Great insight into Bologna's culinary history with friends. Ela was a terrific guide with a great sense of humour. So passionate about the city of Bologna, was very enjoyable walking the food market and Ela explained so much about the different foods, vegetables and Fregola! I look forward to doing another tour with her and would highly recommend anyone to join her group.

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.

Ela was very kind and direct. We learned a lot of interesting things about the city's past. The tastings were delicious and plentiful, no one will leave hungry! It was definitely worth coming! We got a lot of tips from Ela and helpful answers to all our questions. If you are in Bologna, don't miss it!
