Experience outline
- Join one of our hosts to experience a classic Bolognese aperitivo - the Italian tradition of drinks and nibbles before dinner
- Explore a character packed neighborhood recommended by your host, you just need to let us know if your style is more a swanky bar where you can sip spritz in a piazza or a down-to-earth, cozy local hotspot
- Soak up the atmosphere as you sip a drink like a spritz, a Negroni, a glass of wine or a beer
- Enjoy a plate of small nibbles that are local specialties and Italian delicacies like bruschetta and cured meats
- Let your host recommend more bars to visit during the rest of your trip - it’s a daily ritual after all

We had a wonderful tour of Bologna with Nicola in mid-May 2024. Nicola is a PhD student studying history, and my husband and I were history majors, so this was a great match for us. We had a wonderful tour of the major sights in Bologna's main square, as well as the amazing shields and crests at the Archiginnasio Library. The tour was less food-focused as it was on sights until the last part of the tour, which was fine with us; we had Bolognese street food with Nicola of Mortadella panini as well as Tigelli - with a special local delicacy thrown in, pig lard mixed with parm cheese - not an every day eat but it was super interesting and we were happy to try it. Nicola has an extensive list of Gelateria that he loves and we went to one that had "whipped cream" gelato - it was unbelievable. If you love history and want some local street food flavor thrown in, this is the tour for you. Grazie, Nicola!

We had great time with Antonia. She was a very experienced tour guide with deep knowledge of the history of the city. She was very friendly, personable, and fun. My family and I had great time with her!
