WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

Lisa lead our Parma food tour and she far exceeded our expectations! We got a behind the scenes experience from a knowledgeable local guide. Every bite was delicious and it felt very authentic. I would book Taste Bologna in every city.

Amazing, delicious experience. Samantha our guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. We were treated to food locations we would never have known on our own. Small group of 5 meant we had a more personalized experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This tour was exceptional! We had been to Parma before but without a guide. This was such a different experience. We were not only told about history and culture but the food part was amazing. We went inside the kitchens with the chefs! Had an incredible amount of food ( breakfast, pasta, cheese and hams with wine. The highlight was having LISA as our guide. She is so much fun and enthusiastic! Not sure you can choose the guide but we highly suggest Lisa! Fabulous day in Parma

I can only recommend the food tour in Parma. Trying local food, looking behind the scenes, learning about the history of it all – it had everything I could wish for. Shoutout to our guide Lisa who did an outstanding job.

We went on 3 different food tours in the Emilia-Romagnole region and this tour with Lisa in Parma was by far the best. She deftly intertwined food tasting with history, and the behind the scenes visits to experience food preparation was fascinating. All of her chosen stops were a delight. Her tour was one of the reasons why Parma was one of our favorite towns in our two week tour.
