    Fantastic day out!

    "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. "

    Ducati tour- wonderful day out!

    "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!!"

    Far beyond any of our expectations!!!

    "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 "
