Guide was knowledgeable and passionate about cheese! The cheese factory was our favorite part of the tour. The prosciutto factory was also very interesting. The balsamic tour was interesting, but a fairly long ride from Parma. Overall, we learned a lot about Italian food and culture, enjoyed some wonderful tastings and would recommend this experience to other travelers.

This was my first guided group tour what I attended to but it was really worth the price, it was more than I expected. To see the hundreds/thousands of parmesan wheels and prosciutto hams is unbelievable and balsamic vinegar was also the best what I have ever tasted! Sergio is a great man who can explain the whole process and all details of production, and transferred us between the factories with his brand new comfy Van. I really recommend this tour.

We enjoyed this tour very much. From the minute we were whisked away in the ban, our family of 5 had fun chatting with our wonderful driver. When we arrived, the tour itself included many interesting facts about balsamic vinegar and the production process. We were able to see many different areas of the production facility as well. And of course, the tasting at the end was my favorite part!
