Overview

Enjoy the best of both worlds! Bologna is most famous for both its "made for walking" medieval downtown area as well as its legendary cuisine, frequently referred to as the best and richest tasting by other Italians themselves. This tour will be divided between seeing the city's most important and significant landmarks (as well as some hidden gems and the many curious stories, anecdotes, and legends behind them) and then learning about a variety of local culinary specialties (ranging from wines, cheeses, cold cuts to sweets or ice-cream and other local finger foods) you can go taste for yourself at the end of the tour.

Tour Highlights:
*The iconic Neptune Statue.
*Piazza Maggiore Square - the heart of the city.
*The sprawling San Petronio cathedral.
*See the original site of the world's oldest university.
*Visit the truly one-of-a-kind Seven Churches cluster in the beautiful St. Stephen Square.
*Stand at the feet of the famous twin leaning towers - the symbol of the city.
*Explore the old town's open-air markets and cafes where you can taste the local food delicacies.
*All tours are family-friendly.
*The tour will take place even in the event of rain.

Neptune Statue

On arrival

I will be waiting for you standing in front of the drinking next to the Neptune statue. I will have a name tag with my credentials hanging from my neck. In the summertime, I will always be wearing a white polo shirt, while the rest of the year, I will let you know how to identify myself on a day-to-day basis beforehand.

Things to note

Please let me know in a timely fashion if you are unable to attend the tour so that I can plan accordingly.
