Elisa was a great guide who made learning about Bologna very enjoyable. We had a lovely gelato and then a meal of ragu and bruchetta, cheeses, meats, spreads and breads. Topped this off with an aperol spritz. A great tour.

Antonia made this such a special experience! Her knowledge of the city and its history added that special element to the incredible food!

We had a beautiful morning with Mirko on this tour! Not only did we get to try some amazing food (& wine!) typical to Bologna, we got to see & learn a LOT about the history of the city in a short amount of time. Plus, Mirko was able to customize the tour for us, based on us not having as much time as we should have had for the tour - and we had such great conversation with him! I absolutely recommend this tour - even with careful planning we would have missed a LOT about the city if we tried to do it ourselves. Enjoy!
