Federica was a wonderful guide and gave us good tips for the rest of our trip. The tour was a great introduction to all of the food from the region, including a huge spread of meats and cheeses with wine for lunch. Definitely worth booking!

Federica was a GREAT host. Loved the tour….Loved the food….Loved the history and stories. First time to Bologna and we booked last minute. So glad we did!!

Four enjoyable and informative hours flew by with our tour guide, Mattia. Very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about his city and the region's food culture, he shared recipes and explained the production processes of the different products and their history, while we visited the market and sampled some of the specialities. I would have liked to have seen pasta actually being made – we only briefly saw it being rolled out and the ‘making tortellini lesson’ was just done on the street outside the shop with a piece of fresh pasta – but I can’t fault the rest of the tour. I was introduced to products I might not otherwise have tasted and gained some insight into the region’s history and food culture.

We had a fantastic day with Mattia. Learned a ton about the food and traditions of Bologna as well as some fascinating history. Visited spots we would never have found on our own. And left very satisfied. Plenty of food, all delicious. And loads of new knowledge. Highly recommend.
