Just fantastic, great tour with the enthusiastic guide Lisa and very nice foods - What is not to like, as it turned out we had a private tour, the other group (4) cancelled last minute. From the beginning Lisa told us a lot about the history of Parma and offcourse of the food culture in Parma. The tastings were excellent and also the behind the scenes moments were great. All the stops were really reflecting Parma as a food capital. I give our guide Lisa a 10!

Excellent way to tour Parma - We went on 3 different food tours in the Emilia-Romagnole region and this tour with Lisa in Parma was by far the best. She deftly intertwined food tasting with history, and the behind the scenes visits to experience food preparation was fascinating. All of her chosen stops were a delight. Her tour was one of the reasons why Parma was one of our favorite towns in our two week tour.

Taste of Parma - don't miss this tour! - We have done quite a few food tours in Europe over the years but this one was by far the best! Lisa is an excellent guide and the food we experienced in Parma was delicious. So interesting to see 'behind the scenes' which reinforced how passionate the Italians are about the quality of their food.

More than food! - Absolutely amazing food tour, with a fantastic guide! She was so knowledgable and had historical tidbits about every corner we turned on our way. The food almost became secondary, but fear not, that too was fantastic!
