Our guide (Bennedatta) was wonderful. Knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. She showed us all the things we wanted to see - markets, little independent shops and even done landmarks. The foods she chose for us to taste were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and will definitely recommend to others.

Excellent guide. Interesting places, food and drink. A pleasant experience at a manageable pace. Recommended. And another sentence as my review didn't have enough characters.

Excellente visite avec Christina. Nous n’étions que 2 et Christina parlait français. Nous avons beaucoup appris sur Bologne et ses traditions culinaires. Et dégusté de très bonnes choses. Christina a pris son temps et nous avons passé un moment exceptionnel.

Grazie Ela ! Wonderful food tour in Bolognia, making us discover meaningful markets and restaurants that we wouldn't have found by ourselves. Peppered with history, architecture and geography, the experience went by so fast because we were enjoying ourselves. Ela is knowledgeable, genuine and has a great sense of humor. Devour tours never seem to disappoint !
