Bologna Food & Market Tour with Local Dishes, Pasta, Wines & More

Sara_P, Jun 2026

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. He even gave us his personal recipe for ragu as well as a family recipe for torta di riso which was really generous!

Tour della cucina bolognese con una guida meravigliosa!

Ilaria is FANTASTICA. She has been guiding tours for years, and brings a knowledge of Bologna from time spent living and studying at the university here. She is professional, personable, funny, and a delight to spend an afternoon with. I wish I were in town longer, to experience her tours of Reggio Emilia, Parma, and Modena! Thank you Ilaria!

Bologna Local Pasta Cooking Class, Ragu, Spritz, Wine & Gelato

Wendy_K, Jun 2026

Fun pasta making & Bolognese experience

Had a fun experience with Kate and Bea. Both were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about pasta making... and mixing drinks! Had a good group of people in the 3 hour, 3:00 class. The pasta was really good, as was the bolognese sauce that was prepared beforehand. So happy that after several trips to Italia that my friend and I final took a class, was worthwhile! And we got to take our extra tagliatelle with us to enjoy on our next stop! Thanks to Kate & Bea

Excellent event. Luca was the perfect teacher and it was great to learn some new aurhentic cooking skills. The small group of 10 of us meant we got to have a fun social activity. The food was delicious and I felt it was great value for money with the meal and wine included. Highly recommend.

Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days

Steve_R, Jun 2026

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!

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.

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

Rob_H, Jun 2026

Fantastic food tour

We had a fantastic experience. We met our guide and the rest of our small group of six people. Our guide was inviting and described the local delicacies with enthusiasm and great knowledge. We toured the shops selling fresh meats, cheeses, pastas, and baked goods, collecting the local delicacies for sampling over wine at the oldest osteria in the city. Next our guide took us to a restaurant, telling us more about the city and pointing out landmarks along the way. We tried two local pasta dishes with wine, then topped off the experience with a delicious ice cream. Fantastic experience for someone just arriving in Bologna.

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.

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.

What are the best tours in Bologna?

Are guided tours in Bologna worth it?

Yes, guided tours in Bologna are well worth it. Whether you explore the city on a history-focused walking tour or a food-centered tasting experience, you'll learn valuable insights from your guide about what to see, do, and eat during the rest of your trip. Guided tours also tend to be more relaxing than sightseeing on your own, as they handle logistics like transportation and reservations.

Per one customer who booked the Bologna Food & Market Tour with 6 Tastings, Pasta, Wines & More, "This was an amazing experience! Mattai was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about his city and the history of cuisine in Bologna. We loved every stop we made, and he followed up the tour by sending us a list of the places we visited and the food we ate!!! Would 100% recommend this tour."

How much do Bologna tours cost?

Bologna tours are available at a wide range of prices. Self-guided walking tours often cost under US$10, while group sightseeing tours with a local guide start at US$30. Shared food tours that include tastings usually go for upwards of US$100, while private all-day excursions cost much more.

A popular tour on the lower end of the price range is the Food and Wine Experience in Bologna, Italy, which costs US$35 and includes a private wine tasting with local cheeses and cured meats in Bologna's center. The tasting is just 45 minutes long, which will give you a brief overview of the region's culinary history. On the pricier side, the Private Emilia Romagna Food Tour Full Day (US$335) offers a more comprehensive, behind-the-scenes look at the region's food producers. With a private driver and guide, you'll visit factories for Parmesan, Parma ham, and balsamic vinegar—then sit down to a full lunch with wine pairings.

What activities are included on Bologna tours?

Bologna tours include activities for every kind of traveler. Food tours let you taste your way around the city's markets and restaurants, and visit factories that produce Parmesan and Parma ham, while cooking classes teach you how to make pasta from scratch. Architecture buffs can step into historic churches and medieval towers on walking tours, and car fans can visit the Lamborghini or Ferrari museums with a guide.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the full-day Cars & Food: Lambo, Ferrari, Parmigiano, Balsamic, Private Transport tour takes you to the Lamborghini and Ferrari museums in the region's Motor Valley, followed by guided tastings at a balsamic vinegar producer, a Parmesan factory, and a countryside restaurant for lunch.

How many days in Bologna is enough?

Spend at least two days in Bologna to appreciate both its historic center and the nearby destinations that produce some of Italy’s most famous foods and cars. On your first day, climb the city’s medieval Two Towers (Due Torri), marvel at the art-filled San Petronio Basilica (Basilica di San Petronio), and explore the lively University Quarter. Next, take a day trip to Food Valley’s Parmesan and Parma ham factories or Motor Valley’s many car museums.
