The guide was great, very funny and informative. The tour did both a little food and a little history. If you're looking for something comprehensive, this isn't it. However, if you are looking for a quick overview of the city, its history, the food, the districts, then this is a great way to orientate yourself. Whatever you might be into the guide will help give you a baseline, plus he had super helpful tips (like clean drinking water fountains and public bathrooms) as well as some very funny historical anecdotes. It's the perfect way to start off a trip if you aren't bound to some kind of schedule or have a specific itinerary planned. I did my trip last minute so I was just kind of winging it, and this was the perfect excursion to start off my adventure. Highly recommend, would definitely do it all over again.

This was an amazing tour. Virna was an amazing tour guide and was so knowledgeable about the city, not just food. We were in Bologna for a really short time and knew it was a foodie hotspot but we didn’t even know where to start! On this tour we got to taste things we never would have even known about and Virna gave us lots of tips for other places to try. It’s well worth the money.
