Suzanne_H, Jun 2026

Wonderful food experience and tour!

We had a fabulous tour and food experience with Giulia! She was so knowledgeable about the foods, ingredients and history of the traditional dishes of Bologna. She also shared information about the history of the Churches, Piazzas, porticos, the University, Market Street and the City Centre. The food was delicious and portions were very generous! We highly recommend Giulia and this food tour!

Samantha_B, Jun 2026

Highlight of our Italy trip!

This experience was the highlight of our trip to Italy! I can't say enough good things about it. Luca was an amazing host and cooking teacher. We had so much fun making the food, we learned cooking tips to bring back home, the food was DELICIOUS, and the wine was flowing. We were in a restaurant, which felt cleaner than someone's home, and still very authentic Italian. Timing was perfect, and our kids, ages 11 and 15, along with our adult family, loved it. A fabulous experience for all, highly recommend.

jane_f, Jun 2026

Amazing and Fun Day in Bologna

Archive Julia was absolutely amazing! I’ve never had a tour guide come onto the bus before and actually go around to every single person and greet them and say hello and good morning. We learned so much about Parmesan Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, and prosciutto from Julia in a fun and informative way. We were not quite sure what to expect regarding food that day, but I do need to say that there was an abundance of food! There was a full breakfast with different kinds of meats and breads in addition to a lunch where the courses of food just kept coming and coming and coming. They played music on songs and it really was one of our best days in Bologna.

Ferrari Lamborghini Pagani Factories and Museums - Tour from Bologna

Lisa_G, Jun 2026

A great tour for car enthusiasts!

This was a very cool experience. Being able to see the current production line and museums for Lamborghini and Pagani was incredible. Ferrari fell a little flat since there is no guide for the museum, but it was still a good experience seeing their F1 cars and other museum pieces. And there was an opportunity to sit in a Ferrari. Lunch was absolutely delicious. The group was a good size and the mini bus was nice. This tour is a must for car enthusiasts - just getting to see some of the most rare and unique cars in the world was incredible. I am not a car enthusiast but I was traveling with one and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, as did he.

Unforgettable food, wine, and laughs in Bologna! If you're visiting Bot

If you're visiting Bologna, you have to do this tour. The culinary stops and wine selections were top-tier, but our guide, Stefania, was the real star. Despite our slightly late arrival, she gave us the warmest welcome and kept us captivated with her extensive knowledge of the city's history and food culture. By mid-tour, the whole group had completely bonded, and we spent the rest of the day giggling and sharing stories. It was the perfect blend of learning, discovering hidden local spots, and having a blast. Highly, highly recommended!

Bologna City Walking Tour

Olivia_G, Jun 2026

City centre walking tour

The walking tour is a nice way to learn about the history of Bologna and see some of the main landmarks. To enter the cathedral, you need to cover your shoulders and not be wearing shorts/dresses that are too short. Plan accordingly. It was our guide's first time doing this particular tour so it was a little less interactive that I had hoped but still very interesting.

Do This Tour!!!!! 100 Stars

This trip/ tour was worth every single penny. Luca picked us up and we stopped at a parmesean cheese farm and saw how it was made. Our next stop was a meat factory with so much prosciutto. We got to eat a variety of different meat & drink Lambrusco! Our last stop was my favorite - a balsamic vinegar farm. This tour was perfect - probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done.
