The absolute best way to see Parma and learn about the city and local specialties. Barbara took us around the beautiful narrow streets of Parma and into the kitchens of several family-owned shops. The chefs were fabulous, sharing their spaces and specialties with us. Barbara answered all of our questions and explained everything beautifully. We would never have learned all we did without this tour. Highly recommend.

Lisa was an outstanding guide. The places she took us were superb. The only thing that we were disappointed with, was not seeing the actual production which the pictures that accompanied the tour description implied. Getting the back room tours were fantastic. Loved learning about Anolini. The tour wasn’t just about the cheese, it covered all sorts of different food from savory to sweet.

Jamie_D

Learning about Parma ham, Parmaigiano reggiano (learning the different ages and tastes of the cheese), Agnolotti e Brodo, and gelato. Learning history of the Parma area was also very nice.

Lisa, our guide for this tour, was very energetic and passionate about food. Not only could we sample a variety of dishes, but we also had the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes, into the kitchens of two of the establishments we visited.

It was a great tour by Lucia--really excellent food with the context of how the various things (anolini, prosciutto, parmigiano reggiano, etc.) were made. Would highly recommend!

Francisco_Z

The food wine and guide Lisa. She was so helpful and kind. We went to different pastry stores inside the kitchen.

Kazelia

This was a fantastic tour! A knowledgeable, local and passionate guide (Lisa!) with delicious food. I learned SO many things i didn’t know. Highly recommended! I was staying in Bologna and just caught the train (very easy to do). If I had my time again I would suggest staying a night in Parma. It’s beautiful, the people are friendly and the blend of architecture is fascinating. 10/10.

This was the best tour I have ever been on! Lesa was a knowledgeable and gracious and enthusiastic guide and made me love Parma almost as much as she does! Being a native Parmigiania, she weaves the story of history and food to give a magical story of the region. Clearly she is beloved in the city as the shopkeepers hold her in high regard. DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!

Janet_H

Barbara was a wonderful guide. She told interesting details and clearly knows this city as she was greeted warmly by passersby as well as shop owners. Loved meeting the owner of the pasta shop. So much more than just a tasting.

Nothing but glowing reviews for our full day tour of the Parma food area with Lisa. If you love a fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable guide who has amazing English skills then this tour is for you. From real experiences on Parmesan Reggiano, Parma Prosciutto and Balasmic, along with a fab local style lunch in a hillside Osteria to remember, everything was great. Thanks to Andrea and Lisa for giving us a day to remember.
