5.00Lorenzo was called in when our initial guide was unwell. He was worried about doing this tour in English but he was amazing. I had wandered around Parma having done a fair bit of research but Lorenzo explained the history and the city with passion and knowledge that made it all come alive. He changed my view of the city.
A brilliant tour of the culinary, cultural and social history of Parma - highly recommended!

5.00I can highly recommend this guided culinary walking tour of Parma! Giulia is an excellent tour guide as she is so friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about her hometown of Parma and its history and traditions. During this tour I learned about the history of Parma since Roman times, ate some excellent local food specialities and saw incredible landmarks including the Pilotta Palace, the market and Parma cathedral (Duomo). I also found the tour was very reasonably priced considering how enjoyable it was and how much was included. Thank you very much / Grazie mille, Giulia!
