Our guide Beatrice was excellent. She made the tour not just about food but also about the history of Parma. It was a pleasure touring with her.
As for the food. It was amazing and plentiful! It was so tasty and plentiful that by the time we got to the last stop, a wonderful Pasticceria, we couldn’t take one more bite!
All in all, a great experience with a great tour guide!
Grazie mille!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking/tasting tour of Parma. Michelle was the perfect guide and we enjoyed every stop we and the unique places we visited. From the prosciutto education/tasting, and wine tasting and, the cheese education and tasting and the final stop at the gelato shop. Michelle was very knowledgeable about the city and history which made our walking tour that much more interesting.

This private tour was the highlight of our stay in Parma. Our guide Bearice was very knowledgeable. All the shops and restaurants we visited were family owned. We asked a lot of questions and she answered them with many interesting details and great patience. We learned a lot about all the delicious cakes, cold cuts, cheese and pasta we sampled and also some of the history of this beautiful city. She was very gracious. We enjoyed every minute of this tour.

I recently had the joy of experiencing the Artemilia Parma Food Walking Tour, and it was an absolute delight. This tour, led by the wonderful guide Serena, was an exquisite journey through Parma's culinary delights, beautifully paced and immensely satisfying.
The tour includes an impressive array of tastings, including a chopping board of sumptuous cold cuts like Prosciutto di Parma DOP and Culatello di Zibello DOP (that I will dream about the rest of my life). Each tasting was an education in flavor, history, and technique, perfectly explained by Serena, whose knowledge and passion for Parma’s gastronomy shone brightly.
The vertical tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano offered insights into the age-old techniques of cheese making and provided a clear sense of how aging affects depth and flavor. The traditional balsamic vinegar was another highlight, with its complex and rich flavors. and the tour concluded on a high note with artisanal gelato. A tip we learned from Serena, look for a 3 cone rating on the front of the Gelateria.
Not only was each stop a discovery of taste and tradition, but the entire experience felt like a leisurely stroll through Parma with a friend who knows every secret nook. The tour was excellently valued, considering the quality and quantity of food and drink included.
Anyone looking for an authentic taste of Parma’s culinary heritage need look no further than the Artemilia Food Walking Tour with Serena. It’s a gastronomic adventure that satisfies the palate and enriches the mind. Absolutely recommend!
