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

We joined Francisco on a food tour in Parma, and it was fantastic. His passion for local cuisine made the experience unforgettable. Francisco’s connections with mom-and-pop shops let us taste unique regional delicacies. His demonstration of traditional Italian dining, from antipasti to dolci, enriched our meal at a trattoria. Highly recommended for exploring Parma’s culinary heritage.An Unforgettable Food Tour

Francisco gave us a tour beyond expectations. He has a deep connection to the city, the region, and Italy, that showed in his explanation of the food industry and the local culture of food. He showed us some excellent markets for buying local products from friendly shops. He was professional, warm, engaging, and knowledgeable. Being trilingual helped us learn some Italian. We look forward to his cookbook on foods of the area!Wonderful experience with Francisco

We had one day in Parma - and we made the good decision to spend the first two hours of it with Francisco. We had come to Parma primarily due to the lure of the food. Francisco expanded our understanding of the area’s most famous ingredients (prosciutto and Parmesan) and introduced us to some new ones. Highly recommend! Parma and its Tables
