We greatly enjoyed our time being led around Modena by the wonderful Alessia!! She had so much to share on the subject of Italian food and food in general. She also personalized the tour by including information on what we were interested in learning about as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

This was a great tour. Our host, Allessia, was very kind and very knowledgeable. It was obvious that food and education are her passion. We ate amazing food, had great conversation and never felt rushed or unwelcome. It was perfect.

During the 3h tour we discovered lots of local products of Parma and Emilia-Romagna. It was nice to compare different tastes. In bonus she gave us tips for the next steps of our journey.
