Amazing Experience
Could not recommend this tour more, had a 12:30 train out of Parma that day but the transfers made everything super convenient. Got to see the entire cheese making process, taste the cheeses, and visit the cows. Our guide was incredibly nice and informative, and overall. had a wonderful experience.

Lovely way to experience Parma
Lovely tour and tour guide. Was very happy with the walking distance, the food we ate, the things we saw and experienced, and the history and everything we learned. Our guide made us feel welcome and comfortable. It was the perfect tour to get to know Parma and I would highly recommend our guide, and this tour.

Parma Cheese and Prosciutto Tour—Delizioso!
We visited Parma for our first time and wanted the “full effect” of what the area has to offer. This tour of the cheese and prosciutto factory did just that! Our tour guide a retired engineer was very knowledgeable and witty in his own way. The samplings at both factory were a real treat and beyond —delizioso! We got to meet the owner of the prosciutto factory and he took great pride in his product. Overall a great experience and a must do if you are in the Parma area.

An incredibly special way to spend time in Parma, Italy!
We had an incredible half-day experience with Eliza - she was truly remarkable. Her encyclopaedic knowledge of both geography and food, especially the Parmesan and Parma ham facilities we visited, was astounding. She was dynamic and funny and warm and entertaining and it made for a very special day for my daughter and for me. We hope that she continues to share here love of food and Parma with visitors - she's a fabulous advocate for food culture and for the entire region!

Lisa, our guide, was a...
Lisa, our guide, was a lifelong Parma resident and an expert on the area, and Parma food traditions and specialities, especially Parmigiana Reggiano and Parma Ham. We thoroughly enjoyed her commentary and insights and learnt a lot during the half day tour. Tastings at both the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and Parma Ham factory were delicious! Thoroughly worth doing if you are staying in or within a few hours of Parma.

Emilian Excellence
The experience was extremely immersive and offered a great tasting and tour of the production areas. Our favorite place had to be the Parma Ham factory where we were able to meet the master himself, Claudio. This in itself was worth the entire tour in addition the smaller production of Parmigiano Reggiano was extremely interesting to see the handmade crafting of wheels of cheese. Lastly, the balsamic experience offered a quicker tour, but a very immersive tasting experience with multiple different types, ages, and flavors of balsamic products. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

Fantastico food tour!
An amazing experience full of delicious food. We were treated to meeting several artisan food producers including behind the scenes visits to kitchen to see baking and pasta making and then delicious tastings. We were treated also to a variety of hams and different aged parmegiano cheese with Lambrusco.
All in all a truly delightful and tasty experience with our wonderful host and guide Barbara who answered all our questions and was able to give us so much information not just of the local foods but also the history of Parma. Thank you so much for a lovely day and would highly recommend this tour.

All you want to know about parmigiano reggiano
Instructions for pick up very clear. On time. Safe drive to the factory in the near countryside. Explainations were given both in italian and english. Very interresting to learn the production process from cow stalls to the worldwide known cheese wheel. And obviously the cheese tasting was much appreciated!!
Had a very good experience and would recommend it !

Anna Maria is a wonderful tour guide!!!!
Anna Maria made our experience in Parma, so wonderful! We were a little late because we had trouble parking, but Anna Maria was very helpful, patient, and understanding.. we learned so much about Parma, the culture, and a wonderful food and wine.
Anna Maria made the tour so enjoyable! We hope that we can take another tour led by her. Highly recommended!

How it’s made
This is a long day and starts early. Observing the process for making Parmisino was very interesting. Our tour guide Sara stepped in to walk us through the factory b/c of an illness of the factory’s guide. Sara has a history with the process through her grandfather, so she knew exactly what went on throughout the process. We then went to see the process for making prosciutto. Also, very interesting. Both processes have a very strong odor associated with them. Lunch at the farm-to-table restaurant was a different experience for our group.

Highlight of our trip
An amazing tour! If you’re unsure if you want to spend the money, I’d say book it. It was the highlight of our time in Parma. It’s such an authentic and informative experience. Cecilia is incredible and has extensive knowledge about the parmigiano reggiano and balsamic process. My partner and I can not stop talking about how great this tour was. Thanks again!

Best day trip of all!
This was by far our favorite day trip while visiting Italy. The cooking lesson was fantastic and Virginia and her mother made us feel so welcome. After preparing the pasta, our host served a wonderful meal, complete with caprese salad made with their homegrown tomatoes, dessert and wine. Absolutely the best!
