"Guides were helpful and informative. Including when they assisted me in adjusting my return ticket to Bologna so I could spend a few more hours in Parma after the tour. Guides were enjoyable to chat with and were informative on the whole process of both factoriesn and this was 100% worth the price"

What Travelers Say
"Our guide Roberto was so much fun and really informed, answering all our questions and making us laugh! Factories were both amazing, and had generous tastings after. Quite a lot of car journey after the train, but would definitely recommend for an authentic foodie experience and a very fun day out!"
"Fabulous way to spend the day and learn about two of my favorite things!!!! Very much appreciate the knowledge share and hospitality shown by each family owned business. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in learning and seeing how these two iconic products are produced."
