Walking into the storage rooms and seeing thousands of the Parma hams hanging It was very interesting to learn about how the weather; temperature and the age all affects the quality of the ham
A great experience for foodies

This tour is highly recommended if you're into food culture at all. Loved being able to taste and try authentic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Parma ham, and balsamic vinegar. The drive through the countryside was beautiful as well. Tour guide was informative and made sure everything about the tour (including pickup time, location, and how to get there) was clear. Bus was comfortable as well. No complaints at all!

We did the 1/2 day experience. It was absolutely amazing and have already recommended it to family who are going to Parma soon. Lisa (our Guide) knows her stuff and loves Parma very much. She is knowledgeable, personable, and very engaging. We would highly recommend this tour to others. Started at 930am, we were able to observe an actual Cheese Master in action, tasted the best cheese in my life, toured a ham factory - equally amazing, and then sampled some of the most amazing local meats. We left after that but many stayed on for the lunch and vinegar experience.
