The tour was so interesting and the cheese tasting delicious. After, we road back to Parma for a tour of the city and lunch on Davide at a local restaurant. We so enjoyed Davide’s company and that of our fellow bikers. Definitely an adventure we would do again!”

Nonostante i 37 gradi di agosto con le e-bikes non é stato un problema e abbiamo vissuto un esperienza che ricorderemo a lungo. La visita al caseificio e alla cantina sono state molto interessanti e piacevoli. Da consigliare!!”
