Parma Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Our guide, Erica Immovilli, was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and lovely to be around. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Erika was a delightful, attentive guide full of information about food, culture, history …all things Parma. We recommend her and the tour completely!

This was a great tour. It turned out to be a private tour as we were the only couple with our guide, Kayleigh who was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with Kayleigh and the local knowledge she shared about the cuisine in Parma. The tastings and wine pairings were delicious! We stopped at a market after the tour that Kayleigh advised and brought some of the goodies back home with us!

The tour guide had an excellent grasp of the history and was able to really engage the group. Great value

Very interesting and very nice guide for visiting Parma. I highly recommend it

This was second time touring with this company. This time we had Roberta whp was amazing. Highly knowledgeable, and well organized. Saw everything I requested. I will always use this group in Emilia Romangna. I highly recommend. The first time we had Michelle and loved it. This time, I wanted my family to experience what I dod the first time and they did not disappoint. Everyone had an amazing day. Thanks!

Riccardo was passionate and very knowledgeable. He tailored the experience to our interests. We highly recommend this tour if you want to learn the history and truly appreciate the art and architecture in Parma.

On Monday, March 30, 2026, a group of Italian teachers had the pleasure of participating in the visit to the Ancient Pharmacy of San Filippo Neri and the Oratory of San Tiburzio. It was truly a fascinating experience, rich in history, art, and inspiration. The Ancient Pharmacy, with its original furnishings, scientific instruments, and testimonies of the charitable activities carried out by the Congregation of Charity, allowed us to take a journey through the history of medicine and pharmacy. Equally surprising was the Oratory of San Tiburzio, a splendid Baroque treasure recently returned to the city, enhanced by the extraordinary installation "Florilegium" by British artist Rebecca Louise Law: a sky of over two hundred thousand flowers that harmoniously interacts with the frescoes and creates an atmosphere of rare beauty. We wish to express particular appreciation to our guide, Ms. Michelle Costa, who, with great competence, passion, and sensitivity, skillfully accompanied us throughout the entire journey. Her explanations, always clear and engaging, connected historical, artistic, and human aspects, making the visit extremely interesting and enjoyable. Her availability and ability to convey enthusiasm significantly contributed to the success of the experience. A visit that we highly recommend to anyone wishing to discover an unprecedented and surprising side of Parma. Claudio Tambini Lycée Liestal, Switzerland

We had a wonderful tour with Simonetta. As a volunteer English Teacher, she was perfectly clear & eloquent for us English speakers. She is also is born & bred from Parma & knows the town & its history so well. Gave us great recommendations of what to seek out on our own. Also the tour managers were wonderful in accommodating our late arrival from Milan with less than 24 hours notice due to a train strike

Beautiful experience, a fun and different way to explore a new city. Riddles that are not too difficult, suitable for families.

Fantastic experience. Our guide was amazing and kept everyone's attention. I learned so much today.

Great experience. Elena was very knowledgeable and friendly. Her choices of places to visit were first class. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Magnificent experience in an equally lovely place in the Piacenza hills. Place next to the Castle of momeliano, magically hidden among the plants that houses the cellars with wines lovingly and intelligently produced. The Tasting is worth in every respect. The sommelier was very nice and kind and explained step by step each wine proposed for tasting and deserves all the congratulations of the case. We hope to return soon to relive this beautiful experience that gave a great value to our day.

Very constructive and fulfilling experience

It takes a while to figure out how to use the guide, including moving from the audio to the map. Also note that one of the stops, the one for the sweets was only gelato now instead of bakery too. Otherwise we revisit most of the suggestions, and had a delicious lunch at the small restaurant with the anolino. It was a fun way to visit and learn about Parma.

Eliza was an excellent tour guide.The tour was well worth the cost. Full of information, tastings, comfortable travel arrangements.Highly recommended.
