# Bologna Private Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings

**Guidekin's take:** You pick either six or ten tastings, among them tortellini fritti and Formaggio Bianco, and the guide is yours alone for the walk. Monuments are seen from the outside only, there is no hotel pickup, and vegetarian swaps need a message to the host first. 4.58 from 350 reviews at €113 per person.
