5.00This is our very first food walking tour ever, and we are so glad to have experienced it with this company. Even more so with Darren as our guide. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. The group was small enough that we were able to have friendly conversations. Highly recommend this company.

5.00We had a very enjoyable and informative evening with Mattia from Taste Bologna on the Bologna at Sunset Food Tour . We went to individual shops to purchase various local food products. Mattia gave us background information as we went along. Then Mattia brought us to a genuine osteria and ordered some local wines to go with the foods we had brought in with us. Mattia explained the processes and specific locations of the various foods of the region and the history and certification etc. We then went to a pizzeria where we sampled small portions of various types of pizza which were quite different from each other. Then it was time for gelato so we went to a gelateria where Mattia explained that the ice cream is made on the premises and the difference this makes.
