The charming coastal town of Tropea offers several well-organized guided experiences worth your time and money. The historic walking tours stand out, taking you through centuries-old streets while explaining the Greek and Roman influences. I’m especially fond of the culinary workshops, where passionate local nonnas teach traditional pizza and bread making in small-group settings – perfect for hands-on learners. The city tours are refreshingly intimate, maxing out at 8-10 people, which means better access to your guide’s local knowledge. These are our favorite guided experiences in Tropea, from cooking classes to cultural walks.
