Experience tomorrow the best of
Bologna with Withlocals

"Paolo was really nice and knowledgeable regarding food and history and food history. He gave us the perfect Start into our holidays in Bologna and a lot of tips, where to get vegetarian but traditional bolognian food. We would highly recommend him to our friends and family! "

"The food tour led by Riccardo was fantastic in every way. Not only did Riccardo lead us through the Bologna food markets, sharing tasty treats with us, but, as we walked, he also educated us on the history and art of medieval and Renaissance Bologna, detouring at times through historic streets and buildings to give us a sense of what Bologna was like 500 to 1,000 years ago. The tour was scheduled for 3 hours, but it was actually longer due to our interest. Great guide and host. Couldn't ask for a better afternoon in Bologna and with a better guide. "

"I’m a big fan of TV shows that tell the stories of people through food, like those by Stanley Tucci or Anthony Bourdain. If you’re like me and love those kinds of experiences, this tour is for you. Paolo is an excellent storyteller who brings the Emilia-Romagna region to life through food. Each tasting was carefully chosen and layered, almost like a song—building flavors one after another until it all came together in a crescendo that my tastebuds won’t soon forget. It’s not just the food that makes this tour special, it’s the way Paolo ties it to history and culture. The dishes came alive once I understood their significance, and it felt like I was tasting Bologna in its truest form. What I enjoyed most was how personal the experience felt. Paolo’s perspective as a local and our thoughtful conversations made the tour so much more than the typical tourist walk. I left feeling like I’d discovered the city through his eyes, and with a deeper appreciation for both its cuisine and its people. If you want a food tour that goes beyond eating and becomes a cultural journey, this is the one to book."

"Stephanie did a great job. Highly recommend. Stephanie was very knowledgeable regarding Bologna and the City's history. She was very prompt and flexible on what you want to see. Stephanie's English was excellent."

"Paolo was very friendly and had great stories throughout our entire tour. It felt like meeting up with an old friend! He took us to some great spot, introduced us to foods and places we wouldn’t have tried on our own. "

"We absolutely loved our tour and we loved doing it with Guiseppe. He was so knowledgeable and sweet! The food he chose was the best food we have had in Italy so far!"
