Beatrice was an excellent and engaging guide who gave us so much information about Parma, its history and culture but especially its unique culinary traditions. We fad so much good food to taste, we didn’t need dinner that night.

If I could give our tour guide, Elisabetta 10 stars I would! We were the only ones on the tour and she was very accommodating. It started to rain and she was kind enough to run and get umbrellas from her car. Due to rain we ended up in the museum so as to stay out of the weather. She was very knowledgeable about the paintings and shared all kinds of information regarding the artwork we would have never known!

Elisabetta is an excellent guide. Her extensive knowledge of Parma’s rich history greatly enriched our experience. Explanations were thorough and communicated with fascinating detail. Several locations she pointed out will be revisited by us to investigate further. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Elisabetta.

Noi che arriviamo tranquilli dalla provincia, siamo sempre sbaloditi dalla città e con il cantautore G.Gaber no riusciamo ad abituarci.
