Food tour that is worth it! - Sara was a knowledgeable local and she has a great affinity with food and culture! We had an amazing time. Don’t eat before you start this tour, your appetite will definitely be fulfilled :) Also, not really a gluten-free appropriate tour but Sara made sure that we got an alternative at every stop :)

More than a tour, a lot of delicious food - Our guide Alissia was amazing. We got to try and taste so much local food and we enjoyed the city of Parma. I was so full after all the tasting. I barely had enough room for gelato.... barely

Great food at Parma Tour - We had a special experience with this food tour. We were very lucky to be able to book it and even luckier with our lovely guide Jihene. She is a sweet young lady who has a lot of knowledge of Parma and it’s food scenery. We enjoyed a lot and definitely recommend it. Luciana and Yoram
