Modena food tour — perfecto - Eugenio was a marvelous guide!! From the history he shared about the food and region to each of our stops everything was superb!! We started with a balsamic tasting, followed by a tour of the food market and meat and cheese tasting with fantastic Lambrusco. Our family style tastings at the trattoria was flavorful and diverse. Finally, the gelato was the best of all we had!!

Highly recommend - great guide, great food, great value - Jessica was an excellent, local guide that provided history, facts and insight into Modena. All a bonus to the purpose of the tour - the food of Modena. We ate, not sampled, delicious food and gelato. The beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic flowed freely. We also stopped to sample and learn about the balsamic vinegars of Modena at a wonderful shop.Be prepared to end the tour full of information and a full belly. Highly recommend.
