A fabulous tour - We had a fabulous time with Roberta. She was informative and fun. The tour was brilliant, taking us to hidden gems. We ate far too much but enjoyed every minute.

A Fantastic Tour - We had a great tour with our guide Luca who was very accommodating with our family. We were coming into Bologna by car and would be arriving a bit late to our scheduled tour time. Contacting him was a breeze and he was very quick to respond to our needs; for example he altered our meeting point to make finding him easier. He was passionate about his city and happy to answer all our questions. It was a delight to be brought around by a local who was very knowledgable and joy to be around.

Matteo was fantastic! - I would highly recommend this tour! Matteo was very knowledgeable about the history of Bologna and showed us many cool sites that we wouldn’t have found on our own. As an added bonus we booked us a balsamic vinegar tasting that was really fun! The food was amazing!

From the off our guide... - From the off our guide Matteo guided through the history and sights of Bologna. We walked within the Centro Storico, old town, and through the 'gates' as were to see all the sights, piazza, porticos, remnants of a canal system etc. Stopping for meals and snacks, coffee and gelato, all delicious. We learnt a great deal about the local produce of wine, cheese and ham and comparison with other regions. Mattoe was keen to answer any questions as we sat or walked around, an excellent guide

A good food tour of Bologna - Walking tour and food were good; a little more history and local stories would have been nice. We started with a tasting of 2 pastas, followed by little Bolognese sandwiches called tigli, then a type of pork cutlet & potatoes with a glass of wine, gelato and finally espresso. It was well spaced out over 3 hours.
