Sara was a knowledgeable local and she has a great affinity with food and culture! We had an amazing time. Don’t eat before you start this tour, your appetite will definitely be fulfilled :) Also, not really a gluten-free appropriate tour but Sara made sure that we got an alternative at every stop :)

Our guide Alissia was amazing. We got to try and taste so much local food and we enjoyed the city of Parma. I was so full after all the tasting. I barely had enough room for gelato.... barely

We had a special experience with this food tour. We were very lucky to be able to book it and even luckier with our lovely guide Jihene. She is a sweet young lady who has a lot of knowledge of Parma and it’s food scenery. We enjoyed a lot and definitely recommend it. Luciana and Yoram

The best food tour in 20 yrs. The selection of foods we tasted were the absolute best-all of artisan, hand crafted and unique to Parma. Our guide, Alessia is an graduate level gastronomy profession with local knowledge and passionate about sharing her love and knowledge of the unique foods and drinks of the Parma region. We drove over 2 hrs. to go on this tour and it was well worth it. We’ll talk about this one for years.

The food was good, but there was no time between stops. In order to space out the food, they should add some historic spots to the tour.
