This was the best tour I have ever been on! Lesa was a knowledgeable and gracious and enthusiastic guide and made me love Parma almost as much as she does! Being a native Parmigiania, she weaves the story of history and food to give a magical story of the region. Clearly she is beloved in the city as the shopkeepers hold her in high regard. DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!

Parma food tour

Barbara was a wonderful guide. She told interesting details and clearly knows this city as she was greeted warmly by passersby as well as shop owners. Loved meeting the owner of the pasta shop. So much more than just a tasting.

Must take!

Old world history and generosity

Leanne_K, Oct 2022

Barbara was amazing! She made sure we could hear her and answered all the questions! Our stops were with very generous hostesses and traditions passed down from as many as 5 generations!!! Highly recommend and be sure to save room for the gelato!

Food for Thought

This tour offered the opportunity to go into the kitchens of the establishments at which we visited and tasted food. It was interesting to observe the preparation process and then taste the food. There was a good variety of food and an explanation of the preparation of each.

Super memorable food experience.

Andrew_Z, Oct 2021

We had a great time in Parma, of course with the cheeses, but the pasta and meats were something we will never forget. It was also interesting to learn more of the history of Parma.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

I'm happy to read that some flavours and the people who prepare them with skills and passion will stay with you for a long time. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us :) See you soon again in Parma! Andrea - Taste Bologna

Great tour of Parma

Janet_C, Sep 2019

Katerina was a friendly and knowledgeable guide for this walking tour of Parma. She made sure that all members of the tour from the youngest to the oldest were comfortable at all times as we wound our way through the streets and sites of Parma, from the centro storico to the new part of town across the river. The final stop for tasting the local cheese and salumi with a local supplier was excellent. Highly recommended!

Hervorragend
