Top Chef level food tour experience
This was an absolutely amazing experience and truly one of the highlights of our trip! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bologna, especially if you appreciate good food and want to experience the traditions behind some of the region’s most famous products.We opted to include hotel pickup, which made the experience incredibly convenient, especially with our larger group. Throughout the tour, we visited family-run producers specializing in Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and traditional balsamic vinegar. It was fascinating to see firsthand how these iconic foods are made and to learn about the time, care, and tradition that go into each one.Our tour guide, Monica, was wonderful—knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about the food and producers we visited. One of my favorite parts of the experience was seeing how much pride each family takes in their product and business. These are traditions that have often been passed down through generations, and that passion and dedication really came through during each visit.And, of course, there were plenty of delicious samples at every stop! We were able to taste the products throughout the tour, which made the experience both educational and incredibly enjoyable.This was so much more than a food tour—it was an opportunity to experience the culture, traditions, and people behind some of Emilia-Romagna’s most beloved foods. A wonderful and memorable experience that I would absolutely recommend!

Very nice day trip from Bologna. The cheese and balsamic vinegar makers were very interesting with delicious tastings. Lamborghini and Ferrari were nice stops. Please note that a factory tour is not included for either. It seemed to be an option but not included on this tour.

10/10 loved this tour and tour guide!
This was a well thought tour right in the heart of the city center. It was the perfect blend of sight seeing, with several excellent stops for food tastings and wine. The guide was excellent and we had so much fun together! It was a perfect afternoon spent really getting to experience Bologna like a local. I am a female solo traveller and always look for experiences like this. 10/10 will be back when I’m in town again!

Bologna Gastronomic Private Tour with Local Guide
Kelley G, Aug 2026
A Bologna Food Experience
We did the Bologna Gastronomic tour in Bologna with Valentina with 2 other couples/friends in our group. We had a great time of visiting the open air markets, butcher shops, bakeries and cheese shops. Along the way Valentina purchased items from each of the shops. We then went to the 561 year old (1465AD) "Osteria del Sole" for wine and to eat what she had purchased. We ended the tour at a gelato shop. Valentina was very knowledgeable about food production and Italy's strict food certifications and how to identify the various stamps. Valentina does have a tendency to speak a little quickly, because there is so much information that she wants to cover. Thus, you must pay attention. However, we all very much enjoyed the tour and would recommend it.
