Food Tour with Tastings & Sightseeing in Parma
Here is what's in store for you
Our local guide will provide an overview of Parma, its history, art, cuisine, and cultural traditions, by walking you through its old neighborhoods in the city center and old alleys, filled with local and artisanal shops and botteghe. Parma is a wonderful city, filled with local shops and hidden gems, that still truly captures Italian Authenticity at its finest. Of course, you’ll do all of this while eating and sampling the local flavours!
You will start with coffee and sweet treats, either for a late morning breakfast or in the afternoon as a digestive after lunch, in the true Italian style. After this, you will continue towards more savoury tastings, from cured meats and cold cuts, to cheese bites and fresh bread bruschette with different toppings.
You will be walking from place to place while our local guide will tell you stories and information about local food traditions, Parma’s history and main food influence and importance towards other Italian cities. You will learn about interesting activities that you can do, or places you can visit during your stay, and ask the guide questions about any curiosity you might have!

Nice walk through the center of Parma
It was very nice chatting with Giada, who told us several interesting facts about Parma and the surrounding area.
The food and wine part was much appreciated.
The tour was a gift from a friend, and you don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
However, I feel I should point out that the cost of the tour is a tad high.
I don't think I would have bought it with my own money.
I gave it four glasses out of five only for this reason, otherwise it was very pleasant.
