Taste of Bologna Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Fantastic Tour On Bologna. My wife wanted to go there from Florence (38 minutes on high speed train) and I was not sold. As usual she was 100% right and I was wrong! We took the “Taste of Bologna” Tour which was about three hours long and each stop was great. Our guide was Benedetta and not only was she knowledgeable about the foodie scene but also the rich history of the city. Can’t recommend the tour enough.

Excellent tour by Benedetta. Delicious
