You will then visit Borgo Teresiano and spot Piazza della Borsa and the theater dedicated to the worldwide famous Giuseppe Verdi.
Walk through the pictoresque Canal Grande and continue your visit to the Tergesteo until you reach the elegant Palazzo Gopcevich and Palazzo Scaramagnà.
Enter Piazza Ponterosso, the heart of the ancient Borgo Teresiano and walk thorugh Via San Nicolò.

This Tour is definitely worth it!
This highlight helps to get familiar with walking in Trieste. Trieste is a walkable city but taking this tour helps to get familiar with the many narrow streets.

Interesting tour
My late mother was born in Vienna, so I am interested in all history pertaining to the Hapsburg Empire, which is why I chose this tour. I was not disappointed. Esther was a wonderful guide. I had just come off of an escorted group tour. By coincidence, Esther was also the guide for a walking tour of Jewish sites of interest in Trieste that I had with my group tour three days earlier. The two walking tours complimented each other nicely.

Thumbs up to this service. Will use it again for any future trips.
Can I give more than 5 stars? After oversleeping and missing our pickup time, this gentleman contacted me to see if I wanted to just go later than the original plan. That worked out perfectly because we were in the process of walking to the pickup point to see if we could see a group that we could join up with. I found out we had booked a private tour, so he modified the schedule to see whatever we wanted within the time we had left. We only had a short time in Trieste to explore what the area has to offer. I'm very glad we booked this tour with Faberest and would highly recommend them.
