Excellent local selections and very knowledgeable. We covered a lot in a short amount of time, but never felt rushed. It was truly walking through the city like a local, complete with shout outs from shop owners. Excellent conversation to boot. Thanks Mattia.

Wonderful history of the city and region told through food. Food was fantastic and Ricardo was a awesome guide.

Brilliant on foot food tour of Bologna !

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a fantastic, leisurely tour with our knowledgable tour host, Mattia. It was a great way to see and appreciate beautiful Bologna with its amazing food and culture. It was a great fun way to spend a few hours. Mattia was lovely and the small group was perfect. The food, wine and coffee were delicious. We would highly recommend. Mattia - you are DOP!

Experienced Italy Visitors
