What to expect
Expect a walking tour that doubles as a working appetite. Your guide meets you in the old town and steers you through narrow streets, stopping at genuine neighbourhood spots—markets alive with shouts and colour, family-run pizzerias unchanged in decades, tiny pastry windows displaying gilded confections. You'll stand, taste, chat with vendors, move on. Flavours build: savoury then sweet, aperitifs then digestivi. This isn't a formal tasting; it's how locals eat throughout the day. Bring an open stomach and cash. The pace is leisurely but covers distance on foot.
Good to know
Bring cash for each stop—no combined bill. The guide offers a small surprise. Wheelchair users can access all venues and surfaces. Service animals welcome. Suitable for any fitness level, though you'll walk roughly 2–3 kilometres over several hours with frequent pauses.
