Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Bologna worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Bologna and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Bologna?

It’s hard to choose with so many incredible dishes in Bologna, but many say their favorites are either tagliatelle al ragù or tortellini in brodo.

Are tourists welcome in Bologna?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Bologna tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Bologna.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Bologna experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
