“We did the 1/2 day experience. It was absolutely amazing and have already recommended it to family who are going to Parma soon. Lisa (our Guide) knows her stuff and loves Parma very much. She is knowledgeable, personable, and very engaging. We would highly recommend this tour to others. Started at 930am, we were able to observe an actual Cheese Master in action, tasted the best cheese in my life, toured a ham factory - equally amazing, and then sampled some of the most amazing local meats. We left after that but many stayed on for the lunch and vinegar experience.”
