Francesca was an excellent tour guide. She was very informative about Florence in general as well as the establishments we visited and foods we tasted. We sampled a wide variety of foods as well as visiting the Central Market.

All the wonderful information Martino shared was fabulous! He was so friendly, knowledgable, spoke great English and made the tour very enjoyable! Would recommend.

Andre_G

Our family had a wonderful time on the food tour. Every spot was tastefully chosen and we would’ve never found such great food simply wandering around on our own. On top of that our guide, Veronica, was an excellent and lovely person who made us feel right at home in Florence! 10/10

This was a fun walk through Florence. Benedetta took us for local foods, local wines and local places like the Market. She is from Florence, so very knowledgeable. She was friendly too. We really enjoyed this and thought it was a great value!

CJ was an excellent tour guide and very accommodating for 2 people in our group that have gluten and dairy sensitivities. She has great energy and passion to share Firenze with you. We enjoyed the walk around Firenze and learning more about how the foods originated. There were multiple stops and favorite places such as the food market, pasticceria, enoteca, and gelateria. Make sure you take water with you. It is not provided at each stop. This tour would be a great way to start your visit in Firenze.

Debbie_H

Excellent time! Highly recommended! Our guide, Guido was the best! This was a really nice tour of Florence

Howard_K

Our guide was experienced and knowledgeable and she allowed us to move from place to place at our pace. We never felt rushed. She introduced us to small venues for wine tasting food sampling, most of which we probably would not have found on our own. We enjoyed every moment of this tour, which we highly recommend to others.
