Tour with passionate guide - Although it rained, it was a very detailed description of Parma's most important sights and a lot of history background. We even had a little cheese tasting at the end of the tour. Thanks again!

Excellent tour of Parma Centro storico - Excellent tour guide (sorry to say I forgot her name - young, blonde woman, excellent English). She gave us an excellent tour of Parma history and sites in the Centro storico. We ended with a Parmesano-Reggiano tasting!

Overview of Parma - This is a great way to learn the places to visit. Gulia was very knowledgeable and did a nice job explaining us the history of the locations. You need to plan additional time to visit sites since this does not include going inside many of the sites we visited.

Parma history and culture through food - Beatrice was an excellent and engaging guide who gave us so much information about Parma, its history and culture but especially its unique culinary traditions. We fad so much good food to taste, we didn’t need dinner that night.

Excellent guide; plenty of information - Excellent guide with lots of interesting information. Not sure whether bilingual approach worked as it meant either the Italian or English speakers were hanging round for 5-10 minutes while she spoke in the other language. Overall very informative with lots of suggestions for further things to do. Parmesan tasting a bonus at the end.

Bilingual Tour was Great for Us - We enjoyed the tour in Italian and English. As we are students of Italian it was good to hear the two languages. We understood most of the explanations in Italian and filled in the gaps with the English explanations. We visited many significant venues and after the tour took or time going into some of the places.

The tour operator can’t tell time - Do not book this tour! We booked the tour for 10:30 and received 2 confirmations saying so. We arrived at the meeting place and were told the tour left at 10 and we were out of luck. Unprofessional to say the least.
