Perfect blend of history on Bologna and delicious food - My 75 year old mom, 33 year old niece and I had a wonderful walking and eating tour with Leonardo. We got lucky and basically had a "private" tour on Saturday, December 27th. It was such a nice intro to Bologna and places off the beaten path. Leonardo gave us a perfect blend of history on Bologna and delicious food. One tip, don't eat before you go. We were definately full after. We highly recommend this tour and Leonardo.

Bologna evening sights, food and wine walking tour. - Leonardo is a good host. Easy to listen to and a bit of fun thrown in. It is a good way to see parts of the city one might otherwise not get to. Lots of local food and drinks and overall a worthwhile experience. A very pleasant evening in Bologna and highly recommended.

Our tour of Bologna — Where History Meets Great Food humour and joy - Leonardo led our group of about a dozen people, including our family. He took us to excellent restaurants and wine spots around the city, blending the food experience with fascinating stories about Bologna’s history. His love for the city and his great sense of humour, made the whole tour both enjoyable and memorable.

Not Oscar Meyer Bologne!! - Guilia was very friendly and did a good job! We went to 4 different locations to try Parmesan cheese, a charcuterie board and wine, lasagna and wine and finished with gelato! She shared some stories in between and she was very easy to talk to! Thank you Guila for a fun experience! We wish you the very best!!
