5 reviews of Private Tour: Gourmet Walking Tour of Bologna - Pasta, Mortadella and Chocolate

This was one of the best tours we have ever taken. The guide was very "tuned in" to what we wanted to do, but also interjected wonderful facts and took us to places that we may not have chosen on our own. We were impressed enough to make sure our guide was with us the next day for the car tour.

Our guide began the day by guiding us through the city sites for the first hour. Afterwards, we cut off a side street from the Basicillica and found the market and deli area of town. The tour wraps up at a historic deli where we dined on a large plate of meats & cheeses from the area. The aged Balsamic Vinegar was incredible and the wine was also nice. If you are seeking more about pasta, or chocolate, then maybe you will want to indicate this to your guide. This wasn't part of our tour, although it was still great fun.

The tour was not as advertised. The guide was very knowledgeable but informed us our time would be split between history and a visit to one of two food shops. We were anticipating an entirely food-oriented tour, but she still made our time educational and enjoyable. Making arrangements for our time slot was difficult. We still found it worth our while and the best way to spend our limited time in Bologna.
