Experienced and knowledgeable guide - We had an evening tour with Elisabetta. Her knowledge of the history and art of the city was extremely detailed and fascinating; we appreciated the time she took and level of knowledge. She was happy to answer our questions and get input from us about things we were interested in seeing or focusing on. She also gave us feedback and advice about restaurants / etc for that evening. Thank you!

Beautiful Parma - Barbara the guide has a good knowledge of history and told us many interesting facts about the city of Parma. The tour’s final with the cheese tasting was a must! Pretty much recommended!

Educational and enlightening tour - The guide was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to explain everything to us. She actually spent more than the allotted time so really appreciated that.

Functional apartment in a good location - Pro: perfect location, less than 50 meters to the train station. Small but functional kitchen. Washer in the restroom. Grocery store, hospital and restaurants are all within 10 minutes walk. Good communication with the owner. Con: the bed is way too soft. I have traveled a lot, not picky on mattress. That is first time I have issues with mattress. It would depend on the unit, some apartments might be too small for two people. It is pricy for the condition of room in a small city like Parma.

Excellent guide; plenty of information - Excellent guide with lots of interesting information. Not sure whether bilingual approach worked as it meant either the Italian or English speakers were hanging round for 5-10 minutes while she spoke in the other language. Overall very informative with lots of suggestions for further things to do. Parmesan tasting a bonus at the end.

Could Not Hear Half the Time - Our Guide was engaging and knowledgeable. But half the time she wasn’t speaking into her microphone, despite reminders at least twice. Disappointing!

Just an ok tour - The tour said it was 3 hrs but only ended up to be 2 tours. The guide wasn’t very passionate about the tour which was disappointing

Disappointed - Tour was supposed to be in English but it was both English and Italian. The guide spoke the majority of the time in Italian because there were more Italian speaking people than English speaking. This more than doubled the time at each site so the number of sites visited was diminished. Was very disappointing tour.
