Mobile ticket
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.

What To Expect
Via Ugo Bassi
We always choose the best dishes, aiming to introduce you to our traditions, suggest the best restaurants and make you live the best culinary experience ever. With Do Eat Better you can make your visit to Bologna an unforgettable experience of eating Italy's best preparations. Here, you'll meet your local expert, who will guide you through this experience.
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.

3.00The food was good but the tour was rather long and rather tedious. Too much walking in between. This would have been better if tour lasted about an 1.5 hrs. Overall the tour lacked energy and passion I expected.
A nice experience in Bologna

5.00We had a super fun time with our guide Eugenio in Bologna. He was so engaging knowledgeable and funny. Lots of history of the city, art and food. The walk was easy and food was delicious. Just enough food to not get overstuffed. He gave great recommendations on things to see and do afterwards. Well worth the price and time.
Love it!!!
