My husband and I booked this short tour at the last moment. Another couple was supposed to join us, but we're no-shows, so lucky us, we had Giada to ourselves for the morning. It was very enjoyable, very recommended. Lovely parmesan!

The tour was professional and informative. I got to see many of the sites and eat many of the delicious food on offer, especially the parmasan cheese. I will have to come back with the family next time.
A great time!
