Experience Bologna like a local with this unforgettable culinary adventure!
Discover hidden gems known only to locals and immerse yourself in the authentic rhythm of Bolognese life. This experience recreates the classic outings we enjoy with friends and family, offering over 15 tastings of the finest local food and wine.

Strolling through the historic center, you’ll enjoy two beloved homemade pastas—Tortellini and Tagliatelle—at a traditional Osteria Bolognese, perfectly complemented by more local wine.
To conclude, we’ll visit the best gelateria in town for an unforgettable gelato. This is your chance to eat, drink, and experience Bologna’s culinary traditions like a true local!

2.00The guide was lovely and food was nice but it was not value for money at all unfortunately and there was only 2 small glasses of wine included in a 3+ hour tour which felt a bit frugal. The tour went to large places near main tourist traps, for us personally, it would have been nice to visit something a little more off the beaten track that we couldn’t have found ourselves. We had a nice evening and it was a lovely group of people but overall we were a little disappointed.

5.00Our tour was with Stefania and she was very friendly and knowledgeable about Bologna. Our group of five had a great time and we all thought it was very good value for money given we were not only taken on a gastronomic experience but we were also fed many Bolognese delights along the way. We would highly recommend the food tour to anyone looking for something a bit different to the usual tour, with the added bonus of sampling the local cuisine.
