Amazing food tour

Mattia was really friendly and super knowledgable. It was cool learning about various local dishes and understanding how they were made. It was such a lovely way to experience the city and culture.

Fun and Informative Food Tour

Julia was a wonderful guide: informed, clear, professional, patient, and fun. Roberta, our driver and general tour assist was just as lovely. These women truly care about creating an enacting and friendly tour experience for all and they could not have done a better job! I found the Parmagiano Reggiano production facility most interesting, as we were able to see several, real production steps happen up close in real time. I was a bit skeptical when I discovered on the bus that lunch incuded karaoke - which is not for me - but it was really a lot of fun, and more of a light DJ’d experience with the staff singing and all of us joining in. The best part of that was seeing how much the staff (and chef!) seemed to enjoy leading the tour group in song. Their enthusiasm was infectious and honestly it was really warm and lovely to see. The breakfast and lunch was very good, and both the Balsamico and Prosciutto stops were also nice. Overall, it was a very good tour and a lot of fun!

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!

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.

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.

Fantastic Class for Lasagna and Gelato

Our cooking class making lasagna and gelato with Monia was fantastic. She explained each step very well, and was happy to assist when we needed assistance or had any questions. We were only in Bologna for one day, but we would definitely take another class with her. Also, we are excited to take the recipes home to make the again.
