What are people saying about Bologna

Bologna Food Valley Small Group Factory Tasting and Winery Lunch

Susan_A, Oct 2026

Fun day!

A fun day eating and drinking! Loved the Parmesan cheese factory, and all the tastings we had. Enjoyed the balsamic vinegar tastings as well.Not big fans of Lambrusco wine but it was a nice winery and we did buy one bottle. A nice lunch at a local restaurant in the area. A little disappointed in the main courses. They were delicious but very similar. Wish they had chosen something a little bit different.

Ferrari Lamborghini Pagani Factories and Museums - Tour from Bologna

Alison_F, Oct 2026

Excellent day out to Motor Valley

Well organized. Everything went smoothly. Exact itinerary wasn't as described but the elements were. We loved the Lamborghini Factory and how it contrasts to Pagani's non-automated processes. Of course, the cars were mind-blowing. Good lunch. Attentive and informative guides.

Top 5 food experience I’ve had

This is our second time doing this tour, it was better than the first. Like clockwork. The team was so professional and the experience improved with entertainment and engagement. Our driver Roberta and our guide Julia were first rate. If you love Italian food, regional history, and the food making process, this is your one stop. The samplings, sit down breakfast and lunch are awesome.

Melinda_Q, Oct 2026

Best experience in Bologna

This class was the high point of our trip. Kate and Valentina were informative and fun. There was a good mix of cooking and getting to know each other. My pasta was a mess. I got “special” attention from Valentina, who was happy to help. My boyfriend’s pasta was perfect. Even though my pasta looked horrible, it tasted so good! The food, attention and camaraderie were amazing! I would highly recommend this cooking class.

Bologna Small-Group Food Tour with Full Meal & Local Food Expert

Daniela_P, Oct 2026

A beautiful Italian Meal across central Bologna

What made this experience truly brilliant was how cleverly it was structured. Instead of random food stops, Davide designed the tour like a traditional multi-course Italian meal spread across different spots in Bologna. We progressed seamlessly from aperitivo and appetizers to handmade pasta courses, savory mains, and the best gelato in town. The portions were unbelievably generous—come hungry, because you will definitely leave completely full and satisfied! Beyond the incredible food (the fresh tagliatelle al ragù and local cured meats were out of this world!), Davide is an extraordinary guide. His passion for Bologna is infectious. As we walked between stops, he brought the city to life with fascinating history, hidden local gems, and rich cultural stories. You can tell how well-connected and respected he is by the warm welcomes we received at every single shop and trattoria. This was easily the best thing we did in Bologna. Huge thanks to Davide for such a generous, delicious, and insightful morning! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Historic Center Walking Tour in Bologna

Schlomo_M, Oct 2026

Concise Bologna

We had a great tour of Bologna with Mathilda Interesting and concise, she passed a lot of knowledge of different aspects of the city center, in good English (important! so our girls could also understand easily). We had only a short time before our flight, and got exactly what we needed. Very difficult to get close and find parking - we were lucky but still hope not to get a fine for driving in the center.

Great Tour!

Elena was great! We got to go through a food market and learn about what goes into making and certifying the food in Bologna. We then ate the food we picked up at an osteria where it was paired with a delicious wine. We got to try 2 different pasta dishes and finished the day with Gelato. Elena made our experience in bologna special. It was nice to experience Bologna with someone who clearly loves her city.
