Paolo was a fantastic guide, taking us to wonderful culinary experiences with the freshest ingredients. He also pointed out unique sights of Florence as we walked. The artisan gelato was a highlight and we've already been back for more. Do it.

My daughter & I thoroughly enjoyed this walking food tour. Paulo was very informative and friendly. He spoke English very well that made it easier for us to understand each of our food stops. We liked the good mix of foods we experienced as there were many different and delicious foods we tasted. My top 3 favorites were the biscotti, the foods at the Farmers Market, and the homemade gelato. The walk was the perfect distance.

The food tour with Paulo was fantastic! He was a wonderful guide full of information about the history, architecture, culture, and of course, cuisine of Firenze. We had such a great time with the whole group and left very full and happy. We chose a morning option and made great stops at restaurants, cafes, a market, etc. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

The tour was amazing! A great introduction to the city. Lorenzo went above and beyond, giving us all sorts of food information as well as information about the history of the Florence. All of the food was very good, and it was a great way to try foods that I wouldn’t have known to try. Lorenzo also gave suggestions of other places to eat while in Florence, specifically tailored to where I was going to be in the city at different times. I can’t recommend highly enough!

Luckily, we were the only ones who signed up this day, so we had Lorenzo’s attention all to ourselves. He definitely catered to our dietary restrictions as pescatarians, which we appreciated very much. Moreover, Lorenzo shared his knowledge of the local food and wine of Florence and the Tuscany region, and that made our tour experience that much more engaging. We learned about how to taste and appreciate all the different bites along with how to truly taste and appreciate the accompanying wine. Highest accolades to Lorenzo - be sure to book with him for your next tour!

We enjoyed our tour in Florence. We were able to experience new foods and loved the market and street vendor experience.

Lorenzo was terrific and we stopped at authentic places I would have never seen. The food was amazing and even tried something I would have NEVER tried on my own lol. I even learned how to tell the ‘good’ gelato from the fake ( chemicals et al) Thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed walking around the beauty of Florence

This was the best foodie walking tour we have taken of over a dozen around the world! Marilisa was knowledgeable, organized and friendly. It was very clear she enjoys these tours and wanted to create a wonderful experience . The food stops were as described by tour operator, food plentiful and delicious. The secret stop was a real treat! We were in a group of fun and friendly travelers from around the globe which enhanced this nearly 4 hour tour. Highly recommend

brucehuynh13

Wow, Lorenzo was such an amazing guide, so knowledgeable about so many diverse things and such an interesting and wonderful person in general! All of us in the ground and Lorenzo were talking about so many different things like wine, food, history, geography, theater, chemistry, and it all felt so natural. The food and drinks were also so delicious! We never would have found them without the tour. Lorenzo even spent some time helping me practice my rusty Italian and I am so very grateful for that. My wife and I had the best time! We've done a few secret food tours and we will continue to do so for our future trips!

Leslie_D

Lorenzo our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable plus gave us a wonderful cross section of a few available foods in Florence. Would highly recommend it!
