Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We really enjoyed our action packed day out with Sarah. Her local knowledge both in terms of food and wine specialities is extensive. We would have called into Specialist food retailers overlooked by larger food tour operators. The main reason for our selecting Sarah as our local guide was her offical guide access to one well known motorcycle manufacturer of which she is an accredited guide to. The tour of the factory and museum was most informative and enjoyable, but the highlight would have been a visit to a private motorcycle collection and display belonging to a well known motorcycle racer and team owner. In all, a very memorable day. I would recommend Sarah for all things food, wine and motorcycles. "
"We had a wonderful day out for the Ducati factory/museum tour! We couldn’t wipe the smile of my husband’s face for days after. If you’re a true Ducati fan, this would be right up your alley (and even if you’re not, it’s still a great day). The factory tour was very interesting, even though at this time of year, not all parts of the factory were open. Sarah provided a really informative tour through the museum, which was surprisingly not crowded at all. We took our time flowing through the various eras, learning so much about Ducati’s history and their bikes. After the tour, we jumped on a local bus with Sarah and travelled into the city centre to a lovely little market, where we sampled some of the best food we’d eaten on our whole trip. We talked about traditional recipes from the region and Sarah was kind enough to email the recipes to us at the end of the day. A stroll through town and learning all about Bologna’s history was great and concluded with amazing gelato and a cute wine bar. We also visited a local Ducati collector (which was the highlight of my husband’s day). We enjoyed refreshing Prosecco while chatting all things bikes and their amazing collection. Sarah is a wonderfully down to earth guide, who has a genuine love for the city, knows all the best places to eat and went out of her way to give us more recommendations for other cities we were about to visit. Can highly recommended this tour. Thank you Sarah!!"

Feel the thunder in Bologna! A private Ducati Factory and Museum tour is the ultimate pilgrimage for any enthusiast. Don't just visit, experience the heart of Italian speed and style with a local guide.
Did you know Ducati began by making radio components in 1926? The company only shifted to motorcycles after World War II. Your local guide can share the fascinating story of this transformation on your Ducati tour.
The Ducati Museum is a temple for 'Ducatisti'. It showcases 90 years of history, from the first Cucciolo engine to modern MotoGP superbikes. See the evolution of Italian design and performance up close.
Casey Stoner, a MotoGP legend, brought Ducati its first-ever World Championship in 2007. His aggressive style and incredible skill made him a hero to fans. His championship bike is a highlight of the Ducati Museum.
Bologna is known as 'La Grassa' (The Fat One) for its rich cuisine. After your Ducati Factory tour, refuel like a champion with local tagliatelle al ragù, the authentic version of Bolognese sauce. Pure Italian fuel!

"Had the most wonderful time touring with Sarah. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Ducati and Bologna, and knows all the great places to go for great food and especially cheese! Very highly recommended and will definitely see her again next time we are in town!"
"Dearest Sarah, We have spent a full day with you. We visited the Ducati factory, the Ducati museum, had a food/wine tour in Bologna followed by a visit to a private Ducati collection. We had so much fun and received so much extra information. The days thereafter we continued our experience when we visited all the places and restaurants that you recommended! Great recommendations you gave us. You were far beyond our expectations (and we always have high expectations)!!! If we come back to Bologna we will meet again. Thank you so much. Tamara "
