Gerace town tour with tasting session of local products

4.4/5
85 reviews

Officially one of Italy's prettiest towns, Gerace definitely deserves all the attention it can get. And on this full day tour you'll travel to this photogenic Medieval town for a walking tour and a tasting of products with bergamot – the green gold of Calabria.

After being picked up from your hotel you'll head deep into Calabria and climb the hills towards the medieval town of Gerace. From the top, you'll have views that extend all the way to the Ionian Sea and towards the Aspromonte mountains in the distance. Then, once you've captured the view, you'll hop on a mini-train to the centre of town for a walking tour.

There were once over one hundred churches here, but now you'll only see a select few, as well as other historic sites like the Byzantine castle. It's also the ideal setting for growing bergamot oranges, known as the green gold of Calabria, and you'll get to taste a few products that contain it before returning to your hotel.

    Only 6 English-speaking on tour and guide spoke non-stop all the way, but in German. She pointed out the villages, information and history in German. She repeatedly told us that she would give English account later and we had a very brief account in English. The guide had made us sit in a specific seat (which obscured our view). We mis-understood meeting point and she left without us causing us deep concern; finally she tried to make us walk (we are infirm and 82) down steep hill to coach

    Reise war sehr gut organisiert. Der Busfahrer fuhr sehr sicher durch die Berge. Die Reiseleitung Regina war top! Hat uns viel über die Geschichte Kalabriens erzählt, sie organisierte für uns ein Mittagessen in einem netten Lokal( wer wollte). Auch die Fahrt mit der kleinen Bahn vom Parkplatz nach oben in die Stadt war sehr schön. Diese Reise mit Regina ist nur zu empfehlen!

    Das angebotene Mittagessen für uns auf Selbstzahlerbasis war enttäuschend. Qualität und Angebot auf Kantinenniveau.
