Roberta was awesome! We showed up late, which was completely my fault, and she still accommodated us and made it a great tour. Get the samurai gelato at the end.

Roberta was super nice and very friendly. We had a lot of fun with our group and she was very informative on the foods that we ate at. Got to try the local bolognian food and the tour also had time for us to relax and get to know the people who were on the tour with us. Would recommend our guide and the tour itself to our friends.

Great local food tour presented in fun and informative fashion. Wonderful to do early in your stay so you can get an appreciation for much of what Bologna has to offer, especially the mortadella. The tour guide was great!

Great insights into the food and culture of Bologna. Would recommend to go in the tour at the beginning of your visit. A good way to get a bearing of the central area

Calum2012

A lovely tour of Balogna courtesy of Alice, a local guide booked through Vivator. 12 people in the group . Alice had a very charming manner and dispensed her knowledge with humour. Breakfast pastries at the Cafe Imperico, a fascinating Balsamic Vinegar tasting at Guiseppe Giusti, cold cuts, cheese and sparkling wine in an osteria, a pasta sampling lunch with Lambrussco in a restaurant and an ice cream of your choice from 31 flavours in a family establishment. Amm excellent.
