A beautiful tasty experience - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Roberta (our guide) was excellent. Full of knowledge about the area and the food. The food was delicious. We weren’t hurried along and had time to enjoy each stop. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Our favorite tour! - I didn’t know what to expect from Parma but this tour was fantastic! I’m a huge foodie and didn’t know what Parma food was before. Parma has really amazing food, and Roberta knows all the best spots. This was one of the best things we did on our whole 2 weeks, and was our favorite tour! We ended up having a private tour since it was slow season. We had such a great time and we want to book with Roberta again in the future!

Parma in November - Linda was our guide today in Parma, she was exceptionally knowledgeable. She made the tour a wonderful experience. She was very easy to talk to and kindly went out of her way to get information for us. She took us to 4 restaurants for our four courses and explained the local food, the cheese, the wine, the balsamic vinegar. Linda even helped me with some details for shopping for a wool coat, it was a fun day!

Anna Maria is a wonderful tour guide! Highly recommended! - My fiancé and I had such a fantastic time on the food tour with Anna Maria!! Unfortunately we had trouble parking, but Anna Maria was very understanding and patient and helped directly guide us to where she and the others were. She greeted us kindly and cheerfully. The whole afternoon was exciting and adventurous! Anna Maria told us so much about the food, the wine, the desserts, and the history. She answered all of our questions. She is so knowledgeable, friendly, and gracious. Anna Maria gave me great guidance on what kind of Parmesan cheese to buy to take home. 😀 I highly recommend any tour with Anna Maria! We’re going to recommend Anna Maria and the tour to all of our friends! Anna Maria is a wonderful tour guide! Highly recommended!
