This tour was good if you are not expecting to visit more than one establishment. Frederick was very knowledgeable about the city and very pleasant. However, we were expecting to see a few different restaurants/eateries. The one he chose was excellent. We had two glasses of wine; one white and one red —truly awesome wines and delicious lasagna as well as yummy Italian meats. Personally, we thought the establishment was great, the food and wine were excellent, but were expecting different restaurants to get a better feel for the city, as advertised. Essentially, $140 per person was steep for visiting one place.

Frederick was a true historian of the city he grew up in and loves, and did an excellent job between history, a fantastic food tasting and showing us some great night life spots near the university. A lot of fun, thank you!

This was the best tour and guide we had in Bologna. Sarah was excellent and always made sure we were comfortable. The food and wine were fabulous. Highly recommend Sarah!

Gioia was a great guide and took care of us throughout the tour, showing us different places to go to and letting us experience Bologna's specialties with bites of food and drinks in each spot. We ended up at a wine bar at the end of our tour, enjoyed each other's company beyond the tour, and got to know Gioia personally. We wish the best of luck to her and her endeavors! Definitely do this tour in the late afternoon/evening or around dinner time. It was great to see the area come alive and be a part of the Bologna night scene.

It was so nice! Sarah showed us places we never would have found before, and the walk through Bologna was so fun and interesting. Sarah knows a lot about Bologna so that was very nice! Also, she knows a lot about the wines and goods. She took us to the best cheese shop and bakery and we had some of Bologna’s best local foods together. We had such a great experience, I would definitely recommend this to everybody!!! She also gave a lot of tips for local restaurants and bars to eat, and even made the reservation for us, very helpful. Thankyou sarah!

Mauro is a very knowledgeable and very nice guide. He knows a lot about the city and has fantastic little stories - not only about the food but the city itself. We tasted amazing food and he even showed us some non-food places when he found out we haven't visited them yet. He is very easy to talk to and overall a very nice guy! We had a great experience with him and highly recommend to book the tour with him.

We had a great time on our private tour! Gioia walked with us around the city center and made us feel like locals. We had very nice food experiences, and learned some interesting and funny anecdotes about Bologna. Besides, Gioia is extremely friendly and she even sent us some of her recipes and personal recommendations after the tour.

Amazing experience with Withlocals in Bologna. We used the platform of Withlocals in multiple cities we visited in the past years, and every single guide we connected with, were all fabulous, also this time with Giola. She is a knowledgable and proud local, who engaged with us in such a pleasent way throughout the tour. Me and my husband Brian would defintately recommend her and Withlocals to other travelers!!!

My wife and I enjoyed the tour from start to finish. The efficient booking system through to meeting our guide went very smoothly. The process as well as the tour are extremely flexible along the way. Giola’s - our tour guide - ‘business’ level of English, detailed historical knowledge and local flavour was exactly what we were looking for. She also made everything fun and interesting, highlighting small details that without her we would have missed! Giola was incredibly flexible, adjusting elements of the tour to suit what we were looking for and interested in. Highly recommend ‘with locals’ and of course Giola herself.

Our Withlocals guide was super friendly and took us to some great little local spots! The tastings and wine were delicious, all of good quality. We ended up staying in the last place for dinner (as our guide suggested) and the food was amazing. Highly recommend!
