Hello everyone and welcome to this beautiful land of astonishing architecture, great food and warmth atmosphere. My name is Sacha, I am a licensed tour guide and I will be more than happy to help you discover the hidden treasures of this region.

After my Bachelor's degree in Cultural Heritage in Venice, I moved to Bologna where I got my Master's degree in History of art. That's when I have decided to turn my main interests into my job and became an Emilia-Romagna tour guide. My idea of tour is to get you in touch with the local spirit and culture of this land. I will share with you the history and the artistic heritage of this beautiful cities, as well as its typical laid back lifestyle, without forgetting the amazing gastronomic tradition. I am glad to personalise my tours focusing on what you are more interested in. You will be spoiled for choices! - National tour guide license - Master's degree in History of art - Bachelor's degree in Cultural Heritage I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

We came to Bologna for work, but were able to fit in this tour — and it MADE the city for us. We learned about (and tasted) so many local foods. We wandered through local markets and got a sense of how the locals buy and eat. It was a truly wonderful (and delicious) experience. And, Sasha is an absolute delight — warm and friendly. A tip: arrive HUNGRY!

Sacha was absolutely wonderful! She was full of interesting stories about Bologna, it's food history and kept the entire afternoon full of fun! Don't forget about the food....every stop we made had a backstory and added so much to our experience! We would absolutely recommend an afternoon with Sacha!!

The food tour was SO good. Sacha knew all the places to go and really did a great job of explaining the importance of food in Bologna. The places we went to eat were amazing and authentic - and filling! Our 14 & 12 year old loved the tour. Wish we could go back right now and do it again. Thanks Sacha!

Sacha is knowledgeable, cheerful, and attentive to our interests and questions. She plans a good tour, and can modify on the fly. Her Bologna food tour was interesting and delicious.

Excellent tour of the city marketplace, including tastings at a coffee house, pasta making store, meat and cheeses and then gelato. Sacha was a wonderful guide and had a lot of information to share. Highly recommended.

Sacha gives an excellent tour of the Bologna food scene. She was knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be with. A great way for food lovers to get to know Bologna.

Your Bologna tour itinerary

Each bolognese day starts in front of a good coffee, and so will this tour. After a chat in front an espresso or cappuccino in a typical caffetteria, we will head to Piazza Maggiore, heart and soul of the city and one of the most beautiful squares of Italy. We will start our tastings from a pasta factory where you will have the chance to see "sfogline" (ladies in charge of making pasta) at work and taste one Bologna pride's: tagliatelle al ragù. After pasta, it's time for cold cuts: a charcuterie board with the best cured meats and cheeses of the region will make you understand why Bologna is called 'the fat'. Of course some local wine will accompany the experience. After a short walk we'll finish with an ice-cream in one of the most beautiful squares of Bologna. (in case the tour is done in the afternoon, coffee/cappuccino can be replaced by chocolate tasting)
