This tour is a perfect way to do two things at once: see the beautiful city and eat/learn about their wonderful food. My 18 year old son and I enjoyed every minute of our time with Eugenio. After the tour, I wished we had more time in Bologna because this introduction to all there is made our time seems too short but without this tour we never would have been able to understand Bologna. Thanks so much for making the most of our time. It was invaluable.
Really great experience!

Our guide Stefania was brilliant, so friendly and answered everyone’s questions. There was so much interesting information that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. The food and drink was great and there was a lot of it. We felt the tour was excellent value.
