Great tour "The Princes of Bassa", Davide was awesome! Our tour exactly as stated- "visit Parmigiano Reggiano cheesefactory, see all the production chain and the different rooms with storage. We ride in the countryside on low traffic roads and we stop in a small village to visit, before, the Culatello of Zibello's cellar and restaurant." I rode a nice Ebike, and my daughter a normal bike. The day was expected to be rainy, but Davide was in contact in case we wanted to cancel or alter the plans. Weather turned out drier than expected. Pretty flat 40 km was not too strenuous, but a good ride with hardly any cars. Starts in the city mostly on bike path. Davide speaks excellent English and has many insights into the cheese and meat production, and Parma in general. The cheese storage is just how you image, thousands of wheels of cheese. If you like to bike and want to see a few genuine sights along the way this is it.
