    A wonderful experience and highly recommended!

    A wonderful experience and highly recommended! The tours offered by The Village Italy are truly stunning: unique activities, meticulously curated details, and designed to reveal an authentic Emilia-Romagna, far from the usual tourist paths. The places visited are fantastic, full of history, atmosphere, and beauty, and you can feel all the passion with which Filippo and Giada create these experiences. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something real, special, and different from the classic tourist tour. And then Filippo and Giada as guides are simply legendary: knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, and capable of making you feel immediately immersed in the story of the places.

    Response from the operator: Many thanks for your review! Our aim is to make all the clients satisfied and we are happy we succeed with your tour. Many thanks for your compliments, we are moved :) We hope to meet you again in our charming Romagna! Filippo and Giada

    Beautiful day, wonderful guide

    Elise is a fantastic tour guide! Honestly, I did this tour because I wanted to spend a day in the countryside with some cute animals. Did not disappoint. I took selfies with goats, sheep, a horse, and a cow. Elise knows about the berries that grow wild in the area, and she treated me to some tasty cherries right off the tree. I also enjoyed the tour of the castle at Dozza. Elise knows so much about the history of the place, and answered my questions about the prison and the torture devices--personal interest of mine and so I was thrilled. She is also a delightful human and we had fun conversations together. Couldn't recommend her more highly! Definitely take this tour with Elise. And say "hi" to Vito the goat.

    Response from the operator: Many thanks for your great review! It's a joy to hear how much you love the Farm expercience and meeting all the farm's animals. Vito the goat and all others friends said SEE YOU SOOOON! :)

    Lovely guide and well planned day

    Ilaria was a delightful guide. She was knowledgeable and the day went at a relaxed pace. She was flexible when there were things we were more (or less) interested in. We visited a winery and had a lovely tasting and lunch , then to Dozza. A very nice day trip from Bologna .

    Response from the operator: Many thanks for your great review! Beeing flexible is part of our work and we are able to do it because all our tours are PRIVATE!! Only you and your tour leader and, now, new friend! :) We hope to meet you again soon :)

    Perfect day in the Italian countryside!

    What an amazing day touring lesser populated parts of Italy! Our last day before leaving for Greece could not have been more perfect! Ilaria and Gabriele picked us up in the morning for our adventure. Both are locals of the area putting this tour together to give people a truly unique experience. First stop was to Dozza which is a magical town steeped in history. Ilaria will educate you with its rich history and stories from the past. She also explained the art on the buildings and the festival every two years! We even uncovered some new dragon easter egg artwork with its own new story. Dozza is breath taking with sweeping views and an amazing wine cellar. This tiny town will leave you wondering what the day to day was like for the people and Ilaria brings this all to life! Next stop was the working farm and lunch at the top of a hill outside of Imola in the Emilia-Romagna region. My family loved every minute of this visit. We met all the animals, learned the family history of the farm and ended with the most amazing food! The best part of all of this was the people. Spending time learning and connecting with Ilaria, Gabriele and Alex at the farm was wonderful! If you are looking for something slightly off the beaten path and to immerse yourself in a different way with a different culture, this tour is for you. I would recommend this day to any history, cultural, nature, animal or food lover! If you are like us and love them all then book this without hesitation. It was our favorite day of our entire trip to Italy! Thank you Ilaria and crew for helping us build lifetime memories ❤️

    Response from the operator: Thanks Barbara for your kind review! WIsh you all the best for your future travels and hope to meet your family again one day... Much love, Ilaria.

    FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna cost?

    +

    Prices start at $456 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 FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bologna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna?

    +

    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 FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna?

    +

    Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna 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 FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna?

    +

    Included: Pick up and drop off from and to Bologna downtown; Farm Stay Experience-Stefano will introduce you to the working farm; animals, hemp & honey; In-vehicle air conditioning; Lunch; and DOZZA-Stroll through the colourful Historic Center and visit the 14th Century Rocca.

    Where is the meeting point for FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna?

    +

    What languages is FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna offered in?

    +

    +

    Is FARM STAY EXPERIENCE & DOZZA - Private Day Tour From Bologna wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
