Our host, Antonia, was exceptional. She made our afternoon in Bologna a wonderful adventure. We sampled a variety of traditional dishes native to Bologna and received a great orientation to the food culture and an introduction to the history of the region. We highly recommend for a new visitor to the region. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon!!!

Had a phenomenal time with him in Bologna. The man’s knowledge of the history of the city was amazing. The tour was never bland or boring. He always kept it fun and entertaining. He left it up to us how much of the tour would be food based and history based. We got a lot of both. The food spots were delicious. Make sure you make him take you for gelato (he’s even got a spreadsheet on what gelato spots are best in town, the guys an expert) I highly recommend the tour. I knew nothing about Bologna and now it is one of my favorite spots on earth

We really enjoyed our Bologna food tour with Simoni Lorenza. We tasted all types of local foods while walking through the city (and learning about its history). We enjoyed it so much that we scheduled another tour with her - a day trip to a Parmesan factory and a balsamic vinegar house. I highly recommend!
