Enjoyed Bologna Walking Tour with Devour so much. Our guide was Ella, who was the best. Beautiful inside and out. Sweet, funny and very knowledgeable. Was such a fun tour and I cannot speak more highly of it.

The knowledge and communicating skills of Filippo were excellent. The destinations chosen were excellent. The lunch was what we expected, and very tasty. We very often dine out at good restaurants, so maybe we expected more.
The biggest factor for us was Filippo and his knowledge of the local cheese, ham, and aceto balsamico. It was outstanding and, for us, what we were most impressed with. After all, this is what we were really paying for.
Thank you for everything.

Great bites (and sips) of Bologna! Ela was a terrific guide, sharing the perfect introduction to Bologna's food scene and tips of where to go during our visit.

A delightful glimpse & taste of Bologna's rich culinary traditions!. An excellent taste of Bologna! Ela was a fantastic guide, sharing some of the history of Bologna as well as the stories and tastes of the food & culinary heritage. Even on a scorching hot day, the amount of walking was reasonable even for the older members of our group and the couple wheeling their luggage along as well. Definitely recommend!
