Popular Local Flavor & Neighborhood Tours in Emilia-Romagna

Mattia is an excellent English-speaking guide who took us for a great tour of some interesting food and drink locations in Bologna, ranging from a coffee bar to a Balsamic Vinegar tasting with salami, cheese and gelati mixed in. Along the route Mattia showed us interesting places significant to the history of Bologna. We had a simple but tasty lunch with wine included. The group was a good size with 10 people and worked well for the places visited. We were made very welcome at all the shops and workplaces we visited. My wife is a non-meat eater and was very well catered for throughout the tour which included some very meaty locations. The tour was run at a comfortable pace which, as I walk with a stick and am a little unsteady and slow, was very helpful.

A good tour visiting places that were interesting with sufficient information provided without being overwhelming. Alessandro was very personable and a good guide. He was very informative and helpful in explaining how to get to places to revisit after the tour or to additional places we may wish to visit. He was also very considerate of my needs as I walk with a stick and I am a little unsteady and slow. Overall an excellent tour.

Highly recommended if your goal to see Bologna is for it's sumptuos food. Our guide was very knowledgeable. It was a day of treat walking around the center and all kinds of food and wine on every stop. Can't recommend it enough to anyone traveling Bologna.

Alessandro is an engaging guide who listens well and has a wealth of local knowledge about Bologna. WE wpuld recommend him to anyone who wants and "off the beaten Track" local tour of the old city and it's history.

We tasted many of the regional meats, pastas, cheeses and some wine. The guide was very knowledgeable about food and Bologna history. Only negative would be balsamic tasting which was shared and not hygienic.
