The Do Eat Better Experience food tour is a walking tour in at least 4 stops, around the historical center of Bologna. The tourist is guided by a "Foodie", a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities.

Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing Italian culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.

Please, note that the tour is always run in English and Italian; other languages upon request.

Fontana del Nettuno

The tour starts with fresh pasta like Ragù alla Bolognese Tagliatelle topped with local Parmesan Cheese. One, if not, the, quintessential first dish in Bologna. More versatile than the famous Lasagna, this dish will welcome you into Bologna while still leaving some space in your stomach for the following stops. In alternative you may be served Tortellini, served in broth, as the tradition commands, which is equally as typical.

Our very lovely knowledgeable guide Guilia took us for a nice stroll through the old parts of Bologna, telling us a lot about the history, architecture and food of the region. She also talked about everyday modern life in Bologna, and made suggestions about what more we could see and do while visiting Bologna. Along the way we made several stops for different types of delicious food. It was a lot of food, so make sure not to eat much before the tour! All in all a lovely afternoon, and definetely good value for money.
