Wonderful Parma Ham & Parmesan Cheese factory tour - We were able to see the actual production process of Parmesan cheese at the manufacturing facility which was so interesting. The cheese we tasted were incredible. Then we also got to see the Parma Ham manufacturing facility as well and appreciated learning how to identify qualified Parma Ham. The ham we tasted was delicious and the experience was most memorable!

A perfect slice of Italy and Prosciutto di Parma - It was a wonderful way to see two family run small scale cheese and ham operations in small personalized groups. Matthias our guide made it so much fun. The food and wine tastings were perfect. It’s a super way to get out of the bigger city, see the beautiful countryside of central Italy and see why the Parma Region is so special.

Don't Miss Out - Loris was fantastic. All around wonderful experience. We wish we did the third part of the tour including the Balsamic tour of Modena. His knowledge of the process and personality made the experience great.

Discovering Parma With Your Stomach… An Awesome Tour - One of the most delightful tours I have ever experienced. Mattia is a wonderful gentlemen from the Parma region. Before providing tours, he used to work in Parmeggianno-Reggiano cheese factories so having him explain step by step what the owners and workers were doing and why was so insightful. He has very good rapport with the owners. I enjoyed learning about the backgrounds of each of the owners of the cheese and prosciutto factories… I understand better why it is a wonderful marriage of Passion and Tradition in producing world-renowned products. The ambience was so friendly. Mattis answered all our questions.Food tasting is always the best part and experiencing how different it tastes from whatever products are sold in North America. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I had great company from citizens of Australia, Germany, India and USA.

Interesting and worthwhile tour - Very smooth and enjoyable day. Pick up was easy and my tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The group size was small enough that we were able to ask questions and really learn about the processes. Obviously the taste testing was the best bit! I wish I had purchased some of the cheeses afterwards!

Great cheese and prosciutto tour - Knowledgeable and personable guides/drivers. Very well organized. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area. The Trentalia train system offers early trains to Parma, so you can make the morning tour even if not staying in Parma. The tour operator offers a meeting point 50 yards from the Parma Train Station.
