Top Chef level food tour experience

This was an absolutely amazing experience and truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Loved our tour!

We loved our private tour with Giacamo. He was such a wealth of knowledge and so kind. We learned so much about each of the factories and the food produced there. Plus, the tastings and lunch were delicious. Would recommend!!

Vacation highlight in Parma

We enjoyed a great day! The driver was prompt and friendly. Our guide was amazing! She took us to local factories for Parmesan and Prosciutto followed by a wonderful lunch. Two of our party are gluten free and they were able to accommodate without issues. Our last stop at a family run balsamic maker was special.

Response from ViatorMay 29, 2026

Thank you, Julia! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your day in Parma. It was a pleasure sharing our local food traditions with you, and we’re especially glad the gluten-free options worked well for your group. We hope to welcome you back to the Food Valley soon to discover even more of our region’s hidden gems!

Gastronomical Delight in Parma

Excellent tour of cheese making facility, ham curing plant and balsamic vinegar producer. We learned a great deal about the importance of these key products and their significance in the local culture.
