Great lesson in Bologna food and culture
"Giuseppe was a great host and guide - our small group (me, wife and mother in law) learned a lot about Bologna’s unique foods and also saw some of the city and landmarks. Giuseppe is clearly passionate about his home town - would recommend him if you’re looking for more personalized tour than the larger tour groups we saw. "

Great experience!
"Giuseppe gave us the best food tour! He took us to places locals visit and that he liked. All were so delicious! He gave us some history lessons as we were walking and answered all our questions. He was so nice and I would definitely recommend this tour!"

What a fantastic afternoon!
"We’re so grateful to Sarah for such an enjoyable time. The ten tastings of Bologna more than lived up to its name. We really appreciated how Sarah adapted the tour to the things we told her we liked, and the result was an afternoon that left us satisfied with the things we ate and drank as well as what we saw and learned of the city. The beautiful weather helped, of course, but that’s just a bonus. We peppered Sarah all kinds of questions, not just about the food, and she gave us great advice for the rest of our time in Bologna. Plus, she was so welcoming and friendly. We’re so happy we booked a tour with her!"

Perfect host for our Bologna adventure

Wonderful food tour with a lovely guide!
"We spent a wonderful afternoon with Giuseppe! He shared his love of both the local food and insights into Bologna’s past. When we mentioned something we like to eat or have interest in, he said let me get you something else to try! All the vendors love him, describing him as their best and favorite customer. The fresh filled pasta, lasagne and carmelized onions, the mortadella and the ending gelato were all part of our memorable afternoon We felt very full and had a very special day!! "
