You’ll follow your host as you eat your way around Italy’s food capital - Bologna! (We know, it’s a highly contested title in a country that gave us pizza and pasta.) Browse through historic markets, salumerie (delis), bars and speciality stores and discover Mercato di Mezzo, the oldest market in the city. It is tucked away in a medieval quarter known as the Quadrilatero, where you’ll also find plenty of coffee bars to stop at, under the quaint porticoes. Seasonal produce is king, and you’ll notice, smell and taste the sun-ripened fruit and fresh herbs as you wander from stall to stall.

Try some gourmet street food and sample staple products like mortadella, pecorino and fresh local bread, before strolling to one of the best gelaterias in town for a taste of Italy’s famous ice cream. Round off your day at the Mercato delle Erbe - the perfect spot to indulge in an aperitivo as you soak up the warm terracotta atmosphere of this historic city and its friendly people.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
