Explore the layered history and stunning architecture of the old town with a private expert local guide. Hidden courtyards, Baroque churches, artisan workshops, and centuries of storytelling await behind every door.
What to expect
Your guide meets you at the port and leads you through medieval lanes that most visitors never find, past palaces with stories carved into their facades and hidden piazzas buzzing with local life. You'll step into a Baroque church for a quiet, guided contemplation of its frescoes, then visit a working artisan studio where centuries-old craft traditions are still very much alive. The tour is conversational, flexible, and richly contextualised — history, art, food, and local character woven together into a seamless narrative. It concludes with a coffee at the guide's favourite local café, invariably not on any tourist map.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes — old-town cobblestones can be uneven. The tour covers approximately 3–4 km on foot. Pre-book at least 1–2 weeks ahead to secure your preferred guide. Morning slots (09:00–12:00) offer cooler temperatures and quieter streets. The port to old-town transfer is typically 10–15 minutes on foot or by taxi.
