Pro's: you get to experience, parma ham, parma cheese and balsemic vinegar. At each place, people who work there conduct the tour (typically family members) and they know their stuff. There was just the right amount of time at each location. The locations of the balsemic vinegar and parma ham were beautiful. Con's: I wouldn't really call the lunch a lunch or even a light lunch. It consists of the parma ham sample, some more bites of parma cheese, and some samples of cakes. But you do get a glass of wine and if you'd like more ham you can have some. And based on the timing of the return to Parma, it was hard to find a place to have a proper lunch.
