Night lift and bites tour Bologna

Eric_H, Jan 2023

Frederick was a true historian of the city he grew up in and loves, and did an excellent job between history, a fantastic food tasting and showing us some great night life spots near the university. A lot of fun, thank you!

Sarah is the best

Lee_H, Jun 2022

This was the best tour and guide we had in Bologna. Sarah was excellent and always made sure we were comfortable. The food and wine were fabulous. Highly recommend Sarah!

Gioia was a great guide...

Odette_T, Jan 2022

Gioia was a great guide and took care of us throughout the tour, showing us different places to go to and letting us experience Bologna's specialties with bites of food and drinks in each spot. We ended up at a wine bar at the end of our tour, enjoyed each other's company beyond the tour, and got to know Gioia personally. We wish the best of luck to her and her endeavors! Definitely do this tour in the late afternoon/evening or around dinner time. It was great to see the area come alive and be a part of the Bologna night scene.
