Excellente visite avec Christina. Nous nétions 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 !
