The highlight of our trip to Emilia Romagna

5.00We gave this tour 5 stars but that just scratches the surface. Our guide, Elise, was not only extremely knowledgeable about the history and significance of these places, but also very passionate in her educating which brought the past to life throughout our tour. She ensured that we enjoyed every step of the journey from the olive oil tasting to exploring the historic sites of Brisighella and Dozza. We were treated to a custom experience that made our stay in Emilia Romagna that much more memorable.

5.00Great day trip from Bologna and away from the crowds. Lasts 7 hours. Excellent driver Gabrielle. Two medieval towns, lunch, olive oil tasting, wine tasting, and a dragon. Lots of history and stories. Our 14–year-old was engaged the entire trip. Elene was a wonderful tour guide, and she had good advice for the rest of the trip. Highly recommend this tour.
Full eyes and full taste buds!

5.00Incredible cultural and taste experience! Ilaria is a thoughtful Guide and Gabriel is an outstanding driver. Ilaria knew how to share the love of her region. Ilaria and Gabriel are very professional and, above all, very friendly. Ilaria personalized our tour in style with lots of little extras like photos. Experiment to do. Easy Reservation until the very end of the tour. Bravo and thank you! Chantal and Johanne!
I would do this again and again and again!

5.00This is a must do experience if you're in Bologna! Ilaria was so friendly and eager to share about the region. Brisighella is absolutely beautiful. We then went for olive oil tasting, our very first olive oil tasting at that! Who knew you could actually do olive oil shots? It was such a special experience. Lunch was absolutely filling and delicious. Simple local dishes, done fresh and so delicious. One of the best meal we had in Italy. Dozza was such a quaint little village. The stories Ilaria shared with us about the villages were really interesting, and absolutely something that only people living in this area would know so well of. Gabriele was such a great driver, navigating a 9 seater van through the narrow streets safely. There is totally no reason not to sign up for this tour. You will never regret it!
Highly recommend this tour with Ilaria!

5.00This tour was a great way to spend the day outside the city and see two beautiful villages. We were fortunate to have Ilaria as our guide. She was knowledgeable, full of interesting stories about the area and such a delight to spend the day with. If you are interested in local experience, with a local outside the tourist area, I highly recommend this tour with Ilaria!
Amazing day in two small villages

5.00Our guide was the lovely Ilaria. It was an amazing tour for someone who wants to get away from the big city and see things they probably won't see themselves. I was searching for something to do that would be a bit different and I am so glad I found this medieval villages tour: two beautiful towns, a wonderful local guide, great lunch among locals and a nice cool van to escape to while the temperature was 37 C outside. It was so much more than I expected, definitely recommend!
A wonderful day away from the big city crowds!

5.00Ilaria our guide made the day perfect. Dozza was very interesting and the murals amazing. Lunch was delicious with excellent wine. Both villages were not touristy at all. A must visit made all the better by Ilaria who took great care of us.
The guide, Ilaria is an absolute delight!
