The guide, Cristina, was absolutely fabulous!! Highly recommend her!
Very knowledgeable, friendly, great personality. It was my absolute luck that i was the only person on the tour.
Archana_K
Great guide, very knowledgeable and kind.
Only critique is I would have liked to sample one more typical Bologna tastings such as mortadella, tortellini in brodo (it came in a cream sauce instead), or parmesan. The tastings we had were very good and we were full by the end.

An amazing taste of the produce that comes from Emilia Romana, beautiful balsamic, incredible tigelle with Ragu and to finish some of the best gelato in bologna. It's a perfect way to explore the city

Great tour! We got to walk around the city and learn done of it's history while trying various foods. We got to try tigelle with ragu, tortellini, parmigiano reggiano, and different types of aged balsamic (my favorite). The tour guide was friendly and helpful!

Our guide Bernadette was so knowledgeable and a delight. She truly knows this wonderful city. It was just a shame that we weren’t aware that several places were closed as it was a Sunday.

Matteo was our guide, and was fantastic! He was warm, personable, knowledgeable and energetic. He clearly loves what he does and it's infectious. The foods and drinks we consumed were wonderful - I especially appreciated Matteo's recommendations for other food purveyors and restaurants to try out. I look forward to making Matteo's recipe for bolognese sauce - it has a few twists not found in my current favorite recipe, that of Marcella Hazan. If I had to give one bit of constructive criticism, it'd be that Matteo's post-pranzo lecture on food production in Emilia-Romagna was a bit hard to focus on with full stomachs while sitting in a warm room - ?perhaps move to a cooler spot after lunch for the informational talk. Otherwise, a great experience and I would recommend Matteo and Taste Bologna to anyone.

We went to the food walking tour yesterday after 2 days in Bologna. For 55 euros, this tour does not deliver anything that can’t be done in your own time. Out of the four tastings that were promised, we completed two - 1) a balsamic vinegar tasting that can be completed for free if you visit the store 2) a ragu sandwich with a cheap glass of wine. We were then given a voucher to a take-away tortellini place and a gelato because we ‘ran out of time’. Our guide was super friendly and very passionate about the history of Bologna however, if you are wanting to do a food tour, we would highly recommend going elsewhere or just walking near mercato di mezzo as this is free and will give you the same experience.

We had a great couple of hours with Christina learned a lot about Bologna and had some great food tastings! Very original and fun!

I actually really loved this tour. It wasn’t super crowded and our tour guide was so knowledgeable about Bologna. It was the perfect blend of history and food, impossible to get bored.
Tabitha_K
Absolutely fantastic tour guide and experience.! Not only did we receive the history of the culinary traditions but had very generous tastings and could ask any questions to our very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Worth every penny and more!
