Tours & Guided Tours in Bologna

60 tours in Bologna, from €25 to €460 per person, average rating 4.8 based on 14669 reviews.

We read every listing for the 60 Bologna tours on this page and kept only those rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €25 per person for a historic centre walk to €460 for a day visiting car factories and museums. A Bologna food tour lets you try local pasta, wine and gelato as you walk through the city.

A quick way to choose: check how many tastings your private food tour option covers; car museum trips and factory visits have different itineraries; and a historic centre tour labelled private or semi private needs an option check before booking. For more things to do in Bologna, the categories below separate cooking classes from city walks and days out. The best reviewed Bologna tours come first below.

Viator lists 477 tours for Bologna. Guidekin lists 60 of them, chosen by rating (4.5★ or higher, 30+ reviews), each one read and summarised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with a food tour for local dishes; allow about 3 hours. Choose a class to make pasta yourself, or a city walk for sightseeing. Food tours: 21, median €84 per person as listed. Classes: 16, median 3 hours, at €89. The walking and bike collection has 13 listings. Food and Market Tour with Local Dishes (4.95 from 1,734 reviews; €60 per person); its starting price is the Express option, not every menu and duration.

Choose the Food Valley for Parmigiano and balsamic tastings at the producers, the Motor Valley for the Ferrari and Lamborghini museums. Both eat a full day: median 7 hours and 8 hours. The Food Valley collection has 7 listings, median €159 per person as listed. Motor Valley has 5, median €440. Food Valley prices start at €39, but that is the balsamic lunch in Modena, with travel from Bologna arranged separately. Some food days start in Parma or Reggio Emilia. Museum entry, lunch and hotel pickup depend on the selected tour and option.

Budget €95 per person as listed for this catalogue and €263 for its day trip selection. These are starting prices; departure and transport depend on the option. Across 60 listings, the median is €95 per person as listed, with the middle half at €66 to €151. The day trip subset used here has 12 listings, median €263; it is not an exhaustive count of producer trips. Pasta and Tiramisu Class with Wine (4.94 from 984 reviews; €59 per person) is an example of a class in Bologna. A regional visit can require separate travel to its starting point.

For a couple, start with shared tours at a median €85 per person as listed. Choose private for your own party; a shared starting price on a private flagged card is not a private quote. 22 of 60 listings are marked private and 38 shared. Their median card prices, €113 and €85 per person, are a spread between different products, not a premium. Some private flagged listings start with a shared option, so the first median is not a median of private option prices. Rates and minimum parties depend on the option. The Private Tours collection has 16 listings, a different set from all products marked private.

Plan a meeting point unless your booking includes pickup: 13 of 60 listings carry the hotel pickup flag. For English, choose an English departure. Hotel pickup is flagged on 13 of 60 listings. A flag can cover an optional transfer, and a walking guide may meet you at your accommodation without a vehicle. English is listed on tours across the catalogue, but not on every listing. Use the language and pickup filters, then confirm the selected option and pickup address with the operator.

For a plan without a city walk, start with cooking classes: 10 of 16 carry the strollers and infants flag. Age limits still vary by class. 43 of 60 listings carry the strollers and infants flag; it is not an age suitability rating. Food tours: 19 of 21. Wheelchair access is operator marked on 24 of 60 listings. Tour duration does not measure time on foot, and the walking collection includes rides. Filter first, then confirm the child age, walking requirements, dietary needs and any access arrangements with the operator.

Book the City Walking Tour for the squares and Quadrilatero. The walking and bike collection has a median starting duration of 2 hours; some options run longer. The walking and bike collection has 13 listings, median €110 per person as listed. These include rides and tours with several duration options. Bologna City Walking Tour (4.52 from 837 reviews; €28 per person); some departures combine English and Italian. Wheelchair access is operator marked on 8 of 13 listings; filter first, then confirm the route with the operator.
