Ciao! I’m a local chef, pasta maker, and licensed Guida Enogastronomica, featured in Forbes Magazine as one of Bologna’s top culinary experts. I hold a Certificato di Specializzazione IFTS in Gastronomia in IGP and DOP products and study Gastronomy at the Università di Bologna. I’ve cooked in some of Emilia-Romagna’s finest kitchens, including a Michelin-starred restaurant. We’ll begin beneath the arches of Palazzo della Mercanzia with a macchiato and historic torta at a family-run pasticceria, then explore the Quadrilatero as I reveal the secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, Prosciutto di Parma DOP, Mortadella IGP, and Aceto Balsamico DOP. Taste the region’s best salumi, cheeses, breads, and Pignoletto wine — plus a 25-year Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale DOP — inside Italy’s oldest tavern (1465). We’ll proceed with tagliatelle al ragù paired with a glass of Sangiovese di Romagna at a beloved trattoria, and say arrivederci! over one of the city’s best artisanal gelato.

Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour + Ticket & Transfer from Krakow

Kevin_R, May 2026

Bus pickup location was...

Bus pickup location was very busy with other tours also meeting there but the driver managed to get everyone together, bus trip there wasn’t too long but time could have been used to inform us of other trips or what we might expect at the mine, we had a short wait before our group were given radio receivers so that we would be able to hear the tour guide during our tour, there was another short wait while the group in front descended the stairs into the mine. The mine tour was good with 2 or 3 rest stops at places of interest. The exit was long winded but it gave people time to spend in the gift shops or the restaurant, but then we had to queue I assume so that we left the mine in the same group order that we descended, the ascent is by lift but it was about a 20 minute walk to the lift through a long passage way, then when we ascended we were in a totally different area with no obvious signage to get back to where the bus had dropped us off Dover had to wait a few minutes till the mine guides appeared and showed us the way back.

The experience was truly first class! Francesca and Bea were fabulous hostesses. They made everything so fun. From the minute you enter until you are done, they make you feel so welcomed.

Stairs were down. Site was beautiful.

The mine was educational, artistic, and beautiful. All but approximately 10 steps were going down. The floors were not slick. However, it definitely is a lot of walking. The guide was very good. It was great getting picked up in front of our hotel. The driver was very nice.

Wojtek l, our driver picked us at the meeting point on time. He was very friendly and wonderful. He explained the itinerary for the day and drove us safely. Wieliczka tour was very informative and impressive. We had a great lunch prior to auschwitz and birkenau tour. It is a must see experience to learn about the horrific past. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. It requires a lot of walking.

This was a long day, but well organized and informative. Tomasz was our driver and he was pleasant and knowledgeable, the sites were both very crowded and he made sure we knew where to meet at all times. The subject matter was difficult to process of course but important, especially with what is going on in my home country of the USA. I recommend this tour for anyone.

Salt Mine Guided Tour from Krakow (hotel pick up)

Lynn_N, Apr 2026

An amazing place

Picked up on time just around the corner from our hotel. Minibus with five other people. Driver, Matthew, was charming, helpful and informed us about everything we needed to know. Really glad we visited the Salt mine.... it was an amazing place. Yes, there are certainly a lot of steps and general walking but it was worth it. Much much busier than we ever anticipated. We had a group of 38 for the tour which was about the maximum so at times as we entered different sections we were pretty much squashed. Also there were many many schoolchildren and presumably because the tours are carried out more quickly so they do not get bored the groups kept catching up with each other and us with loudly spoken teachers drowning out our own guide..... who, incidentally, was brilliant. She was brilliant at imparting the history of the mine and kept us interested along with her jovial nature. We did find the walk to the outside after the tour finished exceedingly long for some tired legs. Enjoyed the trip very much but the crowds were a bit overwhelming.

Catarina filled our day...

Catarina filled our day (and our bellies) with a very diverse experience. She made a rainy day in Bologna feel like an afternoon with an old friend who had a few food shopping errands to do. She generously and casually shared her expertise and history as a local (and pasta chef). Catarina was easy to listen to and led a comprehensive, well-rounded tour. The order of our tastes made sense to the palate and yes—we left satiated. Folks with food sensitivities on this trip seemed to have options as well. Tasting balsamico in a wine cellar and the secret (authentic) osteria were highlights, and the creameria/gelato was the best I had in my 11 days in “Eat-ily.”

Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days

victoria_m, Apr 2026

Amazing! A must do tour

This tour was AMAZING! Well worth your time and money. Dont miss out. The ladies who ran these tour did not miss a beat From the pick up to the drop off. We had a wonderful tour of the parmigiano factory. I went with my sister in law. We took a ton of pictures. So informative so much fun. This was a bucket list moment for me. Then off to where they produce a beautiful balsamic vinegar. We learned all about the process where then we were provided a beautiful breakfast with tastings of parmigiano, ricotta and vinegars at different stages with lots of additional breakfast items. We were being educated the entire time from a lively group of people who were happy to answer any questions along the way. At this point we had the opportunity to buy the vinegars that we tasted. There was no pressure to buy but no one wanted to miss out on that opportunity. From there we went to the prosciutto factory. Very educational to learn the process. We then had an amazing lunch that seemed to never end. Many different wines were served, wonder antipasto, 3 different pastas, risotto and dessert. All while being entertained with singing and dancing. Sooooooo much fun. I’ve been on MANY tours in many different countries and this tour was by far the BEST. We did not want it to end. Well worth the money. Thank you Roberta, Elena and the rest of the amazing staff for taking such good care of us. I would give this 10 stars if I could .
