WOW !!! What a spectacular day with Alessandro !!! It was interesting, fun and delicious. You really couldn't ask for a better day in the region and the food ... oh my gosh ... the food was plentiful and phenomenal. We came to Bologna to eat and we could barely eat anything else the rest of the day. Highly highly recommend. Thank you so much Alessandro and Roberta for a perfect day !!!

this was our second visit to Bologna and our second Bologna Food Experience tour. We brought our friends and they were as astonished as we were at how great the tour is - how superb the hosts/guides and well....then there's the food. Do NOT miss this tour.

The visits to the Parmesan-Reggiano production facility, the Balsamic Vinegar family farm, and the prosciutto Production facility were all amazing, interesting, and educational. I wish there had been an option to go on just this portion of the tour, with limited tastings of the products. However, the majority of the time during the day was spent driving (2.5 hours without a guide on board) and having two tastings, one a seated ‘breakfast’ and followed only an hour later by an extensive family-style ‘lunch’ (over 3.5 hours). Although the food was delicious and abundant, the event was over-priced and geared toward sit-down meals. I would have had a better value at a Michelin starred restaurant in Modena or Bologna.

The highlight of our vacation. We learned so much about balsamic. Parmigiano reggiano and prosciutto. Talk about the food and wine!!! Endless. Just when we thought we couldn't eat anymore, we were served 3 courses of pasta. Then cane dessert. Our guide was a 10. This us an experience not to be missed

Informative tour and a seemingly endless amount of food to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommend. Our tour guide Alessandro was fantastic. The stops on the tour were fantastic, as was the food, and the interactions with the other tour participants made everything very enjoyable.

Alessandro as well as all of the individuals involved with our tour were great. The quantity of food that you get on this experience, while also being at a high quality, is something that I don't think can ever be beaten. "Breakfast" is a spread with a huge selection of pastries, cheese, meat, balsamic and wine. Impossible to not get enough to eat or drink here. The lunch is truly a feast more meat and cheese, a great selection of appetizers, more wine and more pasta than you could ever want. All of it was incredibly tasty. The tour part was great as well with Alessandro being very knowledgeable on all topics. One thing to note for the purists, you don't actually get to go to Parma and thus not taste Prosciutto de Parma, but the quality of the local region's Prosciutto is still good enough not to detract from the overall experience. All in all I would highly recommend this tour if your plan matched our family's plan, which was to eat and drink our way through Italy!

Alexander and Rosa were a perfect team. Were very punctual. Knows a lot about all related to the confection and elaboration on Parmesan cheese, Prosciutto di parma and Balsamic vinegar. The testing were great..and the breakfast and lunch espectacular.

We had the best time on our Italian days food experience. Picked up at 7 then taken to Modena we explored factories for parmesan cheese, balsamic Vinegar and prosciutto. Alessandro our guide who met us in the second part of the trip was funny, genuine and a big character who made sure everyone got involved and that they had a good time. Not forgetting the family who gave great education at the balsamic vinegar store and laid a beautiful breakfast for us. I wrote down everything to look for in future when buying balsamic! The main part of the trip that lasted the longest was the family style lunch. This consisted of delicious antipasti, then 3 courses of fresh pasta in different styles and flavours all accompanied by wine pairings and finished with tiramisu. There is plentiful of the food to go around and i assure you noone left remotely hungry. The trip gave us warm memories and full bellies and i can't thank the team enough for what they did for me and my boyfriend. We will be in touch and hopefully we will see them again!
