Best pasta lesson ever.

Bologna Food Valley Small Group Factory Tasting and Winery Lunch

Penny_K, Oct 2026

Wonderful foody day!

Loved the entire day. It was educational and tasty! I loved learning how Parmesan, Balsamic vinegar, and sparkling Lambrusco are produced. The guides at each venue we visited were gracious and very informative. Each venue provided generous and delicious tastings at the end of each tour of the production facilities. Lunch, which included a wide variety of delicious regional dishes, was fantastic and oh so filling! Valentina, our guide for the day, was excellent! She shared knowledge of the geography and history of the region that contributed to the production of the products we tasted, as well as the foods common in this region and those we had at lunch. Consequently, I would highly recommend this tour to any foodies visiting Bologna!

Historic Center Walking Tour in Bologna

Renee_Y, Oct 2026

A Wonderful Tour of Bologna’s History, Culture, and Hidden Gems!

We had a wonderful experience exploring Bologna with Sammy! Over the course of a little more than two hours, he took us through the city’s fascinating history, beautiful churches, historic university, hidden canals, medieval markets, and vibrant food districts. What made the tour especially memorable was Sammy’s personal perspective as a master’s student living in Bologna. He shared not only the city’s rich history but also what it’s like to live and study here today, giving us a genuine feel for the local culture. Sammy was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the city. We learned so much while enjoying a lovely walk through Bologna. Highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting!

Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days

Tracey_E, Oct 2026

Highly recommend this food products tour

Very organized and well done tour of the cheese, balsamic and the prosciutto facilities. I would definitely recommend. You drive out quite a while so that plus going to 3 different places is why it’s a more expensive tour. I think it’s worth it though. If you’re a foodie or you just like to know how things are made, you will enjoy this. The balsamic is made on a family farm, so a small operation but they do a great job of explaining their process. I particularly enjoyed the tasting there. We bought some vinegar but you won’t feel pressured.

Amazing time

We had an amazing food tour in Bologna with Mateo! We got to taste six different items and visit several local shops, and Mateo did a fantastic job showing us what to try and what was worth buying to take home. We picked up delicious food along the way and enjoyed wine throughout the tour, making it such a fun and authentic experience. One of the highlights was visiting one of the last remaining bars where you can bring your own picnic and enjoy all the food you’ve collected along the way. We also loved stopping at a small, independently owned pasta shop where a single man makes fresh pasta right in front of you. It was such a special, authentic experience that you wouldn’t necessarily find on your own! We left completely full, happy, and with a much better appreciation for Bologna’s incredible food culture. Mateo was knowledgeable and helpful, and we loved getting to explore the city through its local shops and culinary traditions. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bologna who wants to eat well and experience the city like a local!

Denise_K, Oct 2026

Riccardo is the best tour guide ever. There is no competition

It is a long tour full of information. Riccardo is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. If you really want to know Bologna and its history as well as food, then this is the tour for you. Don’t go hungry, this is food but you will walk many steps before that so fuel up! We absolutely loved this tour with Riccardo and will suggest it to our friends. Denise and Troy

Bologna Food Tour: Taste Local Specialties, Pasta, Wine & Gelato

Bologna food tour with wine

Great 3 hour tour to experience the best of all the food in Bologna. Our guide Erica was very professional and engaging. The restaurant experience was a bit disappointing in its atmosphere and food presentation although the food was delicious. The gelato stop was okay, but I felt the employees lacked and serving was quite small. The market tour along with the subsequent tasting in the osteria was fantastic!

Thank you, Tamara!

Tamara was a wonderful tour guide. She has a great sense of humor and is very clear that she’s passionate about Bolognan history and art. She shared so many interesting tidbits about the city and different art styles as we walked through Bologna, making the tour really fun and memorable for my friends and I. Highly recommend her as a tour guide if you’re ever in Bologna.

Bologna Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy

Patricia_H, Oct 2026

Bologna cooking class in a restaurant

We're so glad we took this class. Our instructor was outstanding! He shared so much knowledge about the history of making pasta and why preparation was done in such a specific way. His love of cooking showed especially in our final pasta creation and Tiramisu. I would highly recommend this class. The only suggestion that I have is to have a smaller class or to have it in a bit larger location restaurant as we were a bit cramped. However, we preferred a professional restaurant over someone's home due to animal allergies (many home instructors have animals in their homes.) Great class and highly recommend!

Bologna Street Food Tour: Taste Authentic Local Flavors

Great way to explore Bologna

Delicious way to learn about Balogna and it's culture
