Marco was entertaining, knowledgeable, and seems to know everyone in town. He customized the tour based on what we had already seen. Highly recommend!

Giuseppe was incredibly knowledgeable about all things food and wine. We (a group of 3) went to superb markets and restaurants and were able to choose and try all manner of delicacies - with loads of historical stories and food facts thrown in. Giusseppe was great company and a perfect introduction to the Bologna food scene. I would highly recommend exploring Bologna with him!

Giuseppe was very knowledgeable and just a perfect guide for this food tour. I have already recommended him to friends.

In November 2023, we took the 10 Tastings of Bologna tour with Giuseppe. The tour was amazing, and Giuseppe was a pure joy to have as a guide. The tour was a combination of delicious food samplings, a bit of history, and a bit of sightseeing. Giuseppe always had something interesting to show or say, and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the best places to sample local flavors. We would tour different vendors and shops, and he would seamlessly have food for us to sample with nearly no waiting. And he speaks English very well. My wife and I highly recommend this tour with Giuseppe! You won't be disappointed!

GIUSEPPE gave us such a great food tour, I don’t think me and my family would’ve tried the food we had without him. His knowledge about Italian culture and the city of Bologna is exceptional

Pino’s knowledge of the region, its history, and of course its food were superb. He was thoughtful in what he shared with us and answered our questions with excellent detail. He even was willing to help out with our young son! It was an excellent day and we couldn’t recommend it enough!

Tim11peterson

We had such a great time with Giuseppe! He is so knowledgeable of his hometown and has a passion for the stories and history that define the food and people of Emilia Romagna! 11/10!

We had an amazing food tour with Giuseppe. We stopped at outstanding local food stops that he had a personal love for. The stops were not touristy. Great appetizers with olives and artichokes, various pastas, meat platter, parmigiana reggiano, dessert, gelato, espresso, Prosecco and wine. He has many stories to tell. We would highly recommend Giuseppe to all.

A fabulous experience. Marco is an excellent ambassador of all things delicious in Bologna. He introduced me to terrific spots that I returned to on my own and gave me access to places far off of any guidebook but worth visiting, especially with a recognizable local like the 6 foot 7 inch Marco, who has had a very interesting professional life. The personali attention and valuable knowledge shared are worthy of my highest recommendation.
