Modena walking tour with tastings

Modena is a hidden gem, not yet discovered by mass tourism, a place where artisan workshops, hand-made traditional food, and historical family-run shops are still at every corner. It is just a little town, still its name it's known in the world in many different fields as synonymous with excellence. Some examples? Modena has one of the few restaurants in the world with three Michelin stars, Osteria Francescana, which has also been voted twice as the best restaurant in the world and the city's gastronomic tradition is renowned worldwide. Modena is also home to Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati, as well as has been for one of the most successful tenors of all time, Luciano Pavarotti. Not enough?
