Gioia, our guide, hosted us on a wonderful tour of local bodegas, markets and restaurants popular with the (Bologna) locals. She complemented our delicious tastings with interesting insights about the people and culture of the city. Her perspective was especially interesting as she lived in the States for two years (working at the Italian Pavilion of EPCOT at Walt Disney World) and was therefore able to point out some intriguing differences in our understanding of genuine Italian cuisine! Great fun!

Gioa was a great tour guide and host. Not only did she give us a tour of the local food but also of the city’s hidden and secret spots. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Bologna as well as other neighboring towns.

This tour was wonderfully immersive, fun and social! We had a private tour with Gioia and she was such a pleasant tour guide. Super knowledgeable, thoughtful and patient with us when we literally wanted to sample everything. She asked us what we had already tried in the past and catered the tour such that we would only try new, local things. The food itself is delicious as well. Lots of variety. We felt very lucky to have such a personal experience with Gioia and would recommend her and this tour to anyone!

We had an absolute great tour with Sarah. The food was excellent and Sarah is a great and experienced guide. It was fun talking to her and getting to know her city. Furthermore, she shared with us a lot more than the tastes of Bologna. We got to know the city, its history and personal remarks as well. On top, Sarah was really helpful with the rest of our journey, starting with local restaurant and activity tips as well as other information we asked her about (e.g. gifts for the loved ones at home and the like). 110% recommendation

Food tour through the historic center of Bologna

, Nov 2020

We enjoyed a fantastic tour with Hermès, eating our way across the historic center of Bologna and learning quite a bit of history and culture along the way. We Booked this tour just the day before, because another tour we had booked previously canceled on us short notice due to changing Covid restrictions. We couldn’t of been happier with the communication through WhatsApp leading up to the meet up, and he even shared photos he took along the way through the same conversation. We stopped for food/drink at 7 different stops- we were well fed- and all great local foods, special to Bologna. So delicious- I even bought extra to take home from the bakery! Hermès was a great guide- our conversation never ceased. The tour was well organized and he was a great source of information. Highly recommended!
