This was an exceptional trip — exploring deep in to the manufacturing processes of our favorite foods. We went to a parmigiano-reggiano factory, prosciutto di Parma factory, then a delicious lunch and then a balsamic vinegar maker. We learned so much and it was super fun/fascinating. Plus, lots of yummy tastes. Our guide, Monica, was extremely knowledgeable and a delight to be with all day. The real deal. One of the best tours we have ever been on — still talking about it, just awesome.

Exceptional service and food. Congratulations to the chef. Honestly nothing more to add.Just visit the restaurant .worth of every penny, dime or euro.

My husband and I did the Food Valley Gourmet Tour - Full Day. Everything about this tour was great. From my first enquiries, to booking and follow up emails. Nothing was missed. Our driver Paulo picked us up from our accommodation in Bologna and we drove to Parma for our first stop and met our English speaking guide Giacomo. We had the best time and we can truely say this tour was one of the best experiences we have had in Italy. We can definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in food in regional Emilia Romagna. Thank you.

Our guide, Monica, was friendly, thorough and punctual. We had a great full day eating and drinking our way through the food valley. The itinerary was organized and clear. Great communication throughout.

This was an amazing tour and WELL worth the visit!!! Absolutely NO complaints, great job Daniella!!! Make sure you book this because it was incredible!!!

FRATELLI GALLONI TOUR Barbara led us on a journey through the prosciutto process from start to finish. It was incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. FRATELLI GALLONI is a family business that is dedicated to the traditional process.

I had a great experience. I thank Alina for helping me. thanks to her, I was able to obtain my visa for a few days. professional and fast service. I recommend to everyone.

I had the great fortune to take the Cook with a Local class. The local chef, Cristina, was warm and welcoming and taught me several key secrets of classic Parma cooking. Her home and kitchen are truly beautiful. The language barrier posed no problem for us, as she did a great job of showing technique and the beautiful simplicity of allowing the ingredients to shine. Be sure to show up hungry! She is sure to stuff you with many tortelli.

We chose The Big Fives private tour and it was the perfect introduction to Emilia-Romagnan cuisine! Our guide, Monica, expertly toured us through the making of parmigiano reggiano cheese, culatello (such a treat!), various wines, and prosciutto before we visited a fifth-generation balsamic vinegar operation on our own. We even got to stop for photos of the impressive Castello di Torrechiara along the way. Monica was excellent, the food was superb, and it was great getting to try so many iconic Parma foods in a single day. Note: Drive times between destinations can be up to an hour, which we didn't mind but can apparently be frustrating for some. We were just excited to see more of Italy!

Our guide, Giuliano was very fun and informative. She made the tour very fun. She was most accommodating. So glad we did this tour and got her as our guide.

A full day that was very informative and fun. The private tour was pricey but well worth it! Our guide was informative, patient and pleasant and our driver was great as well. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for something a little different and informative, especially if you love Italian cuisine!

I did already and you threw it out. I guess you don’t take complaints only good reviews more reason I won’t come to your store. Bad BROCOLI Cheddar soup like thick mush dumped in the bowl = girl tells us to sit at a table and they will come around and call your name - no they let it sit on the counter and get cold - poor training -where is the manager that he didn’t notice the food not being picked up. And get your employees on the same page as to how people are suppose to get their food.

This is a top notch tour and class! Francesca (#1+#2)! were very knowleable, passionate and helpful. They made our trip so much fun and the gelato was fabulous! They also helped us because they spoke flawless english and suffered through our poor italian words!

Such a great day learning about all my favorite foods! Very informational visiting small batch family makers.

I had high expectations for this e-bike tour and they were exceeded. Visiting a working farm outside Parma was the highlight. We were shown the animals, heard about life on a small farm and were graciously offered delicious and generous samples of cheese, honey, bread , wine: all products of the farm. E-biking through the beautiful countryside, we ended up at a wonderful winery. A tour and an amazing lunch featuring specialties of the region and 3 different wines. Our guide Luca was great: friendly , informative and made the tour very special.
