Had an amazing time with Tommaso our guide. He was knowledgeable and personable. It was a wonderful experience, to go see family producers (and not industrial producers) and even have the chance to meet with the owners and have such an intimate connection. Not the least expensive tour, but good value for money as it includes a good lunch at a good restaurant and transport since we didn't drive. All in all, highly recommended.

My wife and I had good day with Laura and Filippo on a private tour of three small producers of parmigiano, meats and balsamic vinegar. All three producers were proud and enthusiastic about their high quality produce and our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We bought produce from all three producers after tastings. After our visits we finished off our tour at a friendly local restaurant (part of the tour) before being dropped off at our meeting place in central Parma. A must trip for all food lovers.

My husband and I had an incredible experience with Fillipo! He was so knowledgeable and provided a very special tour. The places we visited were unique and we had a truly local experience. Going to small family owned businesses and seeing how the cheese, meats and balsamic vinegars are made have us an appreciation that we will never forget. We had a beautiful lunch at a local restaurant as well which we loved

Informative and pleasant tour with friendly guide. Enjoyed the cheese factory and lovely lunch following Parma ham tour

Fillipo was great. Knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. I would recommend this experience for any one. I learned a lot too.

We had a great tour with Tommaso. He picked us up at 9am and drove us first to a Parmesan producer which was totally fascinating. Then we visited a small family run balsamic vinegar producer in Emilia-Reggio - another authentic and super interesting tour and tasting. Finally we visited a small Parma ham producer where everything is made by hand. Tommaso was the perfect guide - young, knowledgeable and charming - he spoke perfect English and gave us just the right amount of information to make the tour fun and interesting. We finished the tour with lunch at a local restaurant enjoying more salumi, tortelli and Lambrusco. Thanks again Tommaso!!

What a great day! We were picked up in a private car and visited a parmagianno reggiano cheese factory, Parma ham factory, and a balsamic vinegar maker. I couldn’t choose a favorite. These were places we never would have found on our own. Laura and Ricardo were so knowledgeable and made sure we got the full experience. This tour was a dream!

Laura’s colleague Fillipo toured with us all day - we did a family owned winery (Fillipo translated the owners Italian), then went to an amazing balsamic vinegar producer (in an old convent I think) then to a ham producer. The ham was the only disappointing part - though didn’t detract from five stars. The pigs weren’t there and he didn’t have much hanging in preparation. But the tasting was great - I just wish we had more to see. Also included was a large lunch on a horse training facility - very cool!

This tour was awesome. My family and I enjoyed every moment. Filipo and Tom were professional, knowledgeable and most of all friendly. We regretted not having the time to sit and have lunch with our tour guides. Lastly, Laura was SO helpful organising the pickup and tour. Thank you, Laura.

Laura's colleague, Phillipe, was our private tour guide for the day. He was amazing. He is a local, so he knew everything! He spoke very good English. He met us at the train station, on time. We visited a Parmigiano cheese making facility, boutique Parma ham maker, balsamic maker in Reggio Emilia, balsamic maker in Modena, and the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena. We were impressed with Phillipe's superior knowledge of the tour facilities and the entire region. He was very professional and in-charge. Phillipe also made excellent recommendations for lunch and left it up to us to decide where to eat. We were also impressed that he somehow remained on schedule, as one of our final stops had a specific reservation time which we met on time. We never felt rushed. It was a very relaxing, fun day. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We would also like to thank Laura for her outstanding communication in working with us during the months leading up to the trip. She met with us on a video call two months before our tour and answered all of our questions, in English, and we also exchanged numerous emails and texts. She customized a tour for our wishes. And, her prices were extremely reasonable, far less than her competitors. We can't say enough good things about Laura's tour company.
