Really nice and very educational. This helps you understand what to look for in P-R cheese and ham and why it is expensive in other countries. It’s evident that there is a lot of attention and passion that goes into the production. Our guide was terrific and the van transport was comfortable. A little pricier than other tours but worth it. They were generous with the tastings. We took home a LOT of cheese.

We have been to Italy many times over the years. We have never been to Parma. I saw this tour and knew we would enjoy. Our guide was Sergio great guy very knowledgeable. It was so interesting to learn the process how the cheese and prosciutto are made and all the hard work that is put into it. I highly recommend this tour.
