Tasting at the end.

This was a great tour! We decided a week before our trip to do this and the last minute decision wasn't a problem at all. The driver was great and convenient. Our guide was friendly and gave us all the information we needed and then some. Highly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed it. It is as the other reviews says. Driver was nice and prompt, no talking. Elena was really a great guide!! She was knowledgable and lovely. It's true you don't get a sample of the prosciutto from the factory, but right after they take you to lunch, where there is plenty.

A very informational tour on the processes involved in the creation of Parmesano reggiano cheese, Parma ham, and traditional balsamic vinegar. Our trip was provided by Food Valley, Elena being our guide. She was very enjoyable and knowledgeable. The factories were very welcoming. It would have been nice if water had been provided in the van. The van driver was prompt. However, there was no attempt at conversation for the hour trip from Milan & back. I realize he was not the guide but some information about the countryside might have been nice. If you are a foodie this is a great tour.

<p>If you get the driver option this tour is REALLY expensive. It was a smooth ride, and our driver was really good. But be prepared to only spend about 35 minutes at each factory. We spent just as long parked on the side of the road looking at the castle. your going to spend most of your time driving between each location, as they are not close together. You will not get a tasting at the Parma ham factory, which is disappointing. Also the Cheese factory we went to has a store, but doesn't ship. They honestly told us, it wasn't worth their bother. So you can't bring anything with you. </p> <p>I am glad that we did the tour, I am just not sure we got our money's worth. The tour guy, while limited English was very good. </p> <p>Also, if you don't like heights, this tour isn't for you. Both the parm ham factory we went to, and the lunch location were on the top of very high hills, that required driving up steep, one lane roads. It reminded me of tours we took in Almafi.</p>

<p>This tour was wonderful...so interesting.<br/> Our tour guide, Amalda, was amazing. She is a lovely girl, so knowledgable about the areas visited. <br/> We learned so much. Highly recommended.</p>

<p>Great tour of Parma - the Parmagianno Regianno processing plant was a great, authentic experience. The guide Claudia was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour of the Prosciutto di Parma plant was also a great experience. The food a the winery was really tasty. The tour of the winery was short, but there was not much to see anyway.<br/> We also took the optional Balsamic Vinegar tour. Not in Modena, but nearby. The hostess/owner was great and we learned a lot. Tasty vinegar too!<br/> The driver from Milan did not speak English, so it was a quiet ride. Overall, a great experience!</p>
