Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Family-Style
Wow what a day. This was an amazing tour. Thanks to all involved. The food, wine and hospitality was excellent along with the informative factor tours. This is a tour not to be missed. Do not eat any food before hand as breakfast and lunch is plentiful. The amazing lunch is 4 courses of glorious Italian food and the wine flowed. Great value for money and such welcoming tour guides. Thank you so much.

Exceptional!
The whole experience was fantastic!
Not only was Matthew incredibly forthcoming with our 1 year old daughter joining us on the session, she was also able to enjoy some gelato at the end!
His knowledge of the foods he was providing was exceptional however he had further knowledge of both the area and its history enabling us to ask questions beyond just the food involved.
The tour actually went on for longer than expected due to allowing us to ask so many questions.
We were able to do the tour with our daughter however she had to be carried in her harness rather than be in a pram/buggy due to the nature of the tour - make sure you are aware of this before booking!

This was not our first...
This was not our first chance to explore Bologna. We had a wonderful time with our guide, Roberta, who immersed us in the food that makes Bologna such a renowned gastronomical destination. She walked us through the streets just enough to build our appetite and help us work off some of the incredible dishes she shared along the way. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wondering, “What should I eat when I’m in Bologna?”

Wonderful introduction to Bologna.
This tour provided a perfect introduction to the special cuisine of Bologna. We learned a lot and had fun along the way. And the food / wine we tasted was delicious.
Our guide Darren was fabulous; he was friendly and knowledgeable and very interesting. I would definitely take another tour with him in the future.

Visiting Bologna? Start here!
We highly recommend this tour to any foodie, particularly if they are on a short visit to Bologna who; 1) Need to quickly find out what's good in the city, and 2) want to dig just a little bit deeper into city life than the usual sight-seeing tours
We had a wonderful tour with our host Jasmin, who was full of knowledge about the city and good fun. She took us to an excellent and different venue for each course, and all were delicious!
Take this tour - You won't regret it!

I ended up being the only...
I ended up being the only one in my group so I got a private tour, which was lovely. Ilaria, my guide, was great! We made a few stops at local spots, and Ilaria was sure to point out notable landmarks and had great recommendations of what else I have to check out while in Bologna.

Incredible VIP Experience through the heart of Emilia Romana
This was an experience of a lifetime. From the moment we were picked up until the end of the day we felt well taken care of and treated like VIPs. Despite being fairly adventurous on our own, my husband and I both believe we would have never made it to all of these places and received the same treatment in just one day. It was a fast pass to the heart of the Emilia Romana region and a true cannot-miss if you only have a few days in the area. Don’t think twice, book this tour!

If you enjoy the wonders...
If you enjoy the wonders of Italian cuisine and goods, then you will absolutely love this tour. It is unbelievable the access you get on the cheese farm and you don’t know what balsamic vinegar can taste like until you come to Modena. By the end of the trip, we all wanted more.

My girlfriend and I took...
My girlfriend and I took a pasta course with Maria Grazia in her apartment in Bologna, and it was a wonderful experience. She was very welcoming from the start, and her lovely dog made us feel right at home. Maria Grazia explained everything clearly and was very patient, which made the class relaxed and enjoyable. It was really fun to learn about the different pasta shapes and to make them ourselves.
At the end, she cooked our fresh pasta with her homemade ragù, and it was absolutely delicious. It was especially nice to eat something we had made with our own hands. Overall, it was a great and authentic experience that I would definitely recommend.

A must do in Bologna!
Definitely recommend. Being in Bologna, the culinary capital of Italy, a local food tour was a must. We had a small group and it was great! There were 5 food tasting stops... street food, pasta, main dish, dessert and of course, coffee... plus additional stops to talk about other food products and history of and from the area. Our guide, Eugenio, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Loved everything!

Great day.
May not be handicap accessible so please double check.
Driver was right on time to pick us up in the morning. Seeing how the Parmigiana was made was fascinating for a “cheese nerd”.
The Parma ham producer was top notch and I had no idea how labor intensive it is to produce.
The balsamic vinegar producer was also top notch.
Our driver and guides’ English were great and they were very informative of the various productions and products. My wife and I really enjoyed the day.

Great tour of Bologna and amazing food!
This was such a fun, educational tour. Our guide was fantastic and told us so much about the history of Bologna while showing us some of the incredible foods made in this region. We highly recommend this tour! It was a great day trip from Florence. We drank the best cappuccino I’ve ever had, tasted meats and cheese from the region and had a wonderful lunch with several different pastas. The lasagna…. The best! Then we ended with great gelato. Bologna is a really cool city they we will return to.
