Do not recommend this tour operator

1.00We do not recommend this tour operator. They informed us after we paid over $500, that there were insufficient people for the tour to go forward - unfortunately. But then they made us cancel the tour ourselves to avoid having a record of cancelling tours themselves. Not very ethical.
Great surprise

5.00I’ll admit I was a little worried about the price but all mine concerns disappeared immediately, the day turned out to be incredible from start to finish! The atmosphere was lively, the schedule ran smoothly, and every stop offered something memorable. We began at a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, where watching the cheesemakers at work was like stepping into a culinary workshop, we had a great tasting of different ages. The balsamic vinegar experience was a true highlight. Learning about the centuries-old traditions and tasting the rich, authentic flavors was an eye opener. The Lambrusco's celler, an amazing old villa, tasted increcible wine and many different types. The gran finale was an amazing lunch at local restaurant where we had the best pasta that we ever had. If you love great food, culture, and unforgettable memories, this experience is worth every moment. Just come hungry and ready for a full day, you won’t leave disappointed!
A lot of food and wine!

5.00Hands down, the best tour in Bologna! We learned so much while exploring the fascinating processes behind Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar, and Lambrusco wine, and had an absolute blast doing it. Stefania was a fantastic guide; a local expert and her deep knowledge made the experience both educational and entertaining! I’ll admit I was a little hesitant about the length of the tour, since our time in Bologna was limited, but it turned out to be so worth it. The warmth and hospitality of all the factories were unique and the entire lunch tat the local restaurant made the day even more memorable!! Overall, it was the perfect mix of fun, learning, and incredible food!

5.00Watching how real Parmigiano is made was fascinating. Tasting it at different stages and being able to buy it directly from the producer was a dream. I'll never look at supermarket cheese the same way again
A full day of pure food happiness

5.00We booked a second tour with this company, this time in Bologna, and it was absolutely fantastic. We tried Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar, and so many other amazing products, everything was high quality. It’s not a cheap tour, but you definitely get more than what you pay for. We left so full that we didn’t even need dinner that night! Totally worth it and highly recommended if you want to taste the real flavors of the region.
