5.00We had the absolute pleasure of touring Reggio Emilia with Ilaria, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. As a local, her knowledge of the city, its history, and—of course—its incredible food scene was truly impressive. She struck the perfect balance of informative and entertaining, sharing stories with warmth and humor that kept everyone engaged. What really set Ilaria apart was her kindness and personal touch. She went above and beyond by offering thoughtful dining recommendations for the rest of our stay, which turned out to be fantastic. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. If you’re considering a food tour in Reggio Emilia, don’t hesitate—book with Ilaria. Highly, highly recommend!
