What are people saying about Bologna

Greg_C, Jul 2026

Lucia and Jaya were our...

Lucia and Jaya were our hosts and instructors. They were very organized, knowledgeable, and patient with our group. We will never buy store bought pasta again. Although we did not make the ragu, they shared the ingredients and plan to send us the recipes. We loved the company of our classmates from different countries and enjoyed eating our very own homemade pasta. Highly recommend doing this to anyone visiting Bologna. Greg and Shelley from 🇨🇦

Bologna: Pasta and Tiramisu Small Group Cooking Class with Wine

Julie_T, Jul 2026

Great time for our family

Luca was a very gracious host and knew much about the area and local cuisine. Shared tips on local restaurants after the cooking class which we tried the following day. The pasta we made in the class was also delicious but I wish we had time to make the sauce(s) as well. The tiramisu was excellent.

Bologna City Walking Tour

Bologna City Walking Tour

The 2 hour walking tour of the city in the morning was very enjoyable and very educational. Bologna is a fascinating city with a rich (and old) history and our tour guide was excellent in presenting a wealth of information in a very engaging manner. Really new her stuff and was pleasant and funny as well. Also recommend the additional hour in the afternoon which visited the Archiginnassio (old seat of the University). Again, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and professional and the buildings provided a fascinating look at the first university in the world.

Something for everyone

This tour was a great sample of Bologna food. The kids really enjoyed all the dishes and learned to like some new foods. The veal scallopini was a special new favorite. Our 3 year old couldn’t get enough of the bolognese. I would definitely recommend this tour to families as well as others who would like to get a sample of bolognese food.

Always the best tour in a new city! Food, wine and like minded travellers.

We had such a fun time. Roberta was a fantastic guide and we learned so much about the food of Bologna and Moderna. We had a lovely diverse group of fellow travellers and made some lasting friendships. We got to try all the delicious popular dishes and we had some amazing wines. We all had such a great time that we had an after party at the oldest wine bar in Bologna! Grazie Mille Amy, Kristian, Harry and Carrol.

Gabrielle was great and accommodated our family of 6 adults and an infant wonderfully. We had some trouble parking and were therefore late, but they directed us to a meet up spot and Gabrielle was so wonderful about filling us in on things we missed and did not make us feel badly.

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.

This tour was a highlight of our trip! Our guide Stefi was so friendly and helpful, giving all participants tips about the best places to see and eat. The link provided for where to meet in the morning unfortunately did not work for us leading to some confusion on our end, but Stefi reached out to us to make sure we made it there for the tour which was so appreciated! The entire experience from start to finish was fantastic- from the food, drinks, views and the company- I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Bologna: Fresh Pasta, Ragu, Lasagna and Gelato Cooking Class

Michelle_M, Apr 2026

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.
