What are people saying about Bologna

Joshua_M, Jun 2026

An amazing and informative food tour with Claire

Claire was an amazing guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bologna, which she shared as we walked from one delicious site to another. She was very friendly and intentional with each member of the group, and had great interactions throughout. The food was excellent and varied - including pastries, two pasta courses, a balsamic vinegar tasting, and the best gelato we've had in Italy. My family of 7 had a wonderful time, and would absolutely do this again.

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.

Pasta, conversation, and fun with Laura

Our family spent the evening with Laura and her son Antonio, and truly we felt like we joined their family. Our experience was absolutely incredible. We made three different types of pasta - tortelloni, farfalle, and tagliatelle (which had unsweetened cocoa in the flour). Laura and Antonio were exceptionally welcoming and walked us through the whole process. They were very clear with instructions and took ample time to demonstrate the techniques. After making all of the pastas, Laura expertly cooked each course to perfection. Laura and Antonio sat down to dinner with us and enjoyed the meal with us over a bottle of wine. It made for excellent conversation and a great way to share cultures. Laura even prepared a special dessert for us! She provided all of the recipes, with the expectation that we of course would make pasta at home, and send her photos of our labor! From the moment we arrived, they clearly did everything to ensure that our experience matched our expectations. We strongly and highly recommend booking with Laura!!

A great food day experience.

A fantastic day out with a never forget experience of learning how and where these fine foods are made culminating in a fun lunch/ party time. A pretty that the price is so hiked up by Viator though. Go directly to the Italian days website to book. Much cheaper than what we paid.

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.

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.

Rouman_E, Jun 2026

A Great Day in Emilia-Romagna

One of the best day trips I've ever taken. We visited a cheese farm, a traditional balsamic producer, had a fantastic agriturismo lunch, and finished at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello — a genuinely perfect mix of food, culture, and excitement. Everything was well organized, the guides were knowledgeable and passionate, and the food and tastings alone were worth the price. The Ferrari Museum was the cherry on top. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the region. You won't be disappointed!

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.

Thank you, Ilaria!

I spent a wonderful morning with Ilaria, whose knowledge and passion for her adopted city was inspirational. As well as learning about Bologna’s history and culture, I thoroughly enjoyed sampling its food and wine. As I was the only person on the tour, Ilaria kindly did some of the commentary in Italian and was very patient with my attempts at conversation - this was an added bonus for me!
