We&#39;ll begin by savoring Buccellato, a typical sweet bread with ancient origins, made with simple ingredients and an authentic flavor. Next, we&#39;ll try Cecina, a thin focaccia made with chickpea flour, water, salt, and olive oil—soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, a must-try regional classic. We&#39;ll also sample Tordelli, a stuffed pasta dish that&#39;s a local specialty, and sample the famous Tuscan cold cuts, accompanied by a glass of local wine. During the tour, we&#39;ll walk along historic walls, explore charming squares, and admire unique attractions, such as towers with hanging gardens of centuries-old trees. To finish, we&#39;ll indulge in a delicious artisanal gelato, making the experience even more memorable. A tour that combines authentic flavors, history, and charm at every step.
