5.00We loved our tour with Matteo who was knowledgeable, considerate, and very fun. The food was, of course, delicious. We especially liked eating at the osteria family style. The group was a perfect size and we met some great people. Lots of fun and a good way to be introduced to Bologna. We now know how we will spend our next few days here.
