Saving the best for last - This was most enjoyable tour. Our guide was charming and knowledgeable. She truly seemed to enjoy being a guide. The parmesan-reggiano factory and prosciutto factory were interesting but the Balsamic maker visit - was as the admonition goes - save the best for last was true. We would happily recommend this tour.

Tasty tour on the Tasty Bus! - Great insight into the work, knowledge and passion that goes into the production of these traditional DOP products. We really gained a new appreciation for the people who dedicate their lives to making the best of the best. A delicious lunch was enjoyed as well as tastings of the Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma ham and balsamic vinegar. Our small group was great and made for a most enjoyable day.
