What to expect
Your guide—a working cook from the Le Cesarine network—will meet you and head straight into the tight streets where locals actually shop. You'll duck into family-run delis and bakeries, the kind that don't advertise much. At each stop, you'll taste something specific: a savoury bite, then something sweet. Between shops, your guide points out the neighbourhood as you walk, not lecturing but chatting. It's leisurely paced with proper breathing room between tastings. By the end, you've covered maybe a kilometre on foot and eaten enough to understand how Viareggio eats.
Good to know
