Fun and informative day - Alissia was wonderful. Very informative and I learned a lot. Food was very good and the market tour was great. We went back after the tour and bought stuff for dinner. Highly recommended.

A Tour To Remember - The tour was incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Kayleigh - she has a fountain of knowledge that you just wouldn’t get with other guides. She gave us a new perspective on how much labour and love goes into the regions balsamic and parmigiano - the tour opened our eyes to how they should taste and ruined many of our old favourites in favour of the original. If you’re a foodie, this tour is a must. Thank you Kayleigh, from France’s & Alex

Modena Food Tour...fantastic! - This was way better than a normal food tasting tour. You actually got full plates of food a a glass of wine. Roberta, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She spoke English very well and explained the local food customs, etc. Included was a Balsamic Vinegar tasting, "full" charcuterie plate (and I mean full), a tour of a local market, pasta course...again, a full dish of pasta, and then a Gelato stop. 3 hours total. We have done several food tours in Italy and at home, in the USA, and this was one of the best.

Do this – you won’t regret it! - I have participated in many food tours across countries such as Japan, the USA, the UK, Vietnam, and many more, but this one has likely been the best at combining food, history, and information about the destination. Eugenio was fantastic and extremely engaging to listen to!

Good tour - There was just my husband & I on the tour, the tour was good & informative, but we would have liked a few more people to have joined us as we were the only ones eating as our host had already eaten, it felt a little odd! We enjoyed the tour & the food, but found it expensive for what we had. We paid extra for the drink package & had 3 glasses of wine. We have done many food tours in other cities & have noticed how expensive they are all getting, over £100 per head! I think we will just do our own tour next time.
