  We were the last to be seated and we had to sit up front with no way of seeing any sites. We saw our reflection in the dirty windows. There was no one to point out the sites and had to rely on the ear buds provided. Included a hop on hop off but driver never notified us of any stops and we went completely around Bologna not stopping and not knowing what we were seeing. The vouchers we got in a single packet was for 4 of us but we only got one voucher for one of the foods. Had no way of knowing where the food places were anyway, they were mentioned when we were handed our single packet but we’re from the states so a little pointing would have helped. The bus fumes were caustic. Don’t waist your money on this tour which was 16 euro directly from the bus co without food coups. Btw the food coupons were a gelato here, a fried something over another place, etc.

  My tip with this tour is its just "ok". Do not buy the extra "food tastings". I assumed more than just coupons. The regular tour comes with a few coupons-very basic choices but good enough to try a few things. The "extra tastings" option is just more basic coupons-we were only in Balogna a few hours. No chance to use more than 2 as we were Indy there for the afternoon. I expected alot different. Then the bus got stuck behind a broken down car. The host suggested getting out to walk around. So what did we pay for? Luckily the bus was able to keep movng to finish tour. Interesting city-hop on/off is a nice feature-coupon option not worth it.

  The On/Off bus was a great deal. It only €16. But we paid over €36 for the 'foodie tour' which in the end was a.voucher for a local sandwich bar where you could only have a focaccia with Mortadella or mozzarella with a drink and an ice cream at a local gelateria. Just by the on/off ticket. The 'foodie tour' is not particularly foodie or a tour

• It is a scam!

  Just buy the double-decker bus tour, which is much cheaper than this “tour.” All they do is meet you near the bus, hand you your ticket for the bus, and a couple of vouchers for some “free” food items. Then they leave you! Don’t be scammed. If you want to do the double-decker bus tour - which I DO recommend - but it from the bus directly. We paid over double for a worthless food voucher.

• Just ok

  Chaotic set up, very brief intro by the person who met us at the meeting point. We did one circle around town, and then they went on a break. Never hopped back on. Instead we walked across town to the 3 food spots we had received vouchers for. Ice cream was very good, so were small lasagna bites. Pizza place was very nice, close to a train station (we headed there next). We only came for a day, so it was fine, but to truly spend time and get to know the town, this was insufficient. Expect pre- recorded description of the buildings passing by, no context or extra information. Many of us were confused. There was a girl (guide?) on the bus, but she sat with the driver in a closed off space up front the whole time. Glad we did not spend much money here.

  The "tasting" is misleading, there are only vouchers to remote stores to buy goods at reduced prices. The red bus ride was very good. Explanations and organization excellent. Seen this way, the trip was worth his money.
