to tour with Domenico that day. What a great day full of interesting history of Bologna, some really great food including meats and cheeses with honey, a full meal of delicious lasagna, and plenty of wine. Finished it all off with gelato of course. If you are lucky enough to have Domenico as your tour guide, you will be very happy.
We all enjoyed our tour and Jasmine was an excellent guide, explaining not just about the food but also about some historical events about Bologna
