Yum and Fun! - What an amazing experience! The TastyBus full-day tour was the perfect combination of delicious food, local culture, and beautiful sights. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and the tastings were absolutely fantastic—authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the day so much fun. I left with a full belly and a deeper appreciation for the region. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a true taste of the area!

Foodseeing in Parma - The food was amazing, the lunch was great, and the tour guide was very nice. The Parma ham was great, the hill the factory was on had an amazing view.

Best tour ever with a very knowledgeable guide. - So happy they did not cancel as I was the only traveller. Well done Tastybus 👍 I had an amazing day sampling delicious food. My guide was very knowledgeable, super friendly and very interesting to talk to. Thank you for an amazing day. My only regret was buying balsamic vinegar in Modena as the balsamic vinegar on this tour was outstanding at accetaia Picci. I would have bought a second bottle if I had not already bought some the day before.

Amazing comprehensive tour of the classics of Parma - This was a fantastic experience that allowed us to learn and taste traditional parmigiano Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, and proscuitto. The tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. My favorite part was visiting the acetaia and learning how to make traditional balsamic vinegar and meeting the owner Paolo!

A delicious day of food and fun for a great price!! - We stumbled onto this tour through an internet search. It was well priced and inclusive. The driver was sweet and the tour guide was gracious. Only four clients were scheduled so it was a friendly group. We learned lots about the food sourcing, aging and marketing. Of course, the food sampling and lunch were tasty! Our guide even answered other random questions we had about Italy best she could. We HIGHLY recommend this tour company!!

Learn why the region is the food hub of Italy - Very informative tour of parmesan cheese, parma ham & traditional balsamic vinegar production. Our guide Sophia was very knowledgeable. We had a group of 5, which made the tour personal. The sites we visited were very co-operative with allowing us to see their excellent processing plants, and experienced on-site personnel.
