“Simone, the guide, is such a great guy. He is knowledgeable and caring. During the tour, you can have piadina, tortellini in brodo, and a glass of local wine for pairing. Then, moving to the street market you can have tigella and finish the tour with gelato. Apart from what Simone takes you to, he can give loads of recommendation on what to eat and where to buy specific things in Bologna. Highly recommended!!”
