Itinerary
We begin our delicious food tour at a fascinating local meeting point, where you’ll learn the story of one of Italy’s most iconic operatic tenors, Luciano Pavarotti.
Next, we explore one of Modena’s most famous treasures: Aceto Balsamico di Modena. We’ll enjoy a tasting inside a family-owned Bottega, discovering the craftsmanship behind this world-renowned product.
We then head to the lively Mercato Albinelli, Modena’s historic covered market founded in 1931. With around 65 stalls offering fresh local products, it’s the perfect place to discover Modena’s beloved cheese and its traditional round flatbread — and learn how locals enjoy them.

Here, we’ll stop at a unique traditional trattoria to taste a classic Modenese pasta dish.
We finish the tour on a sweet note with an artisanal gelato at the local GIOELIA Cremeria.

Had an absolutely wonderful four-hour tour with Roberta. She is a delight! This is not a food tour with extremely small samples. These are actual servings, all from local people and locally-owned businesses. Seven different stops really filled us up. Highly recommend!
We had the best time on our walking tour with Roberta. Her love for her home and food really shone! She was warm, full of knowledge and made our experience really special and personalised. Stakes were high as it was my birthday, but the tour totally exceeded expectations. The secret item was our favourite of the day. Come hungry!
Great tour of Modena. Very informative and tasty. We learned so much about the region, the history and the food. Stephania has lived in the area her whole life and so much knowledge to share. She is very warm, friendly and engaging. I highly recommend this tour when you visit Modena.
Our guide Roberta was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about Modena as she was born here and is a lifelong resident. She was also very personable and friendly and made our day fun and educational. So much good food also - we definitely got enough to eat!
Stefani (guide) was knowledgeable, personal and engaging. The tour was very relaxed with easy conversations about all Modena and the region have to offer. Informative and delightful.
Stefani what’s amazing!! She was a great guide. Upbeat, friendly, didn’t rush us, included history of the Modena area, along with the history of the food. Plus, the food was fantastic!! We had a small group, which was awesome. If you want a great food tour in Modena, this is definitely the one. Cannot say enough good things about this tour!
Stephie provided a wonderful experience as we enjoyed walking around Modena learning about all of the food famous to Modena! The food sampling was AMAZING and Stephie was very knowledgeable!
Very knowledgeable and kind. Tour was a good amount of time. Stefania was wonderful, kind, and very well informed.
Stefy was incredible. Our tour was small so we felt we really were able to move around and experience a ton. We learned so much and felt like we walked away with a new Italian friend! All the food was delicious and it was a great variety!
I had a wonderful time on the Modena tour. Stefania was an amazing guide, very kind, warm and knowledgeable. She gave us a tour of the city, and we saw all the main sights and learned about some of the history. The food was delicious, starting out with pastries, then a bunch of savory local specialties, and ending with gelato.
This was a great food tour and our guide, Roberta was amazing. Although Roberta was doing this tour with some disruptive guests, she kept her smile, her professionalism, and her sense of humor. There was a wide variety of delicious food and wine (more food than we could eat) and she had tips on places to see and things to do in Modena. This was a great food tour. Thank you, Roberta.
Roberta was an excellent guide. We had all we could eat. We had pastries, wine, pasta, sandwiches, cheeses, balsamic, etc. I was very full. Modena is a wonderful town and a great place for “foodies”.
Roberta is an awesome guide. Although it was a busy Saturday in Modena, our group of about 12 stayed together and stopped multiple times for food tastings. The walk was slow-paced and do-able at any age. Only eat a very small breakfast because it was quite a bit of food: pastries, balsamic, cheese, sandwiches, pasta, wines, and gelato. Totally worth the money.
I This was one of the best foodie tours we have ever taken- and our guide Roberta was amazing! We ate a large variety of delicious foods from the area and learned a lot about how they came to be. I highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide!!
Absolutely loved this food tour! Roberta (host) was excellent and able to answer all our questions. The group size was perfect as it meant everyone was able to hear and also interact with Roberta throughout the tour. Roberta was also obviously passionate about the foods we tried and Modena. Everything we had to try was divine and in fantastic portion sizes too, making it excellent value. Definitely reccomend this 3.5 hour tour to anyone visiting Modena for its rich food history! 😁🤤❤️
Roberta was amazing!!! She took us to all the good places that you would never knew were so historic. It was very educational and fun at the same time. We met some people from the USA that were very nice and we all had a great time. I would definitely recommend this!!!
What a great day! It was absolutely magical and our guide Stefania was absolutely wonderful. We loved it so much we booked another at our next city in Italy!
We had an amazing food tour in Modena in September 2026. Our guide, Stefani, was incredible, so passionate about the food, the city and the culture of Emilia- Romagna. She made the experience so much fun and educational. I would definitely book with this company and Stefani again!
Stephanie was a great tour guide. She has great passion for the food and history of Modena. We learned a lot and had some delicious food.
We met Roberta for a food/drink local tour of Modena!! Roberta was just lovely… friendly, funny and knowledgeable!! There was just 4 of us on the tour which lasted around 4 hours and we visited mercato’s, little local balsamic, cheese, cake shops and a restaurant for traditional dishes…tasting local wine along the way! Finishing with the best gelato of course!! I would thoroughly recommend this tour…well worth the price! Roberta….thank you again, and hope to take a tour with you on our next visit!!

A gem in the heart of Modena. Roberta's passion for her home town really enhanced the experience as she lead us through the city enjoying a sampling of local treats and local lore as we went. Some highlights include PDO parmeggiano reggiano cheese, PDO Balsamic di Modena, Tigelli, hand-made pasta (gramigna as well as tortelloni w/ ricotta & spinach w/ sage butter sauce), local wines and gelato. Not to be missed!
We had the best FOOD from an amazing tour guide (Roberta Vinci).
Roberta was so sweet and genuine, and clearly very knowledgeable about food which was perfect! I definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn about proper Italian food - the Mercato Storico is a highlight!!
Roberta was an exceptional guide who explained how the history of the people and culture influenced both food and wine.
Amazing tour! Stefy was absolutely amazing :) would highly recommend
The tour with Stefy was incredible. We visited a variety of lovely shops, markets and restaurants. Stefy is a very warm, personable and enjoyable person to be with and she shared information about the local cuisine, culture and history with fantastic enthusiasm to keep us all engaged. Cannot recommend enough if you're visiting this phenomenal town.
Enjoyable and informative tour. A fair amount of food but spread out over a few hours. Food was excellent, cheese and balsamic vinegar tasting was unique and informative. The hostess Roberta was charming, and enthusiastically informed us about Modena and the local food. Would recommend this tour.
Stefy was amazing. She was so great with our kids, patient, and showed us all the high points of the city. She even gave us tips about what places to see and do around the city after the tour. I cannot recommend her enough, you have to book this tour with Stefy!

Stephania was hands down the best tour guide in Modena! She made the experience feel like I was exploring the city with a close friend rather than being on a tour. From start to finish, everything was seamless, and the food was absolutely incredible. Her passion, warmth, and local knowledge truly made the day unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a tour with her—you will not be disappointed!
