Delicious - This was a very well organized and professional experience. Nice Mercedes van with a friendly driver. Lisa was our guide and she was extremely knowledgeable. Amazing how much she knew. The dairy visit was interesting and mostly kept the kids (7 and 10) entertained.

Fantastic tour with Lisa - Our private tour was led by the very knowledgeable Lisa! We especially loved the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy where we got to watch them make the cheese and got to meet the cows. Lisa was so kind and friendly and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and process.

Don't hesitate just book it. Great trip - Wonderful. A great driver and a personal luxuary van just for us. Lisa was our guide, her English was better that ours and we were born there. So much information presented by Lisa with in depth knowledge of all aspects of the tour. We now have even more respect for the artisans who not only spend their days making this amazing cheese but making the job look effortless. It was like watching a ballet and conductor at the same time all done in wellington boots and hardly a word spoken. Timing and skill , superb to watch. Then through beeeutiful countryside to Parma ham production place in the hills. Again fascinating, labor intensive which translates to those amazing flavors we associate with Parma Ham. Don't hesitate with this tour just book it and ask for Lisa because her command of English, Italian and German (possibly more languages) really added to the trip .

Parmesan Cheese, Parma Ham, and Medieval Castle - This was one of the best tours we have ever gone on. Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable and detailed about operations at the cheese and ham plants. She was patient in answering our many questions and very engaging throughout. Coming in, I didn’t know how much I would care for the operational aspects but her passion and delivery made it very interesting. Highly recommend taking the half day for this tour. Well worth it and a highlight of our Italy trip so far!

Worthwhile Tour - This is a very informative tour, and our guide, Cecilia, is very knowledgeable regarding the process of producing these wonderful products. The experience was well worth the investment of time. Tasting the goods was also a great highlight as we were getting hungry during the tour. I highly recommend this if you are a foodie or interested in the way these products are made. It is very interesting. Thank you Cecilia.

A memorable visit to a flavorful Parma - We did two days tour with Michelle. The first day was on Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto, and another day was the food walking tour within Parma (We also asked her to add balsamic vinegar tour at the end of the second day). Michelle was amazing in explaining history, the process of making the products, and culture in a very detail-oriented manner. So both days were very insightful and fun. For the food walking tour, be prepared for the flavorful tastings, and please skip your breakfast before the tour as you will taste so many things!
