Inclusions / Exclusions

Mobile ticket
Offered in: English, Italian
All Fees and Taxes

Overview

This tour Is designed to meet the needs of those travelers who would like to know the typical Parma Products: cheese, ham and balsamic. If you don't want to see a ham factory, I also suggest a Lambrusco winery. Our companies are small and family-run and you can speak with the owners. It will be fun! There will be plenty of tastings! You are going to real factories. We can start at any time, even in the afternoon, if the morning is not possible for you.

Artisanal, Family Owned, Supportive

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour with Laura was great. She’s very communicative on WhatsApp and went above and beyond to help us while we had to navigate a train strike. Laura has wonderful and authentic relationships with artisanal creators of Balsamic Vinegar, Parmesan Reggiano and Prosciutto de Parma. It’s wonderful to see family businesses thrive and support a tour that lends itself to these types of producers.

Worth every penny especially being a private tour.

I expected a tour with other people it was a private tour all the places we went to were small private tours we met the all the owners. Our guide Fillipo was great he knows the history of the area and was really helpful translating the language for us. They pick you up right at where you are staying Laura was super with communicatioing before our actually tour date. We'll worth what we payed.

Tasting tour

Laura was able to get us to the parmesan factory early enough to see the cheese being pulled from the whey! Loved the parmesan, balsamic, and ham tastings. My favorite was 25 year balsamic, not what I expected. Laura and Riccardo were knowledge and pleasant - so happy we decided on a private tour.

Fantastic Tour Through Reggio Emilia and Parma

I cannot express how amazing this private tour was. Laura is so communicative and intuitive. She wants to make sure you have an amazing time. I never met her in person but I just know she would have been a vibe if she was giving us the tour that day. I made a mistake and didn't realize that Laura would track my train and be there exactly when the train arrived at 910. Thinking we had a few minutes to grab a coffee and a snack before 930, I felt so bad that Filippo was waiting outside for us. Thankfully, all was forgiven and we were able to head out almost on time. I'm so grateful this was a private tour. It was the 4 of us with Filippo, traveling the gorgeous Emilia Romagna region between Parma and Reggio Emilia. The places you visit aren't set, so you may not go to the exact places we went, but I'm sure they are all amazing. Filippo told us that it varies because these are real working small businesses and honestly, this made me even happier we booked with Laura. We started with balsamic in someone's attic. This was absolutely amazing to see. I hadn't realized all that went into making vinegar this way. It was amazing. I was also shocked at how much I didn't need translated. Was proud of myself! LOL! Next, we checked out a reggiano parmigiano (yes, Filippo told us this is the way you should be saying it, darn Parma for taking the recognition) factory. Seeing the wheels of cheese and getting to taste all of the products was incredible. Then we went to a salumificio, the same place we had an absolutely stunning lunch. And to top it all off, we went to a vineyard and got to try some amazing wine. The vineyard was a surprise to me because when I spoke with Laura she said she would try to fit it in, but it depended on availability. So happy we were able to try their wines (and buy quite a few bottles.) I cannot recommend Laura's Private Parma Food Tour enough. This was an amazing experience that I would do again and again.

5 star tour!

This tour was truly an amazing experience from start to end. Laura reached out the day prior confirming pick up time and spot. Filippo was truly an engaging tour guide who drove us around all day . We loved everything about the tour- balsamic vineyard, Parmesan Reggiano tour and Prosciutto to finish up the day was perfect! Plus the bonus lunch was delicious and a great end of the tour! I would highly recommend this tour!
