Authentic, relaxed and funny
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.

If you are expecting a party vibe, not the right place
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.
Operator response
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! 🍷

De Puerto Rico a Bologna
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.
