A great tour with a great tour guide!! - Today was such a great day! We got to tour Villa Aiola dairy farm as well as Conti Prosciutto di Parma plant. We got to watch them make the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and explore the dairy farm. We got to meet the dairy cows and even welcome some new baby twins to the farm!! We got to sample fresh ricotta cheese and the different aged cheeses!! We also got to see the different aging rooms for the prosciutto hams and also sample some different aged varieties!! Michelle was such an amazing guide - so full of knowledge and helpful in helping us understand the processes!! We highly recommend using this group for any tour they offer!! We hope to come back again! A day we will never forget!!

Great 1/2 day experience in Parma! - Fantastic tours of a local farm that produces Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and then a local producer of Prosciutto di Parma. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about her region's products and culture. Highly recommended!

The absolute best Parma food tour - Perfect tour, we tasted all of the classic foods that we have been excited for. From the homemade pasta dishes to the vertical tasting of cheese from parmigiana and a very special balsamic vinegar from Modena everything was perfect. We had two bottles of amazing wine that we had never tried as well. We had special pastries as well, and Serena went out of her way to get gluten-free options for my husband that were delicious. Serena was an absolutely amazing tour guide I would give this tour five stars for sure but more if I could.

Perfect Parmesan and Prosciutto Tour - A friend and I enjoyed our private tour with Serena. She was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, and happily answered all of our questions. I felt like we got an in-depth view of both the parmesan factory (from watching some parmesan and ricotta being made from start to finish, going to see the cows that produced the milk, and tasting 4 different aged cheeses) and the prosciutto factory (seeing the raw meat cured with salt, seeing the meat at different stages of the curing and aging process, and finishing with a tasting including a glass of sparkling wine). I can't recommend Serena enough, she was fabulous. In addition, the logistics worked well: we were picked up on time at the designated meeting spot, had a dedicated driver along with Serena, and a very comfortable car for the two of us.

Highlight of our trip! - This half day tour was absolutely amazing! Michelle met us at the dairy farm (Villa Aiola) bright and early and proceeded to give us the most informative, energetic, detailed, up close and personal tour of the Parmigiano Reggiano factory. During the tour we watched the different stages of the cheese being made and even had a chance to assist in the cheese making process. The tasting did not disappoint...4 different Parmigiano Reggianos and freshly made ricotta...they were all delicious. From there we headed to a proscuitto di Parma factory. On the way Michelle provided us detailed history of the town and stopped for a photo op of a 15th century home. At the prosciutto factory, we learned about the aging process and ate delicious samples of the ham. If you want an immersive, personalized experience, this is the experience for you.
