Great tour with Kayleigh! - We had a lovely time on our food tour in Modena! Kayleigh was super informative and highly engaging the entire time, she was great! Highly recommend. She took us to taste balsamic vinegars, we had an aperitivo then delicious pasta and ended with gelato. Kayleigh also provided great recommendations, which was very helpful since we hadn’t visited Modena before. Thank you for a great experience!

Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy the best food in Modena! - What a wonderful, well organized tasty tour! From the first stop (balsamic vinegar) to the last (gelato) we enjoyed great food and great company with Kayleigh, our local guide! She really made this tour special: organizing gluten free options due to my gluten allergy, answering all of our questions about Modena and living the Italian life, and finding the best locations with local food and wines! This will be a treasured memory of our time in Italy! Take this tour!!

Fantastic 4 stop tour in charming Modena! - We went to a Balsamic Vinehar tasting and shop, then sat down for a lovely charcuterie selection, walked about 5 minutes to a lovely pasta restaurant where Kayleigh bought the group a bottle of Lambrusco and then to an amazing gelato shop. The tour lasted about 3 hours, was very chill and informative. My partner and I would highly recommend it!
