What to expect
Your host will spend time understanding your tastes before charting a route through backstreets where locals actually spend time. You'll stop at a working roastery, a neighbourhood bakery, a cheese counter, a chocolate maker, gelato shop, and market stall—sampling as you go. Between bites, you'll explore street art, pop into artist studios, and hear stories about how different neighbourhoods tick. This isn't a tick-box heritage walk; it's structured around food, art, and genuine conversation. Expect to walk and taste continuously.
