What are people saying about Bologna

Marie_G, Aug 2026

A must do if your in Bologna…great experience

We had such a wonderful experience at this cooking class in Italy! It was the perfect way to begin what became a fabulous vacation. We had the opportunity to make our own fresh pasta and finish the experience with a delicious tiramisu dessert. Luca was excellent — welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and fun. Of course, the experience was made even better with prosecco, great conversation, and the opportunity to meet people from Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, and the USA. It was such a fun international gathering around food, laughter, and good company. This was so much more than a cooking class. It was an experience we will remember and a wonderful start to our Italian adventure. Highly recommend!

This was one of the...

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Both the instructor and her assistant were warm, patient, and made the class so much fun. Everything was hands-on, interactive, and easy to follow. What made this experience truly unforgettable was how incredibly kind they were to my son, who is on the autism spectrum. They naturally adapted to his needs, made him feel included, and gave him an experience he absolutely loved. As a mother, that meant more than I can express. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Bologna!

Bologna Food Valley Small Group Factory Tasting and Winery Lunch

Jessie_T, Jul 2026

Great trip with unique stops that made for good variability and a true feeling of experiencing the area

We had more fun than expected on this trip! The tour guide and the group of people that went with us made the experience very enjoyable. And the activities we did were each different so we felt like we got to do a lot of different stuff in one trip, and really experience the area. The Parmesan Factory was really interesting and it was fun to be so close to the process. Then we did a balsamic tasting and learned a lot about the way true balsamic artisans make the product. Next was a unique wine tour where we learned all about the local wine. It was extra interesting because we got to taste multiple samples of the same grape that were made into different wines so it really helped us understand the impacts of the process. It all culminated in a fun lunch with authentic food and more wine. We loved each spot that we visited so much so we bought something from each stop. We would highly recommend this to anyone staying in the area. We even made it a day trip and took the train early that morning from Florence!

Bologna City Walking Tour

The 2 hour walking tour of the city in the morning was very enjoyable and very educational. Bologna is a fascinating city with a rich (and old) history and our tour guide was excellent in presenting a wealth of information in a very engaging manner. Really new her stuff and was pleasant and funny as well. Also recommend the additional hour in the afternoon which visited the Archiginnassio (old seat of the University). Again, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and professional and the buildings provided a fascinating look at the first university in the world.

Something for everyone

This tour was a great sample of Bologna food. The kids really enjoyed all the dishes and learned to like some new foods. The veal scallopini was a special new favorite.

The trip was well organized, the driver was professional, van was comfortable, and the tours were all amazing. Impossible to be hungry after this tour.

Claudio is a man “in the know” to take you to see the magic happen with cheese and vinegar.

Claudio was a great guide to everything Parmesan Reggiano and Balsamico, giving us access to the dairy where milk was turned to wheels of cheese in 12 - 36 months, and taking us to the small production balsamico producer in the hills was fantastic as well.
