Parma history and culture through food - Beatrice was an excellent and engaging guide who gave us so much information about Parma, its history and culture but especially its unique culinary traditions. We fad so much good food to taste, we didn’t need dinner that night.

Wonderful Tour of Parma - Laura was our excellent guide in Parma! She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this beautiful city. She explained the relationship between Parma and Rome and the rest of Italy. I would highly recommend this tour as the FIRST tour for a wonderful overview.

Parma City Tour worthwhile! - We went to Parma to enjoy the cheese and hams but our guide, Christiana, gave us a great tour of the town as well. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history and the architecture and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour!

Fabulous - If I could give our tour guide, Elisabetta 10 stars I would! We were the only ones on the tour and she was very accommodating. It started to rain and she was kind enough to run and get umbrellas from her car. Due to rain we ended up in the museum so as to stay out of the weather. She was very knowledgeable about the paintings and shared all kinds of information regarding the artwork we would have never known!

The tour operator can’t tell time - Do not book this tour! We booked the tour for 10:30 and received 2 confirmations saying so. We arrived at the meeting place and were told the tour left at 10 and we were out of luck. Unprofessional to say the least.
