Our first time visiting Naples and Serena did a fantastic job sharing her enthusiasm and love of her city while explaining and guiding us through the colorful chaos that makes Naples! Serena answered our questions and discussed various topic points brought up during our tour. We are ALREADY sharing her info with friends traveling to Naples this fall!

Our tour in Naples was fabulous. My husband and I met Roberto, our tour guide, and we had a walking tour through the heart of Naples, through Piazza’s, Parks, and Government buildings, the beautiful Theatre, centuries old buildings, neighborhoods and side streets, as well as learning the History of Naples as we went along. It was fascinating! Roberto Introduced us to vendors and provided the opportunity to see how the local residents live, where they gather, shop and eat. We would have never seen what we did or learn so much about Naples - Napoli on our own. Roberto was a wonderful Host, we were sad to leave him. We felt so lucky. I heartily recommend this tour and Roberto for anyone who wants a really fabulous enriched experience. MORE THAN 5 STARS!!

The walking tour was great. Learned a lot about the history of Bologna and the present as well. Andrea was informative, funny and introduced us to some cured meats that we had not tried before. A nice way to spend the morning.

Tastes of Pisa: Street Food, Wine and Sweet Tradition

Begin beneath the arch in Pisa’s bustling food square. From a family bakery, try a slice of cecina—chickpea flatbread crisp at the edges, soft in the middle. Served warm and wrapped in paper, it’s Pisa’s quiet obsession, eaten any time of day.

Pecorino Toscano and Lardo Cone

Tastes of Pisa: Street Food, Wine and Sweet Tradition

Step into a rustic deli for a cone packed with regional flavor. Sharp Pecorino meets melting slices of lardo, cured in marble caves. Simple and rich, this bite is salty, silky, and deeply rooted in Tuscany’s food heritage.

Whether it’s crisp Vermentino or floral rosato, your host will guide you to a casual wine spot. You might stand at the counter or take your glass outside. The pour is small, the flavor regional, and the moment pure Pisa.

Tastes of Pisa: Street Food, Wine and Sweet Tradition

At a forno or neighborhood deli, try crostino nero—warm bread topped with a rich, herbal chicken liver spread. It’s made in small batches and eaten standing. This deeply traditional snack connects past and present with every bite.

Gelato or Torta co’ Bischeri

End sweet with a scoop or a pastry rooted in tradition

Tastes of Pisa: Street Food, Wine and Sweet Tradition

Choose your final taste: a scoop of seasonal gelato—perhaps ricotta and fig—or a slice of Pisa’s own torta co’ bischeri. This humble pastry of chocolate, rice, pine nuts, and spice reflects local feasts and family recipes still alive today.

Your FAQs

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?

No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your experience will still go ahead, and your host will adapt the day to suit the conditions. One of the great things about City Unscripted is that no two experiences are the same, and your host knows the city well enough to find great “rainy day” alternatives.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
