Great Tour with a Great Guide - We had such a fun day. Roberto was an excellent guide – funny and very knowledgeable. His passion and obvious joy for what he does made it more enjoyable. Watching the cheese making process was fascinating - really provides perspective. The ham production was interesting and the family that runs the business was really nice. The tastings were plentiful and delicious! We took a quick train ride in from Bologna and easily found the group. Everything was well organized. Highly recommend this tour - especially if you get Roberto for your guide!

Amazing experience - Our guide, Lorus, was incredible. He speaks multiple languages, is a level 3 sommelier, a certified balsamic expert, has great knowledge of the production aspects of these wonderful foods and also has a great sense of humor. His demeanor only elevated such a wonderful experience with the cheese and the prosciutto. He also took us to Modena to the areas oldest acetaio. I did not see that option when we booked, but he allowed us to add it. Lorus' trip is a DEFINITE MUST EXPERIENCE.

Buttery yummy prosciutto di Parma - This was much better than expected. The parmigiano plant was interesting and there was ample cheese to taste. The ham factory was awesome. The owner was the sweetest host. So generous in terms of his time and his prosciutto! Fun afternoon

A must-do if you visit Parma!!! - I learned a lot about the foods I like to eat, and it was very cool to see, smell, and taste the actual process of making Parmesan and Prosciutto in person. We got to visit/witness many aspects of the quaint, local factories, which made it feel like a very unique, exclusive, and behind the scenes experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. He took great care to learn the names of each person in our tour group, and make us feel involved and engaged throughout the experience.
