Michelle was a fantastic guide who was so knowledgeable about Parma - its history, its food and its other products like perfumes and violets. We really enjoyed our time on the tour and the tasting stops were delicious and very generous.

Lisa was an amazing guide for our tour. It was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Her suggestions were great and she was very personable- it was like we’d known her forever! Perfect stops and everything was delicious. We did the pay as you go option because of a few food allergies and it was perfect for our family. Highly recommend it even if it’s the only thing you go to Parma for.
