“Marco, our driver was very cordial and prompt, and kept us on schedule. The cheese factory was amazing and very informative, and had a lovely tasting at the end. The Ferrari and Lamborghini museums were very well done and 45 minutes was plenty of time to take those in. The balsamic vinegar stop was the best. Hearing and seeing the process of making it and then tasting the product was sublime. The lunch that they served there was so good! We highly recommend this tour”

The two food tours were quite educational and delicious, and the winery visit & lunch gave us an appreciation for the local wine and food. Ending at the Ferrari Museum was also fun because we saw works of art with 4 wheels — simply amazing cars; all the display explanations were also in English which enabled us to enjoy the cars even more.”

6.Lamborghini & Ferrari Museums Private Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 40 reviews · from $356

Private Lamborghini and Ferrari museums day tour from Bologna with hotel pickup, guided factory sights in Maranello, and a 2-course lunch.

“Ferrari museum and tour excellent. Driver didn’t speak English and had to use google translate. This was not what we expected and made a 2 way conversation stilted/difficult. The driver did try hard though. Lunch - more information prior would have been better. We were not expecting a tasting which although it was enjoyable meant our actual lunch was very rushed - 2 hours were required not just 1 hour. The owner was disappointed for us and being rushed took away from the experience. Given the cost of the whole experience we feel mildly disappointed.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 35 reviews · from $396

A 7-hour Bologna food tour with small-group visits to Parmigiano, traditional Modena balsamic, and a winery lunch.

“Our drive was fantastic, pointing out different sites and local info all along the way. Our 1st stop was Caseificio Bio Reggiani for the cheese tour. This was interesting but would have liked to see more of the beginning stages or making cheese. Acetaia Villa San Donnino was fantastic. The tour guide was wonderful and we learned so much about the differences between mass produced "balsamic" and traditional balsamic. Our last stop was at Agrituristica Le Casette and this had to be the highlight of the tour. The views walking through the vineyard were amazing and only better view was during lunch where we could see the church in the…”
