Memorable day! - We had a truly memorable day. Our driver was punctual, friendly and informative. We learnt a lot whilst experiencing the region and local farms around Bologna and Modena. The early start allowed us to see the actual Parmigiano being made. Prosciutto and Balsamic visits also exceeded our expectations. Ferrari museum was great as well. Perfect tour for those who wants to fit all the local must-sees in 1 day.
