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.

Packed with useful information

Jason introduced us to the magnificence of Bologna. My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend his tour. Packed with information about authentic Bologna - his guiding is thoughtful and revealing of life in this amazing city. Very easy to hear Jason even over the roar of the odd Ducatti. It's clear he takes the job seriously.

Bologna tour

Jason is a very knowledgeable and passionate guide, well organized that takes his job seriously. Gave us useful insights on the history and culture of Bologna. A couple of stars are missing, because I would appreciate less of an academic presentation and some more interaction with the group, along with a dose of humor. Nonetheless, this my personal view on the subject and overall, I would definitely recommend the tour.
