What are people saying about Bologna

Steve_G, Oct 2026

Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class

My wife, Emma, and I really enjoyed this cooking class in Bologna. We were shown how to make tiramisu, tortellini and tagliatelle, with prosecco and wine provided along the way. After a demonstration from our guide, Luca, we got stuck in and then, of course, got to eat everything we’d made. The atmosphere was really fun and friendly, and Luca was a great host. He was very entertaining and made the whole experience feel relaxed rather than like a formal cooking lesson. We were also lucky enough to be paired with a couple of Americans who were both also called Emma, and they were absolutely delightful company! The only slight downside was that it was quite tight around the table with everyone working together, and being tall, I found it a little awkward at times. In the end, though, we were having such a good time that it really didn’t matter. A fun, sociable and very tasty way to spend a few hours in Bologna. 8/10.

Best of Bologna in one day : Food, architecture, art and history

Melissa_T, Oct 2026

Ricardo is the "KING" of tour guides in BOLIGNA. He extracts such stories and information out of the "walls" of the city

One of the most complete and in depth presentations from Ricardo that I have had EVER! He is prepared, passionate, focused and has a great sense of humor. This man studies his history. He could be termed a Renaissance man in his knowledge base and varied topics with which he very well- versed. He is able to "extract" so much from the architecture, art, history and food. If you think 6-7 hours is too long, let me say... it seemed like it was over in a flash! Ricardo made a point to point out hidden gems that speak volumes in and of themselves about Bologna's status and purpose throughout the "periods" in history. He fielded questions and made sure we had plenty of time to see it all. We were 4 women, with various orthopedic hindrances, but he kept the pace perfect. His comment about this city of Bologna rang in my ears.... "there is not another city that has maintained the number of towers, buildings, churches from as far back as 1079 to today. We were literally walking among "Dinosaurs" if you will. No, the buildings don't date back to dinosaurs, but the architecture is some of the oldest in the world, and still being used for everyday life and business. All of it seen within a 6-7 day including lunch, tea/coffee break and bathroom breaks. But wait, tgere is more..... Ricardo did save the BEST FOR LAST... I don't want to spoil it,but I got "goose bumbs" and was moved to tears. You will not find a better tour than this. Bologna is an amazing and endearing town, made more incredible by a man who respects it's history and marvels. Ricardo....."DON'T CHANGE A THING", you are not the "Count" of the tourguide world in Bologna, you are the "KING"!

Best Activity we did in Bologna

What an amazing tour experience. This was by far the best day we spent in Bologna. We were well taken care of by the driver and tour guide who created a very warm and joyful environment for everyone. The 3 visits were equally interesting and memorable. The two generous and delicious meals they served us were A+. I would highly recommend this tour. It was probably one of the best tours I've ever done.....and I've done a lot.

Fun day!

A fun day eating and drinking! Loved the Parmesan cheese factory, and all the tastings we had. Enjoyed the balsamic vinegar tastings as well.Not big fans of Lambrusco wine but it was a nice winery and we did buy one bottle. A nice lunch at a local restaurant in the area. A little disappointed in the main courses. They were delicious but very similar. Wish they had chosen something a little bit different.

Concise Bologna

We had a great tour of Bologna with Mathilda Interesting and concise, she passed a lot of knowledge of different aspects of the city center, in good English (important! so our girls could also understand easily). We had only a short time before our flight, and got exactly what we needed. Very difficult to get close and find parking - we were lucky but still hope not to get a fine for driving in the center.
