My husband and myself and our friends booked a tour with Fabio around Parma. We wasn’t sure what to expect but what a great time we had. Fabio met us on time exactly where we’d planned. He was super-friendly and very knowledgeable. He walked us around the city showing us the sights and included a few stops for us to do some shopping! Fabio tailored the tour to our needs and went at our pace. We wasn’t rushed around at all. The food tastings were great and well organised for us in advance. Fabio even helped us book a table in a very popular restaurant for that evening. Fabio is a lovely, kind man with great conversation. He made us all feel at ease on the tour. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend him. (Thanks Fabio. Remember to reach out when you’re next in London x)Fantastic Fabio!

Fabio is a very sympathetic guy. He adjusted the tour to our interests and to places we had not yet discovered. We had also a lot of different questions which he could answer. The food was delicious and more than enough. Thanks for the great tour!Entertaining tour in the old town of Parma

The tour wasn’t what we expected. Fabio was really nice, but it wasn’t really food tour. We had some nice charcuterie at one spot and then gelato, but we expected multiple stops and a tour focused more on the food of the region rather than history. The description refers to at least 3 stops and a food tour, so we just didn’t feel it matched the description and the price.

Fabio is a great guy and a great guide. We learned a lot about the architectural history of Parma, our interest, and tasted great food, our other interest. The tour was well paced, getting around, making good use of the time, while not rushing. Many thanks Fabio!Well balanced, well paced
