Highly Recommend!

We had an amazing private food and wine tour with Isadora today! First recommendation- go hungry! Second, go with an adventurous spirit. We ate so many different things today that were all typical of Bologna. The food, the shops, and the stories that Isadora told combined to give us a well rounded sense of the true Bologna that I’m sure we would not have discovered if we lived there for a decade. Isadora is wonderful and made the tour totally enjoyable! Grazie Isadora! Highly recommend!

10/10 experience

Elena was fantastic. She took us to all the best restaurants and made sure that it was not where all the tourists go. Just locals. I even made my own tortellini! 10/10
