There was quite a bit of walking but totally worth it. If I had to do it over, I'd try to go on my first day in Bologna.

Amazing tour with an unbelievably fun and interactive tour guide! We tasted the best Bologna had to offer and learned about its colorful history while we did. You won’t be disappointed!!

Such a great way to experience the vibrant city of Bologna. We ended up taking 3 different tours with Taste Bologna (culture, plus the "mosaic and food" tour of Ravenna) and all were fantastic. Frederica and Benedetta and Silvia was all GREAT. So informed, lively, and friendly. They were able to accommodate an allergy in our small group and we ate like kings!
