A great culinary experience - Anna Maria was a great food guide! She welcomed us & made us aware of the various culinary specialties in Parma & the surrounding areas. She answered all of our questions. She gave detailed explanations with accompanying visuals & maps of the different areas. The food selections we tried were excellent! Thank you Anna Maria for a great experience!

Interesting and tasty food tour of Parma - Federico was an excellent guide. The places he took us to were amazing. We got to taste all the local specialties and he gave us even more info about things we were seeing in Parma. Federico accommodated our late arrival because our train was cancelled and helped us to find foods for a member of our family who cannot have gluten. He’s also an interesting and warm person to speak with.

delicious and exciting - Good and the right quantity of information. Very competent and charming tour guide. We were only two guests during this tour and could fully profit from her experience (Anna Maria). Nice locations were chosen. Not only the dishes were explained but als the making and the locations where the food and/or ingredients come from or are refined.

Amazing city food tour experience in Parma! - We were lucky to have a private food tour in Parma with Darren as it was late November and not many tourists. Darren was friendly, professional and more than happy to share his local experiences, knowledge and insights with us, having lived in the region for the past few years. He first brought us to a local salumeria and explained the different types of cured meats and cheeses, followed by a tasting session at a nearby eatery, then fresh handmade pasta at another restaurant, then main courses at another (but we were too full by then), and finally ending off the tour with some lovely gelato with unique flavours. The tour was definitely worth the price and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Parma to really bring out the best that this city has to offer and someone like Darren to bring it to life!
