Small cobble streets, sea air and a chocolaty dessert – you can expect all three on this tour. From Tropea, you'll head to Pizzo and make your way down to the Piedigrotta cave-church, where faith and folklore are carved straight into the rock. Back in town, you'll wander Pizzo's old streets on a guided tour, pausing for stories and photo opportunities at coastal viewpoints. Then comes the sweet part, a live Tartufo di Pizzo demo and tasting. After you've had your fill of this chocolate truffle treat, you're free to wander and settle into Calabria at your own pace.

Did not like the first part of trip to the church, but the second part was good.

The tour guide barely spoke English so we didn't really know what was going on or what she was talking about. We had to keep asking her what she'd said, she was friendly enough but it was frustrating. There was no guided tour of Pizzo, just a walk from the coach to the main square & being pointed out the castle. There was no Tartufo demo, we were just sat in a cafe & served one.

Die Tour sollt mind. eine 1/2 Stunde länger sein - es war recht gehetzt. In der Grotte hätte es noch Zeit gebraucht. Und aus Zeitmangel konnten wir auch die Kirche mit wenigstens kurzer Führung gar nicht besichtigen. € 45,00 sind ein wenig viel - aber grundsätzlich war es eine nette und interessante Tour.

Diese Veranstaltung hätte man sich komplett sparen können, und das liegt nicht daran, dass wir aufgrund eines Falschparker eineinhalb Stunden festgesetzt sind.

...eine Live-Vorführung und Verkostung des Tartufo di Pizzo. Nachdem Sie sich an den Schokoladentrüffeln satt gegessen haben... So wurde es angeboten. Es gab aber keine Live-Vorführung und von satt essen kann man nicht sprechen. Kleine übersichtliche Portion, lieblos angeboten.
