Top Modena Half-day Tours

"One of the highlights of our two week vacation in Italy! Our tour guide, Catrina was terrific! Very knowledgeable about fine food, wine, traditional balsamic and all things with great Italian Food !! Our tour included stops at the indoor farmers market in Modena, several restaurants, balsamic vinegar store, where we learned about real Balsamic and the loving process involved in making "real traditional" balsamic. Great Tour! Terrific Tour Guide. Grazie Mille!!"

"We booked this tour last minute and had no idea what to expect. Within the hour of booking, Claudio had contacted us to get our information and sent us photos of his van and the meeting point in Reggio Emilia, making things easy from the start. Claudio was super friendly and you can tell very passionate about his family’s business. His passion comes though in the tour. We started the morning going to breakfast at a little place in the countryside where I had the best cappuccino of my life and some local breakfast foods. This meal is included in the tour price. Then off to the RIGGIANO ;) cheese factory! This is the heart of the tour and you’re given a thorough explanation of how things work. It’s an intimate setting and feels super original because it is. This tour is seriously that great! From the factory you go to the farm and see the dairy cows. It’s a sight to see! Then you go to the final place where you’ll have a light lunch with cheese meats, wine, and balsamic, all of which are produced by Claudio’s family. To top it off you’ll get a gift at the end and the chance to buy what you want but there is no pressure at all. Claudio will return you to the train station and you will have had an amazing, authentic experience. Have you booked your tour yet? Seriously this was my favorite part of our two week Italian vacation. Book Claudio’s tour already! You won’t be sorry! Ciao!"

"Our tour with Sofia was amazing. She contacted us after our booking to notify us that unfortunately the winery was unavailable for our date but was eager to fill the spot with something of interest to my husband and I. She was a lovely host and very informative tour guide. It felt more like a morning with an Italian friend than just a traditional tour with a stranger. She taught us all about the food certifications and how to ensure we're buying quality products. She also introduced us to Pagani the Italian Hypercar company we had never heard of before. The company takes hand made to a whole new level. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone stopping in on Modena. We enjoyed it so much and speak of it often."

"We visited 4 owner operated food shops and enjoyed tasting local foods eaten by the residents of Reggio Emilia. Our guide Giovanni was very interesting and really knows and enjoys quality foods. I strongly recommend this tour!"
