Authentic, relaxed and funny
Emilio definitely deserves an 11/10! Thanks to his humor and passion, the tour felt more like spending an evening with a friend than a typical guided tour. A wonderful experience, which I would I highly recommend.

It was very nice with Emilio. WhatsApp was the name of the Restaurant with the Forst Beer?

If you are expecting a party vibe, not the right place
signed up for the pub crawl in Bologna thinking it would be a fun outing and a chance to meet young people since Bologna is a big student city. Unfortunately it was quite disappointing. Apart from me and my girlfriend there were only two other people and the host, so in total we were just five people. Considering we paid €20 and it doesn’t even include any drinks or shots, you at least expect a bit of a party vibe. The first place we went to felt more like a café or restaurant rather than a bar. The second place had no space for us which made it seem like the host isn’t really known there or doesn’t go there regularly. After that he suggested another place which again was more like a dinner spot than a bar. What made it even more awkward was that the host himself wasn’t drinking and the other two people who joined the crawl also didn’t drink, so it was basically just me and my girlfriend drinking while everyone else sat around. It honestly didn’t feel like a pub crawl at all. If there were only four participants I believe it should have been cancelled rather than going ahead with something that clearly didn’t match what was advertised.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t match your expectations. Our Italian Pub Crawls are a bit different from the classic “all-you-can-drink party crawl.” As explained in the description, the idea is to explore local spots, meet people and enjoy a social night out in a relaxed way, rather than focusing only on heavy drinking. We never force anyone to drink and we welcome everyone — including people who prefer not to drink alcohol — so that everyone can feel comfortable and included. Sometimes group sizes can vary depending on the day, especially outside of peak weekends, but we always do our best to create a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere for those who join. We try to make people socialise the Italian way. We still appreciate your feedback and will use it to keep improving the experience. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Bologna and wish you great travels ahead! 🍷

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bologna Pub Crawl to meet people: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bologna.
How much does Bologna Pub Crawl to meet people cost?
+
Prices start at $22 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 Pub Crawl to meet people take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Pub Crawl to meet people worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 26 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 Pub Crawl to meet people?
+
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 Pub Crawl to meet people suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bologna Pub Crawl to meet people?
+
Around 9 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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bologna Pub Crawl to meet people 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.
