Excellent food tour - This food tour was exceptional. Wandering the streets of Modena, an insight into the history, and stopping at different locations for sampling of local food was incredibly good. We were introduced to a wide range of foods, and the markets visit was fantastic. Such high quality food and variety, coupled with the knowledge and expertise of our guide was excellent. Would highly recommend the tour for those wanting to sample local and regional foods,

Fun and tasty tour - Loredana was a very charming and experienced guide. Lots of tasty food stops and at pretty slow pace on a hot day in Modena. Market, cafe, balsemica shop and a gelati shop. Loredana was very kind and caring for all the people in our group including two small children.

A real must do if you want to taste Modena. - We had a really lovely, full and exciting food tour with our guide Loredana. In total we were with 6 persons. The places we visited, the food and wine we tasted, all great. Loredana was very knowlegde-able and we could ask her all kinds of questions. All in all a great experience in a lovely group.

Excellent Tour - This was an excellent tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the local food, and she also gave us a lot of interesting information about Modena. The places she took us to and the food tastings were, I believe, the best in Modena. I highly recommend this tour.

A lovely and educational cultural experience! - If not a tad pricey - Laurie was a wonderful guide and the tour was great! It was informational, the food was good, and we learned quite a bit about Moderna food culture, as much as we could in an afternoon. The route of the tour itself was fine but it was our guide that really made it entertaining and educational! Very enjoyable I definitely recommend. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star review because it IS quite pricey for what it is. Even with reserved spots for each place we went to and the guide's expertise, we still expected a bit more food, maybe a full meal to tie things together to justify the price. Once again, enjoyed the tour thoroughly and would recommend, it's just a little expensive!
