Everything was managed professionally from the correspondence/communications to the logistics.
Marika was stellar and the producers just exceptional! Learned so much!
Perhaps it would be nice to have some kind of hand out or reference re: the major production steps/processes?
Took tons of photos & just shared on social - well eventually include all in a blog post as well.
Thank you Rossella! Will gladly refer clients to you!

She explained us about all the process during the visit, recommended places to take pictures.
I loved the Parmigiano Reggiano factory visit, Conti Salumuficio and Marco's balsamic vinegar place was amazing.
We loved all, specifically the lunch.

Our group was only 5 people in early November. Our guide was lovel and very knowledgeable, and our driver was super nice. The ride to each of the factories was very convenient and smooth, I can't imagine any other way to get there if you didn't have your own car. I learned so many things about the production of food, the processes, the distribution, and--most importantly--we got to try plenty of fresh samples. The "light" lunch (which ended up being very filling and hefty!) was a great way to socialize with the other people in my group.
I definitely think this tour is a great value for the time spent and things seen and eaten. I would highly recommend taking the full-day tour to anyone considering it!

E' stata un'esperienza molto interessante e coinvolgente, un 'dietro le quinte' assolutamente da provare.

We are so glad that we chose Parma (and the Emilia-Romagna region), and very glad that we chose Maestro tours!
We opted for the full-day tour, and it was a very good experience. It ranked order, our favorite experiences were:
1. Parmigiano Reggiano
2. Balsamic Vinegar
3. Lunch
4. Prosciutto di Parma (the ham was wonderful, but it was a bit...different...being in large rooms filled with pig legs! Definitely a memorable experience, though)
On our tour in late October, we were on a small bus with ~15 people for the two morning tours, and 7 people for the afternoon tour.
Our tour guide Elisa (one of the founders of Maestro) was excellent.
The tours were all punctual, well organized, informative, and very enjoyable. It was fun being on a tour with individuals from all around the world! (US, Canada, Spain, Sweden, etc.).
Yes, it was a "touristy" experience...but that was kind of the point. An excellent way to see many highlights in a relatively intimate, small group environment. And not having to worry about any of the logistics definitely makes the experience more relaxing!
I would highly recommend the tour.
If you have a rental car, I would also HIGHLY recommend taking a few hours just drive up into the foothills south of Parma and just enjoy driving through some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever experienced. It definitely meets/exceeds the beauty of California wine country!

The only difficulty I had was in finding them online, but since you are reading this I presume that is not your case.
Luckily I got the recommendation from a local person who kindly suggested this tour.
The booking was really easy and the meeting point is really centric. The bus was in excellent conditions and you can leave your bag in the bus during the visit.
At each location you get the chance to buy the products and if you want to know an average price before you get there, you can ask Maestro and they will gladly help you out with it. If I'm not mistaken, you can also pay with credit card at every location. The cheese and the ham both are sold in vacuum sealed bags so you don't have to worry about any luggage restrictions.
Our guide Elena was really good and very concerned that we all understood each process. If someone didn't understood something, she will try to explain it in a different way in order for us to catch the idea. And the more relevant questions you have, the more knowledge you can take from this tour.
If you book the full day tour as I did, you get to have lunch at a nice restaurant where the owners constantly make sure that everything is in order.
And just wait until you try the balsamic vinegar, be prepared to be amazed.
Definitely recommend it!

The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging about the historical development of the products and about the actual processes as we toured the locations. At each location we enjoyed samples of the various products and of various ages. I learned so much about these products and enjoyed the ride through the hills and valleys to each location. Lunch was at a lovely countryside restaurant where we enjoyed a multi-course meal finishing with an apple and pear tart still warm from the oven.
On another note: The Maestro Travel website mentions guaranteed departures and I can attest that this is true. I visited in early March and was surprised to discover that I was the only person who had registered for the tour that day. The tour took place, even with just one person. So for me this turned out to be a totally private tour, but this would not be the case in busier seasons.
I highly recommend this tour.

The only gliches we had were BEFORE the tour. We received 2 vouchers by email, both with my name on them, so I questioned the office and was told that they were correct, with no explanation. After going back and forth a few times, they said the BAR CODE is different on each. Ah ha:) I told them that this explanation was important when emailing the vouchers. It avoids unnecessary further emails.
We arrived at the tourist office in Parma at 9:20A for a 9:30A departure. A woman was on the phone outside with us, about 15' away, and didn't acknowledge us (we had our paperwork out)...she walked toward her car about 50' away from us, at 9:30, still on the phone. We wondered if she were our guide. We finally asked the tourist office and they said SHE was our guide. Ok...that was weird. Anyway, after we connected, things went MUCH BETTER. She explained that the tourist office misplaced her flag. She apologized and said she would make sure our experiences didn't happen again and I believe her! Sharp gal and very into making the tour a great one.
Elisa, our guide and owner, was so incredibly knowledgeable. She not only knows each of the steps of cheese, ham and balsamic vinegar making, but she understands the science behind each step. I felt as though I could make them at home after spending the day with her. She truly is amazing. She grew up on a farm and took courses on food scientce in college, so she's really well prepared. I won't go into the details of the tour itself. The pictures and explanations are enough. You need some surprises.
I might add, it's also VERY RARE to find a driver/guide in Parma. You have to buy your tour with guide and then pay for a driver/car separately (or rent your own car and YOU drive), to the tune of about E185 PP. We paid about E95 PP, a much better value. Our guide has both licenses and, as far as I know, Maestro is the only tour company in PARMA to have guides with both. They are way ahead of the curve and we felt lucky to have found them.
After touring a while, I asked her about her company..... and the story behind what they did to get started and the ways they are choosing to expand is really fascinating. They are filling niches wherever they find them....clever gals, and they work very hard for their fees. I believe they have only been in business about 4 years. They are doing amazingly well for such a short time.
We had only THREE people in our November trip, hence the private car, instead of the small Tasty Bus. We lost our 3rd person after a half day. The guide drove her back to Parma (no explanation to us except that she would return) at lunch time. We found out that the other gal was taking their COOKING TOUR later that day.
We had a delightful lunch in a simple place in a small town. Where we were, this was a typical restaurant... The service was truly amazing. Such nice, friendly, attentive and kind staff. The owner spoke English.
I could go on about this trip. The rest of the tour was PRIVATE with just our party of 2. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who really wants to get to know the smaller producers and how they do their work. Truly fascinating. I don't think we could have chosen a better company/guide than Elisa and Maestro to show us around. Thanks to the entire team....you have a winner!

It was great learning about behind the scenes of this fantastic and delicious product.
It is really important to learn where your food comes from, and the people that create it.
The Parma ham tour was also great for the same reasons.
Both companies provided samples to traste with wine. The people were friendly and our tour guide , I’m sorry I don’t remember her name , but she was an owner if the company too. She was really entertaining and full of knowledge to impart to us tourists, making it a wonderful and educational day!

We visited the ham factory at noon, so all the production process stopped for lunch break. We did not get to see any of the production process, but only the hams at each stage and listening the tour guide to explain the steps.
Overall, it was interesting to see inside the factory and "hear" the production process, but wasn't worth the money of 60 euro each. They did try to provide prosecco and bread sticks after each tour.

Our visits to the cheese, Prosciutto and especially the traditional balsamic vinegar producer were highlights of our few days in Parma. Apart from learning so much about the production of these delicious foods, we loved The Tastings, meeting the producers and finding we were visiting smaller group or family owned places which added a more personal touch to the day....and we enjoyed being driven around the picturesque countryside.
We highly recommend this great day out and we are VERY pleased we took the Full Day Option which included a delicious lunch and the Balsamic visit, rather than the Half Day Option.

Overall a great experience in seeing the production of the local foods. Our guide was very knowledgeable about production processes for everything and made the visits enjoyable.
The day-tour is not cheap and thus our expectations for the program were high. We felt that the tour did not quite deliver value to meet our expectations. The ham tasting was quite limited, with only 2 cuts served with no options to try more, likewise no-one from the producer joined to explain company history or processes. Lunch was disappointing, rather limited and you needed to pay for additional wine beyond the first glass. Again, at the price for the tour, we would have expected more. The cheese and particularly the balsamico visits and tastings were great with introduction/participation by the owner.
This being said, it was a super interesting insight into the making of these iconic products, and would recommend the tour..and recommend tastybus to improve on the areas where they were falling a bit short to get ***** everywhere.
