About this tour.
Since we get these questions a lot, we wanted to clarify the following:
The tours are ENGLISH ONLY we do not tours in any other language. The departure points are Modena train station, your hotel in Central Modena or Bologna train station, or your Bologna hotel. We do not have any other meeting points.
The pick up in Modena is approx 8.30 am, and Bologna approx 8.30, for the morning tours there are no other departures. If you cannot make this in time you can consider to take our afternoon aperitivo tours.
The foodie's delight tours cannot be a private tour. Most of our tours are small, for example if you come in low season, the tour will be most likely just for yourself.

*When we say small and semi private tour the mean that: we use small people carrier vans to take our guests around, our tour will be always in small groups, and personable and we will always make best effort to maintain it this way, however during busy periods on and around Italian national holidays the ham location might have company events and other larger group of guests visiting at the same time, this happens only very occasionally. Time of tour are estimates delays might occur. When booking this tour you also agree to these terms and conditions we strongly suggest to avoid making booking if this factors are an issue for you.
