What are people saying about Parma

Diana_K, Jun 2026

Amazing in-person experience for every stage of the cheese making process!

We had a fantastic time! Would recommend to friends. It was incredibly informative and interesting. Amazing to see the production in front of your eyes (instead of all the documentaries we saw before). It's truly something else! Be wary - the smell is quite strong, a few in our group couldn't handle it and had to sit out on the tour. Tried 12 month and 30 month Parmigiano at the end with the local wine. Few negatives: there were quite a bit of organizational issues at the begin once we arrived (>30 mins waiting around). Our group was way too big like more than 20 people. It felt like it was more advertised to be a smaller group. It'd also be nice to have adult-only tours.

Tour Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and Parma ham

Denise_W, Jun 2026

The Parma tour you have to take

This was the tour that I didn’t know that I needed to take. Wow, how fun and informative this was. I will never look at Parmesan cheese or prosciutto the same way again. My husband and I now delve into all of the intricacies that go into making both of these wonderful foods. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the process and of course the area of Parma. We had a fun group there were eight of us in total. I would completely recommend this to anyone who is interested in how the cheese and hams are prepared and if I’m being honest, the taste testing at the end was pretty good too!

Parmigiano Cheese, Parma Ham and Balsamic

Mindy_L, Jun 2026

The guides were very...

The guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant and the stops were well chosen and quaint. Our only complaint would be our driver who must have been late getting home, could not understand a word of english and had a little attitude. Other than that we had a great time and would highly recommend.

Not to be missed...

Not to be missed experience. Our guide, Mathio, is incredibly knowledgeable on the process of cheese and prosciutto making and explained everything clear and interesting. The tastings everywhere were ample and well done. The tour itself was well organised- I can absolutely recommend it

Pasta, Truffle & Wine in a Medieval Village Near Parma

Michelle_M, May 2026

Pasta for everyone

We had the most incredible experience just outside of Parma with this pasta, truffle, and wine experience—it was truly the highlight of our time in Italy. From the moment we arrived, our host welcomed us into their home. The setting in the countryside was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. We started by learning how to make fresh pasta from scratch, with hands-on guidance that made it both fun and approachable. I can see a pasta maker in our future 😬 What made this experience unforgettable was the warmth and authenticity. Sitting down together to enjoy the meal we prepared, paired with incredible local wines, felt like being part of a true Italian family. The conversation, the laughter—it was everything you hope for when traveling. If you’re near Parma and want a genuine, intimate food experience that goes beyond a typical class, this is an absolute must. I would recommend it again and again

Food, History, and Fun

If you're looking for great food combined with the very interesting history of both the food and Parma, this tour is for you. Our guide obviously enjoys showing off her city and her lively personality made the city come to life. We went to the best places to get the foods that are known as Parma specialties. The portions were very generous and I, along with my fellow tour participants were pleasantly full. We all agreed that it was a great experience and a good value..

Parmigiano-Reggiano and Parma Ham Small Group Tour

Debbie_S, Mar 2026

Best tour ever!

This was one of the highlights of our trip. We visited small artisanal producers of Parmesan cheese and Prosciutto di Parma and loved getting to see the traditional process up close. It was fascinating to learn how much care and craftsmanship goes into making these incredible foods, and of course the tastings were amazing! Larish was a fabulous tour guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the region and its food. He made the experience fun and engaging the entire time and shared so many interesting details we never would have known otherwise. If you enjoy authentic local food experiences, this tour is a must. We loved every minute and would highly recommend it!

Private Emilia Romagna Food Tour Full Day

wendellpoore, Dec 2025

Great day.

May not be handicap accessible so please double check. Driver was right on time to pick us up in the morning. Seeing how the Parmigiana was made was fascinating for a “cheese nerd”. The Parma ham producer was top notch and I had no idea how labor intensive it is to produce. The balsamic vinegar producer was also top notch. Our driver and guides’ English were great and they were very informative of the various productions and products. My wife and I really enjoyed the day.

Laura's Private Parma Food Tour with Pick Up (no bus)

Catherine_D, Oct 2025

A must experience!

We booked a private tour, and even when the trains went on strike, Laura—who runs the tour—went above and beyond to make sure we caught one of the few commuter trains still running. At the station, we were greeted by Filippo, our guide for the next four and a half hours, who whisked us away in his comfortable car. The tour was incredible. We learned fascinating details about the production of authentic balsamic vinegar, true Parmigiano Reggiano, and regional prosciutto. I came away with a deep appreciation for the care and tradition that go into these Italian treasures. The pride Italians take in preserving the integrity of these processes for generations is truly inspiring. Filippo himself was easygoing, knowledgeable, and personable—he was the icing on the cake and made the entire experience unforgettable.
