Discovering the gastronomic excellence of Emilia - We decided to spend a weekend with friends to discover the gastronomic excellence of Emilia and this tour proved to be the perfect choice. The producers selected by Michelle are small family businesses. We were struck by the very high quality of the products, far superior to those usually found in large retailers. The preparation of our guide allowed us to understand all the stages of processing in detail and to appreciate the characteristics of Parmigiano Reggiano as we had never done, through a guided tasting. We will turn again to Artemilia when we return to Emilia-Romagna, thanks Michelle!

Great competence and professionalism - I booked the tour to discover Parmigiano Reggiano and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar as a gift for some customers. They contacted me at the end of the visit to thank me, they were enthusiastic and complimented the authenticity of the experience and the professionalism of the guide who accompanied them. I will turn again to Artemilia in the future, I highly recommend

Great foodie and history tour of Parma - Michelle Baleria Costo is a fabulous guide. She not only knows the history of the city she knows the history of the food. She took us to her favorite food shops in the city and taught us about the cheese , ham and balsamic vinegar. Then we continued to learn about the pastas. After which we learned about the gelato and then the cakes and cookies of Parma. It was a great day of eating and learning about Parma. I highly recommend this trip!!!

Great experience, to be repeated in the future! - The tour was really interesting, much deeper than I initially thought. My husband booked it and I thought it was a tourist experience, but we actually visited with a private tour (it was just the two of us) small family businesses and our guide Roberta was nice and engaging. You can see that he has passion for his work, we loved it! I will recommend it to all my friends traveling in the area!

An unforgettable experience for all the senses - We were in a family group and this experience will never be forgotten! Roberta was always very helpful and very patient with us, she adapted the visit to our needs and answered all our questions. It was a pleasure listening to her and discovering the behind the scenes of products we usually consume, understanding how much passion, experience and work lies behind each individual process. We have already recommended this tour to our friends, we will definitely do it again!

Must do - A short trip from Bologna - Wow - Michelle was incredible. Full of knowledge and a passion for her home. Both of which are so clearly seen as she shares her vest knowledge on tours. She showed our tour group a parmigiano reggiano tour at Villa Aiola and balsamic tour at Acetaia Picci. Beautiful people and food. Thanks again, Michelle!
