Honeymoon perfection
Dec 2022
This half day tour of Parma was so memorable! Our tour guide was so sweet and knowledgeable of all the regional history and food. Our tour of the Parmigiano-Reggiano factory was incredibly special because we not only got to see the process for making the Parmigiano-Reggiano -- but we got to hangout with the cheese makers AND meet the cows that the milk comes from. We ended the tour with a visit to a Culatello cellar and WOW, it was incredible. Culatello is the best meat you will ever eat - melts in your mouth. It is a delicacy that is not imported to the U.S. so it was a very special treat. 10/10 recommend this tour.

Highlight of our trip!
Strongly recommend this adventure. It was the highlight of our trip, which we planned around the food/delicacies of Emilia Romagna. Our tour guide, Giacomo, was outstanding! His English was excellent. He was personable, knowledgeable, and truly cared that we enjoyed our experience. It was a wonderful way to visit local producers of cheese (including tastings), prosciutto, and balsamic vinegar. We booked the lunch option, which included wine, and was delicious. The restaurant was in the mountains in a lovely, old stone building, with friendly, family service. Traveling through the countryside was relaxing and a great escape from the city.

Exceptional Experience
Sep 2022
The tour was excellent. Elisa was an exceptional guide. Each of the sights selected were boutique operations steeped in the local traditions of making Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar and Parmesan ham. Elisa’s depth of knowledge in the process of each specialty was presented in an informative and entertaining manner. Her established relationships with each of the proprietors made our presence in each of the locations more relaxing and familial. Lunch was in a delicatessen run by two brothers who were both hospitable and generous with their presentation of capicola, salami, prosciutto, tortelli and Lambrusco. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Elisa as a guide.

An Experience You Won't Forget
Sep 2022
Everything about this experience was special. The location, the ambiance, the host and the food = all great!

Antonia is very welcoming (so is the most well-behaved canine, Miss Cookie, who greeted us and walked us to the entrance). We immediately got down to business and began to learn the art of pasta. We learned to prepare our toretlli from scratch and enjoyed eating it in Antonia's beautiful garden.

Aside from learning how to make pasta, you will spend the evening with a very charming hostess who will make you feel part of the family.

Grazie mille!

Outstanding Parma Food Tour
Sep 2022 • Family
We had an incredible time on the full day Parma Food Tour! Our tour guide, Elisa, was fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable and fun, and she has a great rapport not only with her guests, but with the owners of the places we visited. She also spoke English well, so that was a plus! Everyone was so warm, inviting, and accommodating! This tour may seem expensive, but trust me- you get what you pay for! The insiders view of these local gems, the amount of incredible fresh, homemade food you receive, the knowledge you gain, the memories you make, are priceless. This truly is luxury tour, and it was a highlight of our trip!

Parma Food Tour
Sep 2022
We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour. Lisa, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. We could tell she was very proud of her town of Parma. She relayed the information for each venue in a way that was informative without sounding like she was going through the motions. I would highly recommend Lisa for a guide to anyone who takes this tour! Thank you to your team for making this a trip we will never forget!!!

The full day Bogotaro tour was amazing!
Sep 2022 • Friends
Our guide Mario was passionate and engaging. We visited a local pastry shop, deli, butcher, etc. and spent time at each location discussing the foods, history, and people. We drove to his home and restaurant up in the hills for a home cooked meal. We also went mushroom hunting - and had great success. Truly an outstanding day and Mario made it very memorable. Highly recommend!

Cooking class with Antonia Greci
Sep 2022 • Couples
Antonia spoke Italian a great deal which was wonderful. We learned to make two pastas with many tips for success. We also enjoyed learning about Antonia’s family and life in Parma. Finally, the beautiful setting in an elegant villa and the large garden were extraordinary.
