Our Curated Tour of Bologna
We had an amazing time exploring Bologna with our guide, Barbara. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the city’s history come alive with her storytelling. The tour was perfectly balanced — we visited major landmarks and also got to taste delicious local specialties like handmade pasta, cheese, sausages, balsamic vinegar, and pastries. Barbara curated everything with care and passion. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bologna!

Amazing!
The tour with Guiseppe was wonderful. We met at a market where he took us to various shops where he purchased food and wine for us to taste. He explained what each item was and how it was prepared. As they say, “he knew his stuff”! And we were stuffed by the end of the tour. I would definitely recommend doing a tour with him.
