What to expect
Expect a steady pace through compact medieval streets, stopping frequently to eat and listen. The guide will point out architectural details and historical layers—Roman, medieval, Renaissance—while you taste small portions of street food at different spots. You'll navigate cobblestones and some narrow passages; the group stays together. Tastings are modest portions meant to introduce flavours rather than replace a meal. Allow downtime at main piazzas for photos and breathing room.
