Great Parma and Modena food tour! - This was such an enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant! The parmesano-reggiano factory was fascinating to see the entire process from beginning to end! The parma proscuitto stop was also interesting, but shorter due to the process being more concise. But, Claudio was adorable and the samples were delizioso! The stop to Modena was a bit of a drive from Parma, but was still interesting to add on to our tour. The samples were good, but it was also a bit of a sales pitch to purchase (which we of course did). Overall, I would recommend the tour.

Wonderful food tour - Loved it! We saw Parmesan cheese being made and learned all about the process, saw a small family operations that makes Parma ham, and toured a balsamic vinegar business. We tasted everything and left with edible souvenirs. Book your tour early in the morning to see the Parmesan cheese makers at work.
