Fantastico! We went on our second food tour this year with Taste Bologna. This time we went with work friends that we recommended the sunset tour too. Second time round was just as amazing as the first. Frederica has such great knowledge of her Italian food heritage and delivers each one impeccably. The tour is well planned and takes you through the history of food culture in Bologna and the wider area. Highly recommend a food tour when visiting areas as it’s a good way to gain knowledge from a local. Thanks again for the great tour our friends who came along loved it. Don’t want to share to many photos as don’t want to spoilt whats to come. One tip would be to have a small lunch before as we were full by the end of the tour which isn’t a bad thing. Grazie Mille Frederica

Federica was outstanding! She showed us key places in bologna and taught us some history in the city. It was a great tour. She also was able to steer us to places we should try and see during our stay. 🥰

We had a wonderful experience in a group that included a coeliac who required strict gluten free options. The Taste Bologna Team and our excellent guide, Mattia, handled everything perfectly. Wonderful coffee, pastries, making tortellini and a delicious lunch and gelato finish, added immensely to the walking tour. Highly recommended. A great team behind this tour.
