Review of Bologna’s 3-hour food walk: pasta, cheese, wine, balsamic vinegar, gelato, local stories, value, and practical tips.

“We had a great time on this walking food tour. Our guide Erica was excellent and kept us going with stories and insights into the food. The Mortadella and Balsamic Vinegar histories are really interesting. We ended up going back to buy some Balsamic vinegar the next day and to sample more of the Mortadella. We just don't get this level of quality in Scotland so it was great to see what it should taste like. The food was fantastic and the best bit was getting to go into the oldest Osteria in Bologna to eat the feast of bread, meat and ham that had been collected from the various…”

It was a great experience with wine tasting (local and general Italian wines) and food tasting (all the local bologna delicacies perfectly paired to the wine). I wish we could come back tomorrow and do it all over again. Do not miss this if you’re going to Bologna!”

“This was the perfect activity for our first afternoon in Bologna. We met Jessica and her friend at 3:00, enjoyed caffé “shakerato” (delicious iced coffee) with them, and received our map and vouchers. Since we had just arrived from California, we were awake but fairly brain dead and spent an hour or two walking around on our own and hitting a few of the places with the vouchers. It was great fun and we were already beginning get to know our way around. Jessica could not have been more delightful, and all the places she recommended were friendly and terrific. I have always thought this guideless type of activity would…”

Review of a private Emilia Romagna food tour with Parmigiano, Prosciutto di Parma, balsamic vinegar, lunch, wine, and transport tips.

“We had an amazing time with Simonetta who took us to a Parmigiano Reggiano factory, a Parma ham factory and a vineyard that makes aged Balsamico. She was an amazing guide, filled with tons of interesting information and a genuinely lovely person with which to spend the day. With each of the tours we feel that we got a great sense of each process with it all coming together with a tasting. Before heading to the Balsamico vineyard, Simonetta brought us to lunch at a lovely and delicious restaurant that was filled with locals and their families. It was as genuine an experience as we could have asked and we…”
