Our Sept 2024 Devour Tour of Bologna was excellent and we would recommend it highly. Our guide, Ela Duric, was outstanding … and taught us so much about the food, culture, history of Bologna! Mille grazie!

This is a fun and quite filling tour. We neededno dinner. My only complaint is that, at least for my taste, some foods like the sandwiches and pasta were rather bland and needed condiments like pickles and mustard for the sandwiches and more tomato sauce in the ragu.
