"My husband and myself and our friends booked a tour with Fabio around Parma. We wasn’t sure what to expect but what a great time we had.
Fabio met us on time exactly where we’d planned. He was super-friendly and very knowledgeable. He walked us around the city showing us the sights and included a few stops for us to do some shopping!
Fabio tailored the tour to our needs and went at our pace. We wasn’t rushed around at all.
The food tastings were great and well organised for us in advance. Fabio even helped us book a table in a very popular restaurant for that evening.
Fabio is a lovely, kind man with great conversation. He made us all feel at ease on the tour. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend him.
(Thanks Fabio. Remember to reach out when you’re next in London x)"
"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!"
"I have worked with many guides over the years and Riccardo was one of the very best. His knowledge is expansive and he drew so many sociocultural connections for my group in such an engaging way. Few guides are so knowledgeable about both history and art history. My group absolutely adored him."

"Riccardo provided a fantastic tour and highlighted the most amazing parts of the city! The theatre in the Pillota was breathtaking along with the art hidden within. Thanks so much Riccardo! "

Passionate, knowlegeable and fun
"The tour was informative, enlightening and immensely enjoyable. The knowledge Riccardo shared with me on history, art, architecture, local flavor, etc… are not something one can get from tour books. Like the presbytery of San Giovanni Evangelista - I would never dare to enter myself through a half closed door. And the lunch place we went - again without his guidance I would never dare to sit down at a super local place and have a conversation with total strangers about food (even though he hates Ferrara). His enthusiasm influenced my feeling for the city, the people and the culture there. I wish we had more guides like Riccardo to show us the hidden treasure of Italy, beyond the crowded canals of Venice and over-toured towns of Tuscany. Keep up the good work!"
"Fabio is a very sympathetic guy.
He adjusted the tour to our interests and to places we had not yet discovered.
We had also a lot of different questions which he could answer.
The food was delicious and more than enough.
Thanks for the great tour!"
"Riccardo tailor planned a day in Parma for two around a late booking. His knowledge of the art & history of every venue brought so much more to appreciate in the little town than famed ham & cheese. The trip was followed by visit to a castle in the countryside and recommendation to eat in a fantastic trattoria. Highly recommend to spend time with Riccardo when in Bologna & the region."
