Fun and well planned experience - Amazing experience!
Everything was beautifully planned, from the meeting point to the tours of each facility. Our guide was very friendly and explained each process in a lot of details and happily answered any questions we had. The tasting of the Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto and Balsamic were also wonderful! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Parma.

Great day discovering local culinary delights - A fabulous day out with Mattia as our guide. So good seeing parmigiana being made; the curing of Parma ham and production of balsamic at the oldest production place in the world in Modena. Lots of good information from a local who knows his town very well. Would highly recommend this tour

Glad we did this. - Fabulous day. Great hosts, clean & comfy vehicle and visits to the Parmesan Reggiano and prosciutto facilities were so well explained and delivered with passion. ‘George’ aka Sergio, was an excellent presenter, a kind and considerate man who cares deeply about the integrity of the local food culture. As both a cheese and salumi maker the information was spot on. Thankyou.

Delightful day of tastings - It was a fun experience for our family to see how parmesan cheese is produced and the steps involved in making prosciutto. Plus the tasting of freshly made products was delicious. We also signed up for the balsamic tour and tasting in Modena. The driver had to drive back to Parma to drop off 2 people in our van at the train station. Then we went on to Modena. This made our trip about 30 minutes longer and the tour guide from the balsamic place was wondering what happened to us. This was the only negative of the day. The balsamic tour was great and educational plus she was very generous with all the tastings of balsamic vinegar.
