Bologna Culinary Delight
Diego was extremely personable, knowledgeable and passionate about Bologna as well as other regions of Italian cuisine.
He was very engaged and it felt like we were spending time with an old family friend rather than a tour guide we had just met.
Bologna is a culinary masterpiece and Diego taught us so much. We highly recommend this tour to others.

Our tour guide was...
Our tour guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Bologna. We had a great time at each stop and had delicious food authentic to Bologna. This is a great way to become familiar with what you should eat while you’re visiting Bologna. You get to walk through popular sights. I definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing!!
This tour was truly the best experience of our trip. We recommend doing it at the beginning of your time in Bologna so you get a feel for the local food scene. Our guide Domenico was friendly, engaging, interesting, funny, and very knowledgeable. He was interested in every person in our group and he took the time to chat with each of us - including our kids. Our time with him was like hanging out with an old friend! Domenico took us to several shops in the Quadrilatero. We tried various foods and wine along the way. Our favorite was the Prosciutteria - we had a private space to enjoy a charcuterie board & local wine. And we went to a restaurant where I had the best pesto pasta I have ever eaten. We finished with gelato. Everything was amazing. Please, do yourself a favor, and book this tour!!

Best experience of the trip.
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!
Grazia welcomed us into her home with incredible warmth and generosity.The class was hands on and fun, we learned traditional techniques for making fresh pasta from scratch while hearing fascinating stories about Bolognese food and culture. The lunch she prepared with the pasta we made was absolutely delicious. My picky daughters absolutely loved the vegetarian sauce she made with courgette for the tagliatelle and want to make it again at home. It was some of the most delicious pasta we've ever had, topped off with a lovely homemade dessert. Grazia's warmth, generosity, and passion for Italian cooking (and her lovely dog!) made this a truly memorable experience. Thank you so much Grazia!
Highly recommended!

Just do it!
This was a fun and interesting day. Any foodie will love seeing the factories and hearing about the process. I was surprised by the amount of food we were served! Two meals, although the first one was considered more of a tasting, followed by a full lunch coming about an hour later, and both were PLENTIFUL! Food and drinks galore!
The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely hospitable. We were well looked after and well provided for. I recommend this tour.

Perfect way to start in Bologna!
Jasmine is not only super friendly, she is super knowledgeable about the food and history of the city! I love that she stopped and pointed out historical facts and things about the city as we walked from place to place. The food stops were perfect, from cheese, fried tortellini, and mortadella and more! Pro tip: get the melon gelato in the summer! And ask for Jasmine!

Highlight of Our Trip to Bologna
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! The small group made it feel personal, and our guide was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, funny, and made the whole experience really enjoyable.
Every stop had delicious food, and we learned so much along the way. I would absolutely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bologna!

Very enjoyable and...
Very enjoyable and informative walking tour with excellent , friendly and informative local guide Valentina. She took us through the Quadrilatero , to renowned local food bottegas, an enoteca and osteria while explaining the difference between these and letting us taste local wines, meat , cheese, ragù and of course gelato . Would never have discovered these places and tastes on our own. Highly recommended

Amazing Foodie Tour & Guide
We planned a two night one day stop over in Bologna, driving from the Dolomites to Siena. Since Bologna is the culinary heart of Italy, we thought a foodie tour was in order & this particular tour did not disappoint. Our guide, Valentina G. was exceptional. Her warm, friendly personality enabled her to connect with everyone in our 10 person group. We were an English speaking group & English was one of four languages Valentina spoke fluently. She shared the perfect mix of local food-related culture, history & traditions. During what turned out to be nearly a 4 hour tour, she took us to restaurants aomewhat off the beaten path where we dined on a delicious variety of dishes that are native to Bologna & learned about their origins. Most importantly (haha), we learned how to distinguish a great gelato from one that is not. Seriously, I would never have known some of the tips she gave, other than what my palate liked best. Also, my husband had certain dietary needs in which Valentina also did a fabulous job accommodating. Would highly recommend this tour & Valentina G. as your guide.

Real farm life and quaint basalmic tasting
This was a family owned and run operation. Claiuduo was a fantastic guide. No rushing. Individual attention and a fascinating setting and commentary. One of the best and genuine experienced we have had in Italy this year. 100% recommend. Relax and enjoy

Fabulous authentic pasta making experience!
This was an amazing authentic cooking experience with a delightful Bologna native who welcomed us into her home. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and everyone produced delicious pasta. The friendly group atmosphere enhanced the experience and highlighted food as the centre of connection for Italians. I would highly recommend this experience!
