Tour with passionate guide - Although it rained, it was a very detailed description of Parma's most important sights and a lot of history background. We even had a little cheese tasting at the end of the tour. Thanks again!

Excellent tour of Parma Centro storico - Excellent tour guide (sorry to say I forgot her name - young, blonde woman, excellent English). She gave us an excellent tour of Parma history and sites in the Centro storico. We ended with a Parmesano-Reggiano tasting!

Overview of Parma - This is a great way to learn the places to visit. Gulia was very knowledgeable and did a nice job explaining us the history of the locations. You need to plan additional time to visit sites since this does not include going inside many of the sites we visited.

Wonderful Tour of Parma - Laura was our excellent guide in Parma! She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this beautiful city. She explained the relationship between Parma and Rome and the rest of Italy. I would highly recommend this tour as the FIRST tour for a wonderful overview.

The tour operator can’t tell time - Do not book this tour! We booked the tour for 10:30 and received 2 confirmations saying so. We arrived at the meeting place and were told the tour left at 10 and we were out of luck. Unprofessional to say the least.
