Stephano was a great guide. The tripe sandwich was a little out of the box but my husband loved it and it was fun to try.

It was amazing to see taste and see what the locals eat! Our tour guide awesome. Besides the food she talked to us a little bit about the historical sights we went by.

We just finished our food tour with Stefano - and this was so much more than just a food tour. First of all- the food was unique. I was expecting something different but we were treated to fun and different foods at each stop. More importantly - Stefano shared the history and origin of the foods and how they fit into the culture. I sincerely felt how much he enjoyed his job and what he wanted us to experience on this excursion. I would highly recommend this tour and this guide.

Fabulous tour with Alice. Eat like a local and get a culinary guided tour of the city. Pick fresh produce from the market and have it freshly prepared ready to eat outside. Alice took us to very local places and we really enjoyed going where we wouldnt have necessarily gone to ourselves. Alice told us the history of the food we were eating/drinking and the people who prepared it for us. A fun and informative tour, highly recommend.

Stefano was wonderful and took us on a great food tour of Street Food of Florence. History paired with beautiful places to see in Florence and a wide variety of tasty treats. Highly recommended. Be sure to go and go hungry.

Alice was a fantastic guide. Took us to a food market serving authentic Tuscan meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Tried lampredottato which was tasty but it may not for everyone. Gave an informative tour around the neighborhood of Santa Croce. Very friendly host. Enjoyed it immensely and highly recommended for all foodies.

Absolutely amazing tour. Alice was our tour guide and she was astonishing, kind, and helpful. So knowledgeable about all things Florence and beyond, which included more than just food. Our tour took us to a market and had the most amazing fresh foods picked from the stands and prepared for us in the open air. Then we ate at a street cart, visited a panini shop for cocolli, and rounded out the tour with gelato! And some Chianti of course. No question was left unanswered and we had the best time. Worth every euro! And just to make it clear…Alice is the BEST!!

The very first thing I want to say is that ALICE OUR TOUR GUIDE WAS AMAZING!!! She started off the tour by saying she was planning to take us around Florence as if we were her close friends and she was personally taking us to see the places that she loves and regularly goes. And she truly made good on that promise! There were only 6 of us in the group, 3 couples, so it was very intimate and felt like a very personal experience. As we got to know Alice, it was clear that she loves Florence (having grown up here) and she had such a passion for the places we were visiting and the work that she was doing. She showed us some amazing foods that are well-known as must-try dishes in Florence - we particularly loved the cinghiale (wild boar) and the lampredotto sandwich!! She was so fun and knowledgeable, and we all had such a great time thanks to her. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!! It was a really lovely experience.

We loved our Streaty Food Tour with Alice! We tasted a variety of foods from local eateries including coccoli, wines, cheeses and meats, local foods we wouldn't have tasted and of course, gelato! Alice was knowledgeable, kind and fun to tour with. All four of us enjoyed tasting the foods and learning about them and the local culture. The price of the tour was more than fair. It was a delightful experience! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Stefano! The food and the stories were amazing, the wine was great too. We had a very small but cosy group so interactions were very easy. Highly recommend!!
