A must go ! - Anna Maria showed incredible enthusiasm and passion with her detailed tour throughout Parma Italy. This tour was picked last minute in an effort to “taste” the food of such a location and couldn’t have picked a better tour guide. Anna Maria kept conversation flowing and encouraged guests to ask questions. The 5 food establishments we visited each had their own unique variance that married each course to a particular part of Italian history. Me and my mother loved this experience and would recommend this trip to family and friends. Thank you Anna Maria !

A great experience with food and culture - Anna Maria was fabulous and a wealth of information on local food. It felt like having food with an experienced friend. Best tour and will now do more food tours if this is an example. I learned so much from Anna Maria, she is a star. Very relaxing way to learn and taste food. Louise

Parma delicacies tour - We visited 4 places tasting all the delicacies of Parma. Maybe I wouldn't end up with ice cream because it's not exactly typical although I understand that foreigners might like it a lot. Well done Anna Maria tried to reserve the best tables and the best experience for us….

A nice way to spend three hours - Anna Marie was a friendly, approachable guide. We visited four restaurants in very close proximity tasting a variety of food. When prompted we were given some history of the region which we found interesting and appreciated. The ice cream shop was unusual and I agree really fabulous quality ice cream. It was good to learn red lambrusco wine in Italy is a light refreshing wine unlike the nasty sweet stuff in UK with the same name.
