Taste real bolognese sauce with homemade tagliatelle pasta—and learn why spaghetti bolognese isn't as authentic as you might think!
Sip wine and snack on Italian charcuterie in a wine bar that’s nearly 600 years old.
Step away from the tourist trail and try dishes that most visitors miss as you discover the building blocks of Italian cuisine.

Excellent

We had such a great experience on this tour! We were a small group of 8 people, all lovely and keen for a good time. Our tour guide, Benedetta, was incredible and just so lovely to learn from and laugh with! The food we tried was exceptional throughout the tour, from the coffee and cake, parmesan, mortadella and various pastas, they were all out of this world! We kept going back to each of those places for the rest of our stay in Bologna, which honestly made it all the more special!

This was a fantastic day trip for us as we were staying in Florence and took the train (40 mins). Our guide Ella did a great job pointing out places of interest, explaining tradition and making sure everyone was well fed! The small group size kept it comfortable and personable.
