Small group food tour

We had a great experience on this food tour! We had a small group of 6 which made navigating easier and the experience more intimate. Our guide Benedetta was warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable. As we tried different foods, we learned about the history and geography that shaped the gastronomy of Bologna. We tried a variety of delicious foods including mortadella, fresh tagliatelle ragu pasta, prosciutto di Parma, and more. Grazie!
