Absolutely outstanding! Born and raised in Parma, our guide Michelle was wonderful - friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all things Parma. She took us to the best places for meats, cheeses, breads, balsamic vinegar, pasta, gelato and my favorite - something called carciofa from a famous Parma place, De Pepen. I would go back there just to have the Pepen carciofa again. Do not hesitate to book this tour - worth every penny!
EXCELLENT!

Wow what a trip! We were met w
By our very lovely tour guide Roberta who is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to Parma. She shares interesting facts and details about the city as you go around splurging on yummy treats. We loved spending time with her, she was friendly fun and interesting.
The stops are all wonderful with helpful and friendly staff. I would advise doing it earlier in your trip so you can revist your favourites and pack some goodies for your return home.
I didn't realise private really meant private... We were the only two on the tour so I think that this is great value for money- you are not having to share air time/space with other guests who can sometimes be asking too many questions or being pushy, loud or generally annoying 😂 haha.
The pasta was my favourite and I am now convinced about lambrusco!
Hundred percent recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed :)
Thank you so much Roberta
This was a great...

This was a great experience. We were moving from Lake Como to Chinqua Terra and had only part of a day to experience Parma. Our Guide gave us some great history of the city while we tried some amazing food at different locations. Everything was well organized and well put together even though it was Easter Monday and many places were closed. I would recommend this experience to anyone who likes to eat!
So Much Amazing Food!

We had a great time "Eating our way through Parma!" Our tour guide, Michelle, had so many interesting insights about the food, culture and history of Parma. Michelle was professional, but relaxed and easy to talk to. She answered our million questions!
I highly recommend this tour, but make sure you go hungry...you aren't gonna want to miss a bite!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
