This was a fantastic experience and a great value. It was fun for all of our family with something for everyone.
Great experience visiting the Parmesan factory the Balsamic vinegar factory at a family’s private farm where we had lunch a very nice winery which had an amazing collection of rare cars collection by the owner and at last the visit to the Ferrari museum. The guide and our driver was a very nice person and very courteous
It was a very personal and informative tour. The cheese factory and tasting as well as the family owned balsamic vinegar asceta were amazing. The lunch we had at the agriturismo was wonderful. I would recommend this trip!
Excellent tour of the region. All 4 experiences were nicely done. Experience was Informative and immersive.
The trip was well organized, the driver was professional, van was comfortable, and the tours were all amazing. Impossible to be hungry after this tour. The Lambrusco tour was great, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cheese and Parmesan farm were incredible, and eating lunch in the vinegar producers home was a surreal homey experience.
We had our own transportation. It was an amazing tour , each leg of the experience was outstanding! Stefania did an incredible job at the parmigiana farm . Chiara was such a great , knowledgeable hostess at Giacobazzi winery . Next , the visit at the balsamic vinegar place along with the tasting and the lunch was unbelievable! All deserves five stars . Lastly , the Ferrari Museum in Marranelo was the icing on the cake . Loved the entire day !
Very nice tour with excellent guides. There was more than enough time at all four stops. Learned a lot at each stop.
One of the best day trips I've ever taken. We visited a cheese farm, a traditional balsamic producer, had a fantastic agriturismo lunch, and finished at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello — a genuinely perfect mix of food, culture, and excitement. Everything was well organized, the guides were knowledgeable and passionate, and the food and tastings alone were worth the price. The Ferrari Museum was the cherry on top. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the region. You won't be disappointed!
Good event with very good tour guides, but at over €800, it is way too expensive!!!! The balsamic and Lambrusco tasting was excellent

The best tour of the week for a returning Italian vacationer. We missed Bologna the first time around, what a shame.The best food of the week!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear Bologna became such a highlight of your return trip to Italy. And “best food of the week” is definitely one of the nicest compliments Emilia-Romagna can receive 😊 We hope to welcome you back again soon!
