What to expect
Your guide will lead you through cobbled streets lined with 16th-century stone buildings, explaining the craft guilds and noble families that built these towns. Expect plenty of walking across uneven terrain and steep plazas—comfortable shoes essential. The pottery workshop gives you a genuine sense of how artisans still work using traditional methods. At a local oil producer, you'll taste several olive oils with guidance on how flavour varies by harvest time and variety. The pace allows for photography and questions, but there's genuine ground to cover.
Good to know
Bring water and sun protection; few shaded rest spots between sites. Lunch isn't included—ask your guide for restaurant recommendations that locals actually visit. Cobblestones and stairs make buggies tricky in town centres, though accessible routes exist.
