Degustazione e Biking Parma

Davide was brilliant. Such a fun tour. Small group, easy ride. Took great care explaining everything to us - took us to a fabulous Salumeria as well. We made this our very first Parma experience and it’s been wonderful. Highly recommend for families - our boys are 9 & 11 and enjoyed their time riding with Davide.

A little exercise, a lot of learning and a delicious taste experience. Safe cycling + a fun and knowledgeable guide = an absolutely delightful afternoon.

We read somewhere that this tour was the hi-light of their trip so we booked it and it was the absolute hi-light of our trip to Bologna. Davido was incredible - patient, friendly, warm, knowledgeable … perfetto! We rode out to a Parmesan cheese factory on the outskirts of Parma (a lovely city) and learned about the process, history and culture of Parmesan cheese manufacturing. It was fascinating! Then we rode to a wonderful deli and tasted different types of meats and Parmesan cheeses of varying age. All we can say is, do this! Meet Davido! Spend time with him! You won’t regret it!

“A wonderful experience with Davide! 🇮🇹😊 Very kind, fun, and, above all, super patient. We enjoyed touring Parma and learning all its secrets immensely. The visit to the Parmigiano Reggiano factory was the icing on the cake 🧀✨. Thank you, Davide, for sharing your passion and making the day so special. Highly recommended!”

We had a great time with Davide who guided us to a family-run cheese factory. The route was quite simple, whether by electric or manual bike. The visit to the cheese factory allowed us to see the artisanal production and understand the whole process to obtain this quality parmesan that we were able to taste. Upon our return to Parma, we stopped to taste local cold cuts with a good wine. I can only recommend this activity with Davide! Thank you for this beautiful morning 🙏

Davide is very kind and nice. The visit to the production facility was interesting, even if you only see a small part of the live production. 20 km by bicycle is very doable because it is all flat. Lunch is more of a standing tasting. A seated lunch would have been ideal.

We had a wonderful morning biking with Davide to a small cheese producer outside of Parma and grabbing lunch at a farm where Davide had apprenticed to learn how to cure meats. The biking (we used traditional bikes) was flat and very doable for us in our 40s and our son who is 12. Weaving around the traffic circles on our way out of town was the only somewhat challenging part for us as some of the turns were tight, but that's nothing to complain about. The meetup spot at their location in town was convenient to walk from our hotel, and easy to find. The experience of watching the cheesemaking and touring that facility was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. Davide was also wonderful at chatting up our son to keep him distracted while riding, which allowed us to simply enjoy the beautiful rural scenery. Definitely recommend this tour!

Ebikes are available for an additional charge. Davide is a fantastic guide and great conversationalist. Verify interesting and informative tour of the people, places, and artisanal processes of Parma. Highly recommend the tour!

Excellent tour. Our guide was very professional and friendly. It was a fantastic experience, and he made a difference. The bicycles were in perfect condition, and it was an unforgettable experience for cheese lovers.

Did this in 100 F degrees and it was still great! Parma is incredibly bike friendly! So interesting to learn about cheese & our guide was great!
