Must go tour

This experience is not to be missed!!!! Claudio was an amazing tour guide and truest made the experience wonderful. Very knowledgeable tour guide.

It’s all about the cheese!

Published on Sep, 2024

Everything was amazing from the initial communication with Claudio months ago to the follow up to the train pick up. The cappuccinos and breakfast snacks allowed the 8 of us travelers to get to know each other a bit before we went to the parmagana Reggiano “factory”. The process was clearly explained and it was obvious how much this all means to Claudio. The place was immaculate and the process so precise. The aging room was probably the highlight, along with the balsamic room at his cousin’s place. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Emilia-Romagna. Oh, almost forgot about the cows. Just so awesome.

Fantastic Tour!

The entire experience was one of my favorite tours ever. Seeing the cheese being made and learning about the process was so very interesting. And of course everything tasted great! Going to the farm and seeing the cows that make the milk (and babies) and how they are fed and treated so well was an added bonus!

Fun, educational and DELICIOUS!

Claudio was excellent! From the first time I contacted him, he was extremely responsive. He told me in detail how to get to the tour meeting point from Bologna and he was right there to pick us up at the train station. He is passionate about what he does and he’s so enthusiastic about sharing the process of cheese-making from start to finish in a fun and professional manner. The tasting was fantastic - a little breakfast treat to start and finishing off the tour with cheese, salami, balsamic vinegar and wine! What a great day. Thank you so much!

Awesome ❤️
