5.00Ilaria was a fantastic guide!! It was like having an Italian friend showing you the sites around Bologna. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and personable, making our tour an extremely enjoyable experience. The mortadella sandwich and white wine was so fresh and tasty! Followed by a lovely tagliatelle ragu which was delicious. And we finished the tour with a nice creamy gelato! We strolled around the streets which was nice compared to other tours that we have done where they felt rushed. Thank you so much Ilaria for sharing this experience with us. We really enjoyed your company, and that of your trainee friend. You were both delightful 😊 Grazie!
Pleasurable start in Bologna

5.00Valentina is an excellent guide. She provided interesting historical information during our Bologna culinary tour. She was attentive to our questions and kept a great pace, covering everything from shops, markets, restaurants and providing insight along the way about what to look for in food labels to ensure the vinegars, oils, wines, etc. are of the highest grade and authentic regional quality. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this tour and Valentina to all travelers interested in the culinary delights of Bologna.
