Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Both Giuseppe and the food fit the title. Giuseppe was kind, personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the food culture and history of Bologna and even some interesting history of the city. He made us feel at home, and we shared our family stories together. He showed us a market and osteria that were definitely local spots. Giuseppe chose local vendors that were not where most tourists stop as well. He even helped to pair wine styles we liked with the local food. Last stop before gelato was sharing his favorite spot for a caffe while downtown. Giuseppe went the extra mile and gave us last minute ideas for our dinner reservations. He generous personality/nature set the tone for the whole experience.

    Bologna is an historic city that is famous for its cuisine and culture. It's capital of Emilia-Romania, a province in Italy's north-east. It's remounted for its artisan cuisine. The food is said to be the best in the country. The lauded University of Bologna was founded in the 11th Century, it is the world's oldest university in continuous operation. Bologna is interesting to walk around.

    It was really great -- we saw a lot, but it wasn't a breakneck pace and in fact felt very leisurely. They were especially great about accommodating my teenager, who doesn't eat pork. We learned a lot about Bologna's regional cuisine and saw a leaning tower or two -- no reason to go to Pisa! The size of the group (capped at 7) was perfect and it was a memorable day. We'll be back!

    This is a really good tour and definitely worth the money. Our guide, Valentina, was lovely with excellent English and great knowledge, pride and affection for her city. She took us to places we would be unlikely to find and brought Bologna and its food history alive. I wish I’d had more time in Bologna to revisit some of the places she took us to! A great way to start your tour of this lovely city.

    What we liked about Bologna was that it was inundated with tourist. It's a city, but not driven by tourist like so many other places we visited. Look for the little cafes on the sidewalk. (Ask your hotels where.) They are wonderful. We loved the food and the friendliness of the people. We just wandered around plus took a day trip to Florence very inexpensively by the FAST train, only half an hour away. (Florence was more crowded than I have ever seen it. )

    The San Luca Experience Tour and Food Tasting was a nice experience. The stuff were very nice and helpful. The train took us up to Sun Luca and we walked back down to the city center through the beautiful porticos.
    It should be noted though that the "food tasting" includes a basic slice of pizza and some basic ice cream.

    Our tour guide was Isadora. She met us at the designated plaza right on time. The tour was everything we looked for when we booked it. She took us to have a typical Italian breakfast - espresso and a little rice pudding cake. She then took us through the market. We stopped at multiple stalls to learn about the famous products (parmigiano reggiano, balsamic vinegar) and the various pasta, how they are made, etc. And of course, we were tasting and eating all along the way. Isadora was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the culture, history, etc. We ended the tour at a tavern that interestingly only served drinks. Customers bring their own food. Isadora was prepared and brought out all the cured meats, cheese, and we had a great time chatting and learning all about the history of such taverns. Overall it was a fantastic, educational, and tasty tour! Thank you Isadora!
