    Wonderful walking tour!...

    Wonderful walking tour! Our guide, Riccardo, was great. He is a wealth of knowledge both of history and food. We learned so much during our tour and we really enjoyed our conversation with him. I highly recommend this tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice words!

    Bologna by night food & wine walking tour

    I would say this is more a Bologna by night history tour as we only had one stop for pasta and wine and the rest of the time it was walking around the streets and having a history lesson. Our guide was Elena and she was lovely. We had a bit of a mix up in regards to the date and time and meeting place but eventually got it sorted. Elena was very passionate about the history of the area and I thought that I would recommend doing a tour like this at the beginning of your visit rather than us doing it at the end as we learnt about the area and were informed about some places that we would have loved to go to but were leaving the next day. Lesson learnt for next time. Overall, a good tour if you want to learn about the history of Bologna.

    Response from the operator: Thank you

    Bologna By Night Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bologna.

    How much does Bologna By Night Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bologna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bologna By Night Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bologna is not rushed.

    Is Bologna By Night Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bologna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bologna By Night Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bologna By Night Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bologna By Night Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bologna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bologna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bologna By Night Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bologna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bologna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bologna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bologna Local Pasta Cooking Class, Ragu, Spritz, Wine & Gelato, Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days, Small Group Bologna Food Tour – Local Food & Market Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bologna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bologna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Bologna By Night Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: A voucher for a dessert; Welcome by the Bologna Tour staff; Map of Bologna; Tasting vouchers; and Certified tour guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Bologna By Night Walking Tour?

    +

    In front of the Neptune fountain, on the stairs of the Bar Vittorio Emanuele Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Bologna By Night Walking Tour offered in?

    +
