A Food Tour through the historical old town of Parma.
We met Erica from Cool Destinations/Cool Destinations. She was right on time and exactly where we were supposed to meet her. She spoke excellent english and she allowed and helped us use or Italian since we were trying to learn. We were exploring Parma and toured the historical section. She was so knowledgable. We went to a historical perfume store, a pasticeria, a deli specializing in Parma Ham products as well as Balsamico, a Parma Formaggio/Cheese, and a resteraunt where we ate 4 types of pasta. We finished at a historical gelateria that used to be a hat store. The old style hats adorn the walls. In case you didn’t notice this was a walking food tour. Erica was THE best and so nice. We would highly recopmmend this tour and Erica.

We enjoyed a wonderful food tour in Parma!
We had a wonderful trip with our lovely guide, Marta. She was well-acquainted with the food of the region, having worked in several different food-related jobs over the years. She was very knowledgeable of the area. She was kind with a great sense of humor. We appreciated her company. The food was really tasty and we learned a lot about the food-making in Parma. It achieved everything we were looking for. Thank you, Marta!

Best day ever!
This was truly one of the most amazing experiences I could have asked for. Thank you, Roberta for sharing your knowledge and history of these foods with us. We appreciate you so much! The cheese makers and farm that we were taken to were simply of the highest quality and beauty. To be so close up, to watch the very best in their craft was an honor. The same can be said for the traditional balsamic maker. It was incredible. If this was all that I did in Italy I would surely be content! A magnificent day!

Take this tour! It is our best memory from our trip to Bologna
We read somewhere that this tour was the hi-light of their trip so we booked it and it was the absolute hi-light of our trip to Bologna. Davido was incredible - patient, friendly, warm, knowledgeable … perfetto! We rode out to a Parmesan cheese factory on the outskirts of Parma (a lovely city) and learned about the process, history and culture of Parmesan cheese manufacturing. It was fascinating! Then we rode to a wonderful deli and tasted different types of meats and Parmesan cheeses of varying age. All we can say is, do this! Meet Davido! Spend time with him! You won’t regret it!

Great parm, great balsamic, great guide, GREAT experience
This tour of parmigiano reggiano & balsamic vinegar facilities was spectacular. We booked a private tour, was a bit uncertain about the cost, but it turned out to be worth every $ we spent. The car pick up time was punctual, Roberta was fantastic (very knowledgeable and engaging in a relaxed way). She made the experience fun and informative. great detailed information and the tastings were well planned.

Parmigiano Cheese, Parma Ham and Balsamic
Pamela_S, Sep 2026
Highly recommend! Very informative tour.
I learned so much about the making of this wonderful cheese. The prosciutto di Parma was delicious. I also learned alot about the making of balsamic vinegar. Our guide, Matteo, was excellent. He grew up in the area and had worked with the cheese. His father was a cheese master so he knew all the steps necessary. I highly recommend.

Parmiggiano Regiano and Prociutto Di Parma.
Was a great experience visiting both the Parmigiano Regiano cheese factory as well as the Prosciutto Di Parma factory . Our guide Fabiana has a lot of knowledge about both products. She showed extremely kind behavior answering all the questions and keeping the group motivated to learn and enjoy both experiences. I would be unfair on my evaluation if I wouldn’t mention Claudio. He is the owner and producer of the Prociutto di Parma factory visited. Very kind person and hard worker. An inspiration for all of us.

Parma at its Best
Our tour guide, Ricchardo was absolutely amazing. We explored hidden parts of Parma that will leave you breathless. From painter Correggio's Assumption of the Virgin in the Parma Cathedral to the dome in the Monastery and Church of San Giovanni Evangelista. Riccardo’s historic knowledge of Parma with all of its art and architecture was one of the best tours I have experienced.

Awesome tour! Highly recommend!!
What an awesome tour to understand and truly appreciate parmigiano reggiano, prosciutto de Parma and balsamico tradizionale! Filippo picked us up at the train station and provided an awesome tour of Emilia Romagna’s very special food heritage. We learned so much from Filippo, he was a great host. We visited amazing small producers and learned first hand about their labor of love. So much work and dedication goes into these products that so many of us around the world cherish and love. Everything was very professional and thorough. We couldn’t have asked for more! Def recommend this tour. Private and intimate; spending time with producers and Filippo answering all your questions while tasting delicious products with local wine. Incredible 5 star tour!
