This 4 hour bike tour was the highlight of my trip to Italy. I haven't ridden a bike in 20 years so I was afraid to ride through the streets, but the man in charge had me practice before we went out. He told me to stay behind him just in case I needed anything. Once we started, it was a really nice ride through the streets of Italy. As soon as cars see you coming everybody stops and Everyone in the group looks out for each other. We rode into the countryside to the cheese factory, watched them make the cheese and then we tasted different aged cheeses. This one trip that I would do again. I had so much fun!

We enjoyed riding through the countryside of Parma very much. Riding in the city streets not so much, it is very difficult unless you are an experienced biker. The cheese learnings were very nice as was the food tasting afterword, but disappointed we did not actually see the cheesemakers producing cheese, only an empty shop with our tour guide telling us how they make it. David tour guide was very nice.

Our guide was great! An easy bike ride out to a cheese factory and a cool tour/tasting. Then we beat the rain and enjoyed some more meats, cheeses, and wine at a local salumeria. Would definitely recommend for a beautiful afternoon in Parma!

We had a wonderful tour with Davido. He was kind and knowledgeable and made for excellent company. The factory was as fascinating and there’s no better way to see Parma than on bike.

We did a bike tour with Davide and it was wonderful! We booked the Two Excellences of Emilia Region and went to taste Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar. Davide also took us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch. Davide had excellent knowledge to share with us during the tour and the setting was beautiful. It was a long ride but I would 100% recommend to anyone who enjoys active site seeing.

We had such a fun time biking around the area with Davide. He is clearly so knowledgeable and passionate about the processes behind making Parmigiano-Reggiano and various cured/aged meats.
