Perfect Parma day with cheese, balsamic and wine!! - Michelle is an incredible tour guide, super knowledgeable, kind, fun and thoughtful. The tour took us to one of the best cheese factory’s in Parma as well as a magical Balsamic tasting and tour and winery experience! The whole day was perfect and an incredible value. Michelle was super flexible and accommodating because we had kids with us and she was able to customize the whole experience based on our needs. If you want to have a wonderful experience call Michelle and let her curate it for you based on her wealth of experience, expertise and approach. Everyone had the best day.

Wonderful return trip! - This was our second time touring with Michelle. We enjoyed our food tour of Parma with her so much a few years ago, we had to return to the area during this trip to see (and taste) more! Each stop on this tour was unique and delicious and really encompassed what the region has to offer. Michelle is such a wonderful guide, a wealth of knowledge and able to cater to each persons interests. We also appreciated the relationships she has with the local business owners. She is obviously very well respected in the area. Because of this, you truly feel like a welcome guest getting insider access to each of the productions. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to Parma and book with Michelle again and hope to do so soon!

The BIG THREE + Wine private tour from Parma with Michelle. - A tremendously educational and fun tour. Michelle, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable of not only the history of the region but also the processes of producing the "BIG THREE" products of the region. We watched Parmigiano cheese wheels being made from start to finish as well as ricotta cheese. The Balsamica process of 12, 20 and 25 years was amazing - who knew! Topped it off with a delightful and delicious regional lunch and extraordinary wine tasting at a local winery and then a tour of a Parma Ham plant. All round, a long day but a memorable one thanks to Michelle.

Delightful, Informative & Thoroughly Enjoyable! - We toured with Michelle. She is very knowledgeable in all things culinary as well as the history of Italy and social characteristics of Italians. She is witty, funny, friendly and engaging. The places she selected for us to visit were each unique and special. We saw the full process for each day’s parmesan production, savored award winning basalmic vinegars (a must do for all foreigners visiting this region as it is NOTHING like what you toss on a salad), savored organic wines with great food and a stupendous view, walked among aging Parma hams (prosciutto). We have taken other foodie tours on previous trips to Italy. This was the best!

An amazing and incredibly fun day of great food and learning. - Michele led our tour and she was amazing. Our tour could not have been better. Her knowledge of the region and products was incredible and each business we visited was so friendly. A very fine winery even opened up just for our visit.

A wonderful culinary journey through Emilia - Romagna - What a fabulous tour!! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Michelle as she shared her vast knowledge about Parmigano, Balsamic and Prosciutto, plus the beautiful region of Emilia - Romagna. Visiting the factories (and homes) of these producers gave us such a full immersive experience and we highly recommend this tour to all. Michelle was a wonderful guide and we must also complement Marco, the Balsamic producer, an absolute unexpected highlight. The product was incredible and his tasting was extremely enjoyable. A+

The tour to pick!! - We had a fabulous time on this tour. Michelle was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a brilliant tour guide. I’d recommend this tour to anyone, we were a group of 8, 4 children, my husband and myself and parents. Everyone from small to older enjoyed themselves. A side note, definitely include the tour with all 3, the vinegar was an unexpected highlight.

Worth the early wake up call! - This tour with Michelle was the highlight of our vacation and we could not recommend it more! It was so incredible to see the entire parmigiano process from start to finish, especially with a guide as knowledgeable and passionate as Michelle. She cares so deeply about the food produced in the region and is constantly going out of her way to become a more informed expert. It was so clear to us how much she loves the region and the produce created here and it made our experience that much more special. The balsamic vinegar portion of the tour absolutely blew us away and we haven’t stopped thinking about it. Thank you Michelle for such a wonderful experience!

Best tour ever - I have a travel business hooking up clients with guides/tours so I have experience working with guides. Michelle was very helpful and prompt in her responses during tour setup. And she was the guide for my client's private tour. I usually following up with clients after they get back from their trip but these clients sent me an email THAT NIGHT saying, "It was the best thing we've ever done. Michelle was amazing!" So you can't get higher praise than that! I will definitely use this company in the future.

The best tour ever - My husband and I spent 2 weeks touring Italy and this was by far the highlight of our trip(don’t tell our children and grandchildren with whom we were visiting). We initially thought that a 7 hour tour would be too long, but because of Michelle’s level of professionalism and expertise we easily could have spent another 7 hours in her company. We had a lovely day filled with a whole new appreciation for the making and tasting of cheese, vinegar and ham. Highly recommend and encourage you to book this tour, you will only be sorry if you don’t.
