    A must to lear about food in Modena!

    Martina_G, Mar 2026
    A great experience, worth the time and the money. Ilaria was an amazing guide, full of stories about food. A must is the green lasana at Trattoria di Modena and the gnocho frito con salame with a glass of white wine at the bar. And there was gelato at the end! You will not regret the experience!

    It’s a good over view of old Modena with visits to the market and a balsamic vinegar shop. And, really good tastes!

    Best way to learn about Modena.

    Such a wonderful tour. I am traveling solo in the off season and appreciate the company and guide providing a private VIP experience. Do not assume you can visit Modena and see all of its charm on your own. A guide brings it to life and allows a peak inside the life of Italians. Highly recommend.

    Very good guide...

    We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Stefania, was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Modena, balsamic vinegar and all the local delicacies. We enjoyed several hours of learning, eating and enjoying. She made our tour so pleasant and really took the time to answer our questions. It was our first full day here and it was a great way to start our vacation. I highly recommend this tour and would request Stefania as your guide! Thank you for a lovely few hours.

    Dear Julie, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We’re glad to hear you had a wonderful time and that our guide made the experience so enjoyable. We always love hearing that our guests had a great time.

    Modena, a hidden gem!

    My husband and I travel to Italy every year. We use VIATOR regularly. Stefania was our guide for MODENA. She was great. We were the only ones with her. She made it seem like we were meeting friends for lunch. She was very informative and took us around as locals. The food was exceptional and the company more so. I would definitely recommend her as a tour guide.

    Thank you! We're thrilled you had such a warm and local experience with Stefania in Modena. Your recommendation means a lot!

    A must do tour in Modena!

    This tour was amazing! A highlight of our trip and a must do if you are in Modena. We enjoyed our time with Stefania and Mateo! They made this an experience we will always remember!! Thank you both for making the tour so fun and sharing your knowledge of the region and food. You made us feel like family and we will cherish that forever (:
