Overview

Delicious Bologna Food Tours want the tourists live an authentic experience like a local. 6 stops at some selected historical shops and restaurants to taste MORE THAN 20 local specialties of Bologna region.

SMALL GROUPS, LOCAL HOST for a better quality food tour and learn about the culture and traditions of Bologna:
TORTELLINI MUST BE EATEN IN BROTH, NOT WITH CREAM SAUCE
TAGLIATELLE AL RAGU, NO SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE
NO CAPPUCCINO AFTER LUNCH
OUR PARMIGIANO REGGIANO IS NOT PARMESAN CHEESE
AND MOST IMPORTANT OUR MORTADELLA DOESN'T TASTE LIKE BALONEY ;)

When in Bologna you can't miss the best bowl of tortellini in broth, handmade tagliatelle al ragu, the best selection of regional cured meat with our local wine, Aged Parmigiano Reggiano with Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena.
But also with us you visit the food market, the main square, the 2 towers and other main spots!

PS. Our local cuisine is mainly pork based, inform us if you are vegetarian, we'll replace cured meat with cheese.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
