It was so nice having Serena as our private guide - she was just delightful and so knowledgeable about the food of Parma and Parma’s history - we should have done this tour on our first day here! She is truly a Gastronomic Ambassador for Parma - so many people knew her and because of that treated my husband and I extra especially good. Do not hesitate to take this your - you will learn so much and taste some amazing things.

Unfortunately, I was irresponsible with my purse and lost it while on our tour. We decided to continue and had an amazing day. Our guide Serena was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating. She even stayed with us following the tour to take us to the police to report my lost purse, translated for us, and helped us get home. Parma is a beautiful place and the food and tour was fantastic (the purse was a random thing!).

A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting experience. Our guide was Roberta, a co-owner of the business and she was a joy to be with and very knowledgeable about Parma and the complete food experience. Don't plan to have a big meal after this experience!
