What to expect
Expect a measured pace that balances walking with eating. You'll cover about 2–3 kilometres on foot, stopping frequently at carefully chosen food retailers rather than formal restaurants. Your guide will share stories about each neighbourhood and recommend what to try. Tastings are generous but designed to let you sample breadth rather than depth. The route is relatively flat and manageable for most fitness levels, though you should wear comfortable shoes.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant. Public transport stops are nearby if you need to leave early. Bring cash—some partner shops prefer it. Tours typically run year-round; book ahead in peak season.
