The itinerary runs through the center of the city so while you taste the city's most traditional recipes, you can stroll through the historic areas and admire the beauty of the city itself.
Our tour is a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way for showing local culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend.

5.00Gonzalo was a great guide—easygoing, super knowledgeable, and clearly loves what he does. He shared just enough history and local insight to keep things interesting without overdoing it. The food and drink stops were all amazing, and everything felt really well thought out. A fun night with good people, good stories, and incredible bites. Highly recommend!
