Great day long excursion! - This was a wonderful day trip seeing how Parmesan cheese is made, the aging process of prosciutto, and how balsamic vinaigrette is made. The host of the trip was fantastic! He explained everything important to know and made sure we all understood what was happening. I loved this excursion and would recommend it to anyone!

Interesting, fun and tasted really good ! - Great to go to the small pork and cheese producers and get close to the action. The balsamic vinegar experience was a bit more touristy but still a great experience. Our guide Loris was fantastic.

Fantastic- not to be missed - Fabulous tour- worth every cent we paid. Our guide Lioris made the experience wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining and told us so much about the production of the cheese and the prosciutto production. I highly recommend this tour

Best way to see Parma Prosciutto & Parmegiano Reggiano at the source. - Pickup was on time and easy to find. Communication was good. We wanted to be dropped off at Modena Station rather than returning to Parma, and half the group needed the same. It was no problem and well organised.
The tour itself was delightful. All I hoped for. Matteo was easily understood & had a great sense of humour. He gave clear explanations of the food processes without any tedium. The businesses we attended were small, privately owned, or coops of a few farmers. It was all very artisanal. And wonderful for that. I can't imagine being able to organise a tour like this on my own.

miniature mini-van! - The tour vehicle was a tiny mini-van that had 6 persons already crammed in before stopping to pick us up (an additional 4 adults). I am 6'2" and had zero chance of riding comfortably and safely in this vehicle. My wife is tiny, and I'm not sure that she could have fit. I opted out of joining the tour due to my apprehensions with the van. The driver was very polite, sympathetic, and wanted to somehow rectify the situation.
5 stars to him! Unfortunately one star for the disappointing experience. (and ZERO stars to Viator, who asked for a review and then censored me!)
