Guidekin's take

A walk through the centre with a food loving guide that stops at three local shops to meet the owners, with tastings and a glass of wine along the way.

Allergies must be flagged in advance because nothing can be swapped on the day, hotel pickup is not included, and the tour needs two guests to run. 4.62 from 82 reviews for 3h.

In our comparison: #16 of 16 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
