Description

Dive into the soul of "Bologna the Fat" on this 4-hour immersive journey. Skip the tourist traps and explore the heart of Italy’s food capital with an intimate group of just 10 people.

 We start with a gourmet coffee under the porticos before navigating the vibrant stalls of the Quadrilatero and Mercato delle Erbe. You’ll witness the magic of the "sfogline" (pasta masters) hand-rolling golden dough before savoring a steaming seasonal pasta dish, like Lasagne or Tortellini.

 The experience continues with a full lunch in Italy's oldest osteria, featuring the "Holy Trinity" of Bologna: Mortadella, Parmigiano Reggiano, and aged Balsamic, all paired with local organic wines. We conclude with artisanal gelato—a sweet goodbye that will change your standards forever.

 Led by expert local guides, this tour includes our exclusive "Foodie Map" with 20+ secret tips to ensure you keep eating like a local. It’s not just a tour; it’s your seat at Bologna’s table.
