What to expect
Expect a steady four-hour walking tour, punctuated by stops to eat and drink. You'll start in the bustle of the Central Market, meeting vendors and sampling their wares, then step into quieter streets linking San Lorenzo's façade to the Duomo's overwhelming scale. Mid-tour, you'll sit for a proper wine tasting with cured meats and cheese, then move to a small local spot for soup. The pace is leisurely but you're covering distance on foot—wear comfortable shoes. Your guide handles the narrative; you handle the appetite.
