What are people saying about Parma

Joe_P, Sep 2026

Fantastic food tour in Parma

We had a wonderful time exploring Parma with Erica! She was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the food and culture of the area. The walking food tour was a highlight of our trip. We learned so much about Parmigiano Reggiano, ravioli, prosciutto, and the wonderful variety of cured meats that Parma is famous for. The tastings were excellent, and Erica did a great job explaining how the foods are made and what makes them special. What really made the experience memorable was Erica herself. She made the tour fun, relaxed, and very personal. We never felt rushed, and she shared insights that we would never have discovered on our own. We highly recommend Erica to anyone visiting Parma. Come hungry—you'll leave with a much greater appreciation for Parma's incredible food and some great memories as well!

Parmigiano Cheese, Parma Ham and Balsamic

Pamela_S, Sep 2026

Highly recommend! Very informative tour.

I learned so much about the making of this wonderful cheese. The prosciutto di Parma was delicious. I also learned alot about the making of balsamic vinegar. Our guide, Matteo, was excellent. He grew up in the area and had worked with the cheese. His father was a cheese master so he knew all the steps necessary. I highly recommend.

Ricardo_V, Sep 2026

Parmiggiano Regiano and Prociutto Di Parma.

Was a great experience visiting both the Parmigiano Regiano cheese factory as well as the Prosciutto Di Parma factory . Our guide Fabiana has a lot of knowledge about both products. She showed extremely kind behavior answering all the questions and keeping the group motivated to learn and enjoy both experiences. I would be unfair on my evaluation if I wouldn’t mention Claudio. He is the owner and producer of the Prociutto di Parma factory visited. Very kind person and hard worker. An inspiration for all of us.

From the milk to the wheel tour

We really enjoyed our Parmigiano Reggiano factory tour. The entire experience was very interesting and gave us a fascinating look at how this incredible cheese is made. Rebecca was extremely knowledgeable and explained every step of the process clearly and engagingly. She was also very professional, kind, and made the tour even more enjoyable. A wonderful experience and definitely something I would recommend to anyone visiting the Parma area!

From Parma: Parmigiano Reggiano Farm Tour & Tasting with Transfer

Sabrina_R, Sep 2026

Exceptional from Beginning to End

Exceptional from Beginning to End This tour was absolutely exceptional. Mattia was a fantastic guide, funny, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. Having previously worked inside the factory making Parmigiano Reggiano himself, he could explain every part of the process from genuine firsthand experience. We followed the entire journey of the cheese, from the first stages of production through brining and into the extraordinary ageing room, where we saw wheels ranging from newly produced Parmigiano to varieties aged for as long as 100 months. Mattia made everything fascinating and entertaining for both me and my daughter, who is seven. The tour finished with a wonderful tasting in the garden. We sampled a younger Parmigiano alongside Parmigiano aged for 30 months, accompanied by crackers and local sparkling red wine. Being able to compare the two ages made it easy to understand how dramatically the flavor and texture develop over time. Fabio, our driver, was also excellent, extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. He went the extra mile to make our return especially convenient, which we truly appreciated. A beautifully organized, informative and memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to adults and families alike.

Wonderful authentic experience.

I highly recommend traveling out in the country to experience this cooking class. Beautiful ride through the countryside. Virginia and Nadia are wonderful hosts.

Sangiovese was superb! Then we ate our ravioli and tagliatelle and finished with a wonderful tiramisu ice cream dessert. I highly recommend!
