5.00What a fun day with Mattia, owner, and small group of 7. We really enjoyed this awesome food tour of Bologna and its specialties. Learned some history and interesting facts along the way, tasted at least 20 items, including very tasty and typical lunch dishes (lasagna, tartollini soup). The highlights were tasting meats and cheeses at oldest osteria, eating real gelato with unique flavours, and tasting modena balsamic vinegar. Definately recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, great company and getting some history and stories from a local.
Mattia was an excellent...

5.00The walking tour with Roberto was fantastic! We wish we would have booked the tour sooner so we could have enjoyed the wonderful food locations more frequently. We really liked that the tour was a a smaller group of about 10. We saw other tours that seemed to have a large touring party. The smaller group allowed us to interact with the others in our group and felt more personal. We loved every stop we went and bought mortadella, parmagianno reggiano, and the amazing balsamic vinegar to bring home.
