Incredible tour of an authentic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese factory and a wonderful tour of a family owned Parma Ham factory in the hills. Our driver Francesco was very friendly, professional, and polite offering dinner suggestions on the way home. Everyone from both factories were very friendly and welcoming as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the tours and loved the traditional Italian lunch that followed. Highly recommend

You have to redeem vouchers for actual tickets at the entrance, other than that- pretty much what you expect of the ferrari museum. the best part I would say is the simulator- It was not included with the tickets but at the end right before exiting the museum/before going to gift shop there are the simulator right there- worth the price and so much fun

The online ticket worked wonderfully. No queuing, we got through quickly. We really liked the museum.

Vitoria was lovely and kind, the tour was amazing and very interesting! Strongly recommended

Enjoyed seeing the cars and learning the history of Ferrari.
