A private walk of the centre with a certified guide taking in the arcades that carry the Unesco listing and the Basilica of San Petronio, with a city map and tasting vouchers handed over at the start. The vouchers are yours to spend later rather than a guided tasting, and San Petronio asks for covered shoulders and knees. 4.55 at €130 per person.
