Wow, where to begin? This is our first time in Bologna but Riccardo gave us such a fantastic tour and introduction of what the city has to offer that we only regret not having more time to explore its splendours. Brimming with knowledge and enthusiasm for the history of the region, art, music and food, this is such a unique tour that I would highly recommend to anyone whether it is their first time to the city or a repeat visitor wanting to delve deeper below the surface. Riccardo shared with us hidden gems and treasures that only locals know to enjoy. We can’t wait to be back for more.

Great at history but not a food tour. Didn't learn anything about mortadella or the history or differences of Parmesan Reggiano or Romano. Why did they choose to focus differently? Lots of art but no food. We tasted 3 chocolates at one shop and one rice cake and some Parmesan with a touch of 15yo balsamic vinegar. There was no history for the food. The guide took us to a restaurant that was closed for lunch and then had to take us to another one which was another 15 minute walk. He tried to ask us if we were ok with the tour but at this time it was just a little too late. To be fair it was a great tour about the art or the history of Bologna it was just not a a real food tour.
