A shopping walk through the food shops and the old indoor market where locals actually buy, tasting salumi, cheese, fresh pasta, wine and gelato and hearing what to do with them at home. The guiding is what you pay for: you settle for every taste yourself, and it runs in English only. 4.7 from 40 reviews at €42 per person for 2h.
