Wonderful - This tour was so much fun. You really get to see the full end-to-end cheese making process, which is incredible to watch unfold. And, the cheese tasting at the end is also fantastic. Going through the Parma Ham facility was also so interesting. Lisa was a great guide who was excellent at communicating the history and processes related to these incredible foods in the region. We loved the whole experience, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the excellent cuisine in and around Parma!

Fantastic tour with Lisa - Our private tour was led by the very knowledgeable Lisa! We especially loved the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy where we got to watch them make the cheese and got to meet the cows. Lisa was so kind and friendly and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and process.

Don't hesitate just book it. Great trip - Wonderful. A great driver and a personal luxuary van just for us. Lisa was our guide, her English was better that ours and we were born there. So much information presented by Lisa with in depth knowledge of all aspects of the tour. We now have even more respect for the artisans who not only spend their days making this amazing cheese but making the job look effortless. It was like watching a ballet and conductor at the same time all done in wellington boots and hardly a word spoken. Timing and skill , superb to watch. Then through beeeutiful countryside to Parma ham production place in the hills. Again fascinating, labor intensive which translates to those amazing flavors we associate with Parma Ham. Don't hesitate with this tour just book it and ask for Lisa because her command of English, Italian and German (possibly more languages) really added to the trip .
