On this express 50-minute tour, enjoy a private demonstration and the unique chance to assist in fishing using centuries-old traditional methods. Then, indulge in a tasting of local products.

One of a kind experience. Chance to try traditional fishing in Trabucco as it was in ancient times, long before tourism and technology.
