Tase of Parma - This tour was amazing! Each faculty we visited was incredible, but the best was the Balsamic vinegar tour was by far the best. Definitely do not miss it. Our guide Sophia was so nice and friendly. We got to have lunch with her and she is truly a lovely person. If you’re near Parma, definitely check this tour out.

Saving the best for last - This was most enjoyable tour. Our guide was charming and knowledgeable. She truly seemed to enjoy being a guide. The parmesan-reggiano factory and prosciutto factory were interesting but the Balsamic maker visit - was as the admonition goes - save the best for last was true. We would happily recommend this tour.
