"Our group of 4 had a lovely late afternoon strolling through old town Bologna ,learning about specialties from the region and the history and stories behind each tasty morsel. Diego has a vast knowledge of food and was joyful to share the afternoon with."
"Jason would be a great selection for those who would enjoy a private tour for a slower pace and better over all understanding of Bologna. He will take the tour at your pace. "
"An excellent food tour that exceeded our expectations. Giuseppe was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Bologna. We discovered authentic local food and places we would never have found ourselves, while learning interesting stories about the city. Highly recommended! "

Giuseppe is GREAT!
"Every stop was magnificent. The food and wine combined with his knowledge of the region, the history of the city and his kind demeanor made for a fun lunch/early afternoon tour that kept us full well into the evening. We even had leftovers! I recommend that everyone take his tour...DELICIOUS and FUN! Grazie mille!"
"Jason stepped up after Paolo had to cancel a few days before our trip. Jason was very knowledgeable and spoke well. I would
Highly recommend booking a food tour or a sightseeing tour with him"
"Diego provided us with a great experience in Bologna. We had the opportunity to visit incredible places and taste the local flavors with a touch of history and local culture."
"Shoved us the most important places and budget friendly places. Do not need to ask what food we prefer or like, because we also want to learn what Italiens eat which we probably dislike fôr learning purposes 😁"
"If you find Diego available as a guide to you in this area of Italy, take the opportunity to book him. I had the pleasure of taking his Culinary Kickstart tour and immediately saw his love for the city of Bologna and his deep knowledge of everything from fascinating historic facts to where to find the best piadini. While other tourists were following guides with little flags in huge groups, Diego reminds you of why you book With Locals. Personalized content, interesting stories, a walk through a beautiful city at your own pace along with insider info that serves the rest of your vacation. Diego is so warm, so fun, so friendly, and is the reason I continue to book with this company. Two thumbs up. Exceeded my (already high) expectations 👍🏽 "
