Emilia-Romagna 2026 Calendar of Events

We booked our tour for our first evening in Bologna. Due to our flight being delayed we were running late, but communication with our guide, Naz, was terrific! She told us not to worry that in fact we were the only group on the tour and she was happy to wait for us. The tour, food and Naz’s knowledge was just what we needed to give us a taste of Bologna and a wonderful introduction to the city!

everything was delicious!! Mattia and Valentina were so knowledgeable and welcoming!! It was a great way to spend the evening!!

Francesca and Valentina were just lovely! So friendly and made making pasta so much fun!! Definitely recommend Tours and the City!!

The best cooking school in Bologna. Francesca and Valentino were great. Highly recommend it!

Our guide Francesca was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a good crash course on the history of Bolognese cuisine. A word of caution though, there’s a healthy amount of walking involved.

Francesca was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She managed a large group very well. The tour has a good balance of food and walk.

Very informative about the various types of gelato/ sorbet. Guide excellent

Great overview of Bologna food options! Our tour guide Sara was knowledgeable and had a great attitude.

This cooking class was so much fun! We learned a lot about the food and culture. And the lasagna and gelato were delicious!!!

Was perfect to do a self guided tour for this. I booked it mostly for my husband. We had a driver that I had arranged to do several activities that day. We started at the Enzo Ferrari museum and finished in Marenello. He loved it! I know there is a shuttle that runs also. We didn’t use it, but great option for those that need it!

Absolutely brilliant cookery class. Highly recommend, we made lasagne, and had gelato, wine, and aperitif. Great value for money and friendly fun evening.

The directions are easy to follow. We enjoyed seeing the points of interest on our own schedule and not being rushed as some tours are. I would enjoy more of these activities in other cities also.

Excellent, informative introduction to Bologna. Fantastic, humorous guide (my bad, I don’t remember her name).

Absolutely loved this experience. Being able to ride through the Italian countryside, past a Palazzo from the 16th century, along a river and through estates was amazing. Gessica was so helpful with transportation information and a super guide. Definitely recommend!!

If you’re a Ferrari fan, it’s epic! Fun to see where the brand was born and how it came to be, such an amazing history.

A good quick tour. Highlighting history, architecture and Bologna "secrets". Our guide was amazing and really knew his history of Europe.
