This is THE best food tour in all of Italy. Hands Down. Our tour guide Ela helped make our tour an unforgettable experience and I cannot thank her enough for the countless recommendations she provided throughout my stay in Bologna. I was originally worried that our tour might be cancelled due to low attendance but Ela was kind enough to take me and another traveler on our own personal tour of the best spots to eat in town. Ela truly made us feel at home by taking us to some of the best spots in town and exploring local markets and restaurants while giving us excellent insight into the culture and history of this beautiful city. Even after the tour she was kind enough to send countless of recommendations for us during the rest of our stay. I can honestly say I made a friend on this tour and I cannot say enough good things about our guide Ela. I fully plan on coming back and moving to Bologna one day and she is a big reason why. If you want to eat like a true Bolognese and shop with the locals then this tour is a must. It was a highlight of my trip and I cannot wait to come back. 100/10 recommend booking!
