We had an amazing food tour in Bologna with Antonia to celebrate our husbands' 60th birthdays! Antonia was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, taking us to charming local spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. We savored delicious tortellini and enjoyed a delightful balsamic vinegar tasting and homemade pasta, all while soaking in Bologna’s vibrant atmosphere. Antonia made the experience fun and personal, sharing fascinating stories along the way. It was a memorable day filled with laughter, great food, and wonderful company. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Bologna!

It’s a very good tour and we’re so grateful for the help. We got to explain how we can park that was a big concern of our driving for the first time in Italy you made it so easy. We parked and walked 10 minutes and we met you perfect timing. What a great day we had After work. We enjoyed lunch glass of wine and walked around the city some more before departing. We had a great time.
