Beautiful day in Parma - George is a pleasant, knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed learning the artisanship that goes into the making of the cheese and the hams. Was an enjoyable morning. Then have lunch in Parma and see the theater and museum.

Amazing Tour - An amazing and insightful experience. The guides Sergio and Loris were amazing, funny, friendly and knowledgeable about everything Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma Ham. The production factories we went to were family run. Claudio at the Parma factory was hospitable and welcoming whilst having a laugh with everyone. Awesome day overall.

I would do it again! - We truly enjoyed this tour. Sergio was great to pick us up at a predetermined location. He really made an effort since I did not get his initial messages (still in flight). I appreciate him. He was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and informative. We did not realize that there are 300+ Parmigiano Reggiano dairies in Parma, and only about 20 of them are organic. Our tour was with an organic dairy farm, we were VERY pleased. There is a greater appreciation for the Parmesan cheese when you see the entire process. We also learned more about the cheese from Sergio . . . best to break off parts to eat (more flavorful), rather than slice it up. Then he drove us to the Parma ham tour. Another great experience - amazing to see all that ham, in different stages too. We loved all the samples of cheese and ham. Sergio driving us to each location and explaining things throughout the tour made everything more convenient, comfortable and enjoyable. At the end, he dropped us off at our hotel. Sergio was a great tour guide. We enjoyed this tour very much and highly recommend it to everyone. I would do it again!

The Perfect Tour! - If I could give 10 stars, I would. Our guide spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about the Parmesan industry because he grew up in it. The Parma tour was interesting, but the Parmesan part was our favorite. Highly recommend!

Take this tour!!! - Sergio was the very best guide! The Parmesan tour was incredible - and so was the Parma Ham tour. We absolutely LOVED Claudio (the owner) and his wife - we couldn't have asked for a better time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Both places were close in proximity (less time in the vehicle) and the experience at each location was enjoyable, educational, and memorable.

Unique Experience! - It really was a unique experience! The huge advantage of this tour was not only to have the processes explained in detail, but also to be there live and experience the process and all the individual steps. Our tour guide made the tour very exciting! I can only recommend this experience to anyone who is in Parma! And don't forget: you can try and buy lots of Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma ham there!
