Bologna Food Tour - Mattia was a fablous guide! We walked and ate and drank our way through Bologna , leatning about its history and food culture. Always hand roll your pasta dough! This was a great small group tour and I can’t recommend it enough. After the tour Mattia shared dining recommendations with the group via email.

Fabulous Food Tour - Really fabulous food tour - a must do while in Bologna. So much incredible food but it is spread out during the 4.5 hours and there is walking in there too. Our guide was Mattia, who is also the owner of Delicious Bologna. He was very knowledgeable and Bologna native. I highly recommend!
