What to expect

Your guide meets you and navigates you through the bustling market squares, stopping at different vendors. You'll taste your way through several products—expect small portions designed to let you sample without overloading. The guide talks through origins and techniques between tastings, making it educational rather than rushed. You'll finish with a glass of wine and coffee. The pace is leisurely; you're walking but not strenuously, and stops are frequent enough that anyone can manage comfortably.
