    Disappointing
    Maria_S, May 2024
    We thought it would be fun to do a self-guided food tour at our own pace, but were left very disappointed at the quality of some of the food. The taglieri (cold meats) was excellent, as was the espresso and ice cream. But the mortadella and stuffed breads were just tacky fast foods. Not what we would have expected on the culinary capital of Italy!
    Great to explore by yourself!

    Great idea. Self paced. Vouchers never go bad. Wonderful. Little booklet included a bunch of take away items and treats, a map, more recommendations and info audios.

    Hello! We are super glad that you enjoyed all the little details of the package we prepared for you. And equally happy that you liked the tastings with the vouchers ;)
    Food scavenger hunt

    This was a lot of fun and great value. We were late by an hour and they were very nice and accommodating to meet us later. Study the map as some tastings are close to each other. The gelato was the farthest away so we stopped on the way out of town. More than enough food!
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thanks a lot! We are very happy that you liked our Food Tasting Box! It was a real pleasure meeting you, see you soon!
    You won’t regret this activity!

    The guide was amazing! Polite, knowledgeable, and so kind! We only made it to 3 places and were stuffed! Planning another day to shop and tantalize our palettes!

    Thank you
    Plenty of walking while worth it
    Ivan_C, Jun 2023
    Different types of foods. No pasta. Breads, balsamic vinegars, morsels sanchwiches, pizzas, gelatos. All were delicious.

    Food Highlights of Bologna
    Diane_T, Oct 2022
    A great way to taste the highlights of Bologna at your own pace. I loved that they provided you a map with suggested walking route to both eating spots and monuments. I was crunched on time in Bologna so this took the thinking work out of planning my day.

    Thank you Diane
    Walking and eating
    Jeffrey_A, Nov 2021
    We did not receive vouchers for the advertised food tastings. Received one more voucher than the six promised but did not get cheese, wine, or coffee vouchers. Map was helpful and informative about the sites. The sites stops had numbers and the food stops had letters. The site and food stops didn’t correspond with each other. For example site (1) had food stops (h), (a), (b), (n), and (l). Many more food stops than vouchers so it was a bit more complicated lining up the food stops. The food stops we made were enjoyable but a bit more organization of tour would make it better.
    Response from Host, Nov 2021
    Thanks for your review. We inquired and in reality the stops indicated were all there and the vouchers were more than those indicated on the map. Sorry if you have had the feeling of lack of organization this is the first time they have told us this. We are sure that if you want to return to Bologna you will have the opportunity to see how much in reality this self-guided tour is very well studied and organized. Soon
    Brilliant tour/ fantastic food
    Linzi_B, Aug 2020
    Absolutely fantastic. Great value for money and a lovely way to explore. The stops were great and the amount of food we had was enough to get us thru the day. Plus the tower visit was a great extra (if a bit of a challenge after the wine and ice cream!) Highly recommended.

    Thank you Miss Linzi
