Overview

Delicious Bologna Food Tours want the tourists live an authentic experience like a local. 6 stops at some selected historical shops and restaurants to taste MORE THAN 20 local specialties of Bologna region.

SMALL GROUPS, LOCAL HOST for a better quality food tour and learn about the culture and traditions of Bologna:
TORTELLINI MUST BE EATEN IN BROTH, NOT WITH CREAM SAUCE
TAGLIATELLE AL RAGU, NO SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE
NO CAPPUCCINO AFTER LUNCH
OUR PARMIGIANO REGGIANO IS NOT PARMESAN CHEESE

When in Bologna you can't miss the best bowl of tortellini in broth, handmade tagliatelle al ragu, the best selection of regional cured meat with our local wine, Aged Parmigiano Reggiano with Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena.

But also with us you visit the food market, the main square, the 2 towers and other main spots!
