Wonderful tour of Bologna

Our tour guide Ela was amazing: charming and full of information. We loved learning about the history, food and culture of Bologna and got some great tips on perfecting ragu Bolognese as well. We’ve done multiple Eating Europe tours in various cities and find it’s the best introduction to a new city to get a real feel for the place and culture.

It was a great balance of informative stops with food or experiences and walking through interesting market streets hearing stories and information as we went. I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Italian food and culture.
