Modena Tours, Tickets & Excursions

"The trip was well organized and timely. Sergio was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, and the tour was well worth the money spent"

"Great family artisans and tour with a lot of detail. Amazing food pairings accompanied the balsamic tastings"

"The market was amazing but the best part was our guide, Loradena. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and made the experience so much fun!"

"Highly recommend. Worth every penny. Great communication, entertaining host, great food, great tour, put this on your must do list!"

"Alessandro's tour is a delight. We visited medium and small producers in the area in very small groups or with no one else there (midweek tour) and we got to learn all about the products, meet the producers, taste everything, and all with the guidance of Alessandro (in perfect English) with lots of knowledge about each stop. We only regretted our travel schedule and luggage restrictions did not allow us to purchase more of the perishable items, but if you have a way to easily transport purchases, I highly recommend this tour! It is a little off the beaten path but highly accessible - Alessandro picked us up at the train station that is easily reached from Bologna or Parma and dropped us off there, too. Alessandro is easy going and knowledgeable and puts visitors at ease. I highly recommend this tour!"

"Super visit and a great lunch.. Best value for money in Modena. Lovely house and grounds and delightful guides."

"Host/owner was lovely and had a lot of experience and passion about making good balsamic vinegar. Detailed explanation and showed us each part of their process and ended with tasting of the delicious products."

"We had one of the best days of our holidays on this tour - so fascinating, so much fun and so delicious. The producers who are part of this tour are amazing and the tour guide was just great. Really, really recommend doing this tour."

"The hospitality a d experience was out of this world. Got to learn how to make pasta like a real Italian and got to taste some amazing treats as well. Highly recommend for anyone with the slightest interest in food."

"Neat to see the Ferrari museum. Didn’t seem to be a reason to buy tickets ahead of time since we could have bought them when we arrived, but it was nice to have them. I wouldn’t make a special trip to go to the museum, but it was right on our way from Florence to Milan, and we were glad we went."

"Very moving experience. Travel thru the maestros life and home. Much more impressive than we thought."

"Christina is a jewel,showing us the most wonderful sights & food in Modena. Mille grazie. The walk was nicely paced. From market food to amazing gelato, my wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our day in modena."

"The tour was great and Elena was a wonderful guide, very positive and energetic, you could tell she was very passionate about Parmesan Reggiano and Balsamic of Modena. We ended up running late due to an accident that shut down the freeway, but Elena was great about communicating with us and getting us caught up with the tour. Sofia, who did the Lambrusco Wine portion of the tour, was also extremely friendly, energetic and passionate. The tour is split in to 3 parts and could use a little more clarity on exact location, the map directions get you close, but are a little confusing. You may be with different groups at each location depending on if other people only picked specific parts. The time for the cheese and to get to the wine was about perfect. We did, however, cut the Lambrusco tasting a little short to get to our 3rd part so we were not holding up anyone, so just a little more time between the wine and the balsamic parts of the tour would have been nice. We were able to go back to the cheese and wine locations after the tour though and have some more time to do some shopping. Definitely a must see tour for anyone with interests of any of these 3 marvels!"

"Caterina is an enthusiastic guide to the history and culture of Modena and the surrounding area. This includes the food culture and the agriculture. She took time to answer our many questions and yet managed to keep the tour on track for time."

"A tasty tour with a very friendly tour guide. We were a group of parents with two teenagers. It was lovely having a private tour, passing between carefully selected restaurants in Modena. The real thing, no tourist traps. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend! Come with an empty stomach."

"Friendly hosts, making pasta, lovely home setting, help with shopping. Enjoyed our conversation. Did this fire fun and it was fun to do!"

"Home-like atmosphere, friendly and gracious. Highly recommend. Great food and fellowship. Must do….."
