We get what we were looking for - Incredible tour of an authentic Parmigiano cheese factory and a wonderful tour of a family owned Balsamico factory in the countryside. It was great to try some local food with different ages of Balsamico, so many surprises! Our driver was polite and friendly, he even gave us some dinner suggestions on the way back home. Recommend

Poor experience. - Too expensive. Laster only 4.5 hours. They said light lunch, and provided only some bread. Not worth for the money.
