The entire experience was very entertaining and informative. Barbara, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Incredible insights into local food and history

Andrea_P, Jul 2021

The tour and tasting with Laura was absolutely incredible! She was extremely knowledgeable about everything at all three sites, and she appreciated everything we saw right there with us--from the beauty of the "dance' of making the Parmigiana Reggiano, through the love story of Bianca Pellegrino. It definitely felt, all throughout the tour, that we were going off the beaten path for the most authentic experience possible. I cannot recommend this tour with Laura highly enough.

Response from Host, Jul 2021
