Perfect tour ans guide

We absolutely loved our tour and we loved doing it with Guiseppe. He was so knowledgeable and sweet! The food he chose was the best food we have had in Italy so far!

Great lunch & language experience

My wife and I enjoyed 3 hours with Giuseppe, who not only introduced us to wonderfull food and a secret place (Osteria) in the middle of Bologna, but also was very patient, so that we could speak and improve our italian. A perfect combination for two Italy-lovers. We give our best recommendations.

Bologna Bites are Better

Our food tour with Paolo was fabulous. His passion for food and Bologna itself is clearly evident and infectious. The tour itself was well thought out and perfectly paced, providing an experience that is only possibly with the help of a guide. Thanks Paolo!
