Munching our way through Parma was a wonderful experience. Roberta was filled with lots of history of the area and a detailed knowledge of the tasty products we ate. We learned and ate a lot! I highly recommend this tour especially if you don’t have the time to visit the producers that are in the countryside.
A fantastic food tour and guide that filled our stomachs and hearts!

Our guide, Guilia, was very friendly, knowledgeable, an excellent communicator and obviously passionate about her city, culture, language and the people of Parma. She connected with us right away due to a coincidental shared history and made our time her a wonderful experience. The tour was well organized and involved fantastic food, wine, gelato, and an opportunity to learn about the standards associated with parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar and Parma meat production. We recommend this experience and Guilia enthusiastically. A don't-miss while you are in Parma!
Great guide great food

What a wonderful experience! Michelle was knowledgeable with interesting stories about the history of Parma and the food. This was our first walking tour and we will do it again. The private tour was the way to go because it felt like a conversation.
The Best!
