Tour details

This tour can be customized to any itinerary you desire. The walk may include more than one district and of course, a visit to a museum or one or more churches. It can be enriched with a visit to a typical Carnival mask shop, to an artisan workshop or with a food tour with stops in a “bacàro” (small inn/bar) to taste the so-called “ombre” (small servings of wine) and “cicheti” (local tapas).
