What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Old Town and spend the afternoon wandering its compact, winding streets. Conversation flows naturally between stops—the guide points out architectural details, street history, and local lore while you taste. At intervals you'll pause to sample wine, cheese, and prepared specialities (roughly eight tastings total). Each station includes fresh bread to cleanse the palate. The pace is leisurely; expect plenty of stops and standing time. As dusk settles, the quarter's character shifts—fewer tourists, warmer light, quieter streets. By the end, you'll know the layout and have absorbed enough local knowledge to return alone.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; the streets are steep and uneven. The tour finishes after dark, so bring a light layer. Prams and strollers are fine for infants. Public transport stops are near the meeting point. Tips and drinks beyond those included aren't part of the package.
