Great evening with Emilio! Saw some super nice pubs.
Thank you so much for joining our Bologna Pub Crawl and for taking the time to leave such a nice review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and the night out with our local guide Emilio. Hope to see you again soon!
Emilio definitely deserves an 11/10! Thanks to his humor and passion, the tour felt more like spending an evening with a friend than a typical guided tour. A wonderful experience, which I would I highly recommend.
Had a really good time! Would recommend everyone to try it out as an experience.
A really nice experience. Emilio was a very friendly guide and created a welcoming atmosphere. It’s definitely worth trying if you want to experience Bologna’s nightlife.
It was very nice with Emilio. WhatsApp was the name of the Restaurant with the Forst Beer?
signed up for the pub crawl in Bologna thinking it would be a fun outing and a chance to meet young people since Bologna is a big student city. Unfortunately it was quite disappointing. Apart from me and my girlfriend there were only two other people and the host, so in total we were just five people. Considering we paid €20 and it doesn’t even include any drinks or shots, you at least expect a bit of a party vibe. The first place we went to felt more like a café or restaurant rather than a bar. The second place had no space for us which made it seem like the host isn’t really known there or doesn’t go there regularly. After that he suggested another place which again was more like a dinner spot than a bar. What made it even more awkward was that the host himself wasn’t drinking and the other two people who joined the crawl also didn’t drink, so it was basically just me and my girlfriend drinking while everyone else sat around. It honestly didn’t feel like a pub crawl at all. If there were only four participants I believe it should have been cancelled rather than going ahead with something that clearly didn’t match what was advertised.
Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t match your expectations. Our Italian Pub Crawls are a bit different from the classic “all-you-can-drink party crawl.” As explained in the description, the idea is to explore local spots, meet people and enjoy a social night out in a relaxed way, rather than focusing only on heavy drinking. We never force anyone to drink and we welcome everyone — including people who prefer not to drink alcohol — so that everyone can feel comfortable and included. Sometimes group sizes can vary depending on the day, especially outside of peak weekends, but we always do our best to create a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere for those who join. We try to make people socialise the Italian way. We still appreciate your feedback and will use it to keep improving the experience. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Bologna and wish you great travels ahead! 🍷
This was a great pub crawl with lots of fun. Our guide Riccardo had a great vibe, he was both outgoing and funny. Would definitely recommend!
The tour guide was very friendly, it's a fun way to meet other people. We went to 3 different places.
Tremenda experiencia y lo recomiendo. Es algo relajado al principio perfecto para conocer a tu grupo y luego el party party party como siempre. I def recommend it I wish other towns had pub crawls as well like this one and kept the same concept that pub crawls are known world wide. Grazie mille per tutto.
We went on a Friday night and it was a really nice situation: quiet people, impeccable Service and delicious drinks. I highly recommend
