Don’t book this tour. Total rip off. No assistance at the Bologna train station. Unclear directions to meeting point in Parma and very cramped van. Tour guide was knowledgeable but talked too slowly and stayed in each spot too long. Not really much to see at either the parmigiano or prosciutto factory. This tour did not offer us a continuation on to Modena for a balsamic tour, which everyone else in our group was doing. Why didn’t GYG offer a train back to Bologna from Modena. We were dropped off at the Reggio Emilia station 2-1/2 hours before our return train. Plenty of time for us to have added another stop on the tour. We were able to change to an earlier train. Noticed the true round trip cost was about 100 euros per person. Why then did the rest of the disappointing tours cost 500 euros more?!? What a waste of time and money. You could book the trains yourself and save some money, which we’d advise now that we know no one is anywhere to assist you. Spend your money on another tour
