• Meh! But we got around a bit.

  Just okay. The food vouchers made you feel like a filthy tourist; while establishments weren’t unfriendly, neither were you greeted with any enthusiasm. The value of the vouchers was probably about £25. The guided tour comprised about 14 places and you were treated to 60 seconds of a rather drab audio commentary that ChatGPT wouldn’t care to put their name too. On the upside we got to try some unspeakably unpleasant Bolognian street food, the like of which I’ve never encountered in my 50 odd years of dirty-eating adventures. Well done on that, at least!

  Low value for money. 7 coupons: 1. Coffee in a cafe: Not mentioned but only to go. Would not let us sit at their tables. 2.-3.-4. Small “sandwiches” from fast food places. 5. Cold platter with a glass of wine. Good experience. 6. Cookies at a bakery. “Free choice” but no choice. We could only choose one kind. 7. Chocolate: A very little - but good - tasting. Too expensive compared to the offered food. Approx you only receive value for half the price of the tour. And three take-away “sandwiches” are to much!

• Great concept

  I love the idea, I love the town, and the young woman to attend us was very friendly and spoke excellent English. Three friendly suggestions: 1. Maybe I am a naive tourist, but to me Bologna is the town of Ragu, Lasagne and Tortellini. When doing a food tour, I would have expected anything like this. 2. Maybe you could redesign your map? It shows a clear walking-path alongside the main monuments. Aditionally it shows two dozens of restaurants. They dont necessarily correspond to the vouchers you get. So you stand in a busy hot square, and need to figure out which vouchers correspond to which places on what part of the tour. I would have appreciated a simple „walk to sight A, then stopp and use your voucher B, then walk to sight C, and so on 3. Check the availability of your partners. We got 7 vouchers for 6 places, out of which one was closed for Ferragosts and one didnt accept the voucher after 17:00 (the whole tour starts at 15:00). So we paid 35 per person for two sandwiches, a glass of wine and a shared cold cut. Hope you can fix some issuses. Its a great idea in a great town!

• Loved the flexibility!!!

  Great tour that I’d definitely recommend! My family, 2 adults and 2 children (ages 8 and 10) really enjoyed the flexibility of the experience. We were only in town a few hrs and wished we had more time to enjoy the audio features as well. The food servings were perfect portions and the locations were very easy to find. My only ‘wish’ is that one of the vouchers was not for a magnet (a bit out of the way so we didn’t go)…and the coffee is only available in the morning but they gave us a much appreciated bottle of water instead (very hot out so it was great!). The self-paced was exactly what we needed and I’ll definitely do other similar tours in the future.

  

  

  

  

  

• Disappointing

  We thought it would be fun to do a self-guided food tour at our own pace, but were left very disappointed at the quality of some of the food. The taglieri (cold meats) was excellent, as was the espresso and ice cream. But the mortadella and stuffed breads were just tacky fast foods. Not what we would have expected on the culinary capital of Italy!

• Great to explore by yourself!

  Great idea. Self paced. Vouchers never go bad. Wonderful. Little booklet included a bunch of take away items and treats, a map, more recommendations and info audios.

• Good idea, but could be improved. Price a little high

  Various tours leave at 10.30am, so the guides are overworked and you have to wait in the cold for the other trips to be organised. I would advise the organizers to provide differentiated departure times. The map is not very clear, because everything is concentrated in the center. The idea is good, but be careful about changing the one provided in the vouchers! Ask for prices first

  Professional introduction to the city by a young woman fluent in English. She made it very clear how to locate the different places we were going to visit that day-with a map and individual coupons with QRC. Very easy to find. Food was amazing. Very flexible for us and the coupons never expire. The vendors at the food places treated us very special and we made other purchases in addition to enjoying the small bites. I really loved the places where we ate and appreciate the tourism department making it easy for foreigners. Thank you

  This was a lot of fun and great value. We were late by an hour and they were very nice and accommodating to meet us later. Study the map as some tastings are close to each other. The gelato was the farthest away so we stopped on the way out of town. More than enough food!

• History and food in Bologna!

  It's a very nice why to discover Bologna and its culinary traditions! You can take your time, since it's a self guided tour, with audioguides to discover the main monuments or point of interest in the city center, and food tasting vouchers that you can use in bar and restaurants along the itinerary. I highly recommend it :)
