Perfect and delicious way to see Modena! - We greatly enjoyed our time being led around Modena by the wonderful Alessia!! She had so much to share on the subject of Italian food and food in general. She also personalized the tour by including information on what we were interested in learning about as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
