"Guiseppe was an amazing host to take us around the city for delicious food and drinks. He gave us a sampling of all of the best Bologna had to offer and provided a wonderful insider perspective as someone who grew up and raised his family there. As a former pasta maker, his passion for pasta and food was evident throughout the tour. He took us to all of the best places and even added a stop in when we asked to have an afternoon coffee. I cannot recommend this tour with Guiseppe enough!"
"Giuseppe was delightful. A wealth of historical knowledge and daily life. His pace and energy matched ours and he took his time to make sure all of our questions and thoughts were answered. Food was plentiful and so was the wine. All locally sourced."
"Guiseppe was an excellent guide for our tour. He knew many of the vendors at the market and was able to provide a great local take on the food, the atmosphere, and the history. My wife loved the rice cake he sent me home with. Can’t reccommend this tour and Guiseppe in particular, enough. If you’re in Bologna, see it with Guiseppe!"
"Amazing food, great food and local history. Guiseppe is such a lovely man, so passionate and so knowledgable. A real treat, thank you Guiseppe, Grazi"
"Paolo was wonderful to tour with, showcasing not only a vast knowledge of the city, but also history of the food and restaurants he showed us! Arrive hungry because these are not tiny tastings and you will end the day very happy and full!
Special thanks to Paolo for working around my mobility issues and our dietary restraints. He was very accommodating and understanding!
Grazie Mille, Paolo! Sono felice incontrarti!"
"I was very excited for this tour, I texted with Giuseppe and he was very receptive to my requests . He also made sure we hit the unique spots in Bologna only locals know. He really knows the city and made the tour feel like a friend was showing us around. He has my highest recommendation! "
