The tour begins with a walk in the Parco Ducale to reach an historical local club and taste the king of cold cuts and fog, the Culatello with curls of butter, accompanied by a sparkling Malvasia.
We will continue passing through an historical site surrounded by greenery and then we will taste the Salame di Felino in the streets of the center, drinking a glass of Lambrusco.
Passing through the Cathedral and the Baptistery, we will eat in a “Bib Gourmand” restaurant of the Michelin guide, a typical dish of the Emilia tradition: Meat Cappelletti in broth.
And, for a happy ending, a sweet note: “Tortel dols”, a typical dessert made of shortcrust pastry and filled with jam, accompanied by a Barniolino: a typical liqueur.
The tour ends in Piazza Garibaldi.
If you prefer to live your experience exclusively or only with your travel partners, there is the possibility to make your tour private!
If you do not want other travelers to join the tour until you reach the maximum capacity of 9 people and you would be more comfortable sharing it only with your family, your friends or your partner making it a super exclusive journey. During the payment phase you will be asked if you want to make the PRIVATE tour, with a price supplement of 200€.
Thanks to our guide you can travel around the city and its genuine flavours: sweet, salty, organic, home-made.
The preparation and passion of our local food guide will guarantee you a unique tour: each flavor will be explained, each moment will be lived intensely and every taste will be real and shared.
It is very important to be in time in order to guarantee to all the guests of the tour to start at the scheduled time.
There is a grace period of 15 minutes after the tour start time but if you don’t show up you most probably will be left behind.
After the tour starts it will not be possible to join later.
Yes, all our administration and tour guides can speak English. We are adding other languages to our offerings as we grow and expand the business.
It may be possible to perform the tours in Spanish, but only if previously asked and at least 4 days before.
Our “local food guide” is Valerio: he is a young and enterprising man who knows Emilia inside out, like his home, because it is his home. He traveled all over the world to better understand and learn the secrets of cooking.
His passion and knowledge are the perfect mix to introduce you to every culinary detail and every perfect match.
Yes, there are tours for guests who cannot ingest gluten, but we cannot assure cross-contamination. A notification sent previously to our administration at info@eatin-parma.it is well accepted since it can provide us more time to organize and ask to the restaurants to pay maximum attention when they prepare our food.
For our tours, with the exception of “What The Great Musicians Ate”, sports or elegant clothing is not necessary. However we recommend comfortable clothing – better to avoid heels or uncomfortable shoes and suits… these tours are made for walking!
Unfortunately, Italy is not at the forefront in removing architectural barriers, so we cannot assure to overcome them all as they are present in almost every step of our tours. We are very sorry for this.
Of course not! Our tours are FOR EVERYONE: children, families, couples, friends, lovers, lone wolves…
We want to provide our services to people of all backgrounds and beliefs… nothing more than food is the best way to connect with people around the world.
We are happy to have tour guests of any gender, sexual identity, race, religion and nationality.
