The tour guides were excellent, full of knowledge, very engaging, and so helpful! We enjoyed the cheese-making and ham-making tours equally. Perfect for my 11 year old daughter, me, and my 78 year old mother. The proportions of ham and cheese were given were generous. We gained an appreciation for the art and science of making these foods. It was a perfect day and we all highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Loris was a wealth of knowledge, explained everything and the processes in an interesting way so that it came alive. Well organized and the drive was smooth. I loved seeing the countryside. The cheese and prosciutto making processes are fascinating. I love that I know now how to discern the different qualities of the products. The tastings were generous and very yummy. It’s the perfect time too. Thank you for a great experience and our group was also lovely.

This was such a great tour! Matteo was amazing with his knowledge. Learning how they make Parmesan and the process of prosciutto gives new appreciation for how expensive it is (especially in the states!) I highly recommend this tour and come to Parma! It’s a beautiful city with much history in the whole area.

Nice small group. Particularly liked visit to dairy, where we saw every step of cheese making in action, right up close. Nice tastings, too. Very knowledgeable guide. All in all, totally worth it!

Loris was so knowledgeable and friendly- what a great tour! 10/10 worth doing if you love a good tour! Definitely book the morning tour to see the cheese get pulled from the bag!

Nathaniel_J

Mattias was an excellent tour guide, and we really had a fantastic experience. This was one of our favorites tours on a month long trip to Italy. The cheese portion was definitely the highlight of the tour, and I definitely recommend the smaller group experience. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour again.
