What to expect
You'll meet your guide in central Spoleto and spend three hours on foot, stopping at bakeries, pastry shops, and a gelato counter. Each tasting arrives fresh; guides share why each recipe matters locally. Expect narrow cobbled streets, a handful of steep sections (manageable for most), and plenty of time to chat between stops. The pistachio gelato—the tour's centrepiece—arrives as a palate-cleansing finale. This isn't rushed; you're tasting thoughtfully, not collecting photographs.
Good to know
Book ahead; groups stay small. Wear comfortable shoes for uneven medieval paving. Late morning or afternoon tours work best to avoid lunch crowds. Public transport reaches the meeting point easily. The walk involves minimal climbing but covers roughly 2 km at a stroll.
