I have participated in many food tours across countries such as Japan, the USA, the UK, Vietnam, and many more, but this one has likely been the best at combining food, history, and information about the destination. Eugenio was fantastic and extremely engaging to listen to!

Amazing day in Modena with Eugenio!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an amazing experience with Eugenio on our Modena food tour. Our guide has a true passion for food and sharing insider knowledge of his city of Modena. We learned so much about the history, people and food culture of this region....tasting things firsthand along the way. Highly highly recommend this company and our guide!

Absolutely loved it!

Our guide Darren was so fun and full of knowledge on Balsamic Vinegar and on Modena. If we could have kept his service all day, that would have been fantastic but only a 2.5 hour tour. LOVE IT!

Fun day in Modena!

We had a wonderful Modena Food Tour with Eugenio! We started with a balsamic vinegar tasting followed by a visit to the central market. The market was spectacular and vibrant and the meat and cheese selection delicious. Next was a pasta tasting and the one of the best gelatos we had on an 18 day trip to Italy. We would definitely recommend this food tour to others in the quaint town of Modena, a quick day trip from a lot of cities in Italy.

Grazie e mangia

This was an outstanding and probably our favorite food experience in Italy. Eugenio was an amazing guide both with his knowledge and selection of foods for us to sample as well as his curiosity about us and our interest in food.. Modena is a lovely city with delicious food!!
