Pisa Traditional Food Tour

"Mistakes are necessary, as useful as bread and often beautiful: for example the tower of Pisa"

 

Gianni Rodari described this way the main monument of Pisa, the Leaning Tower, center of the complex formed by the Baptistery and the Cathedral. This square was defined by D'Annunzio as a "Field of Miracles" and was proclaimed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987 .

 

Pisa claims a millenary history, which reached its peak in the Middle Ages at the time of the Maritime Republics, when the Tuscan city fought over the domination of the Mediterranean with Venice, Amalfi and Genoa.

 

Tuscany and Pisa have always been synonymous with rich and fine food and there are many and varied aspects of the city that you can discover with our food and wine tour.

 

Along with the locals, who live the city every day; we will take you to the city's most popular and historic places and we will make you try the real "pisano" taste and flavours: starting from the typical rural tuscan salamis and cheeses, to the traditional focaccia "cecina" (from italian “ceci”: chickpeas), to conclude with an ice cream in one of the historical ice-cream stores in the city
