Your Itinerary

Piazza della Signoria

Begin your foodie adventure in Piazza della Signoria, one of the best piazzas in Florence. Widely known as an outdoor art gallery, Piazza della Signoria is home to many sculptures and art vendors. Here, you will be able to spot Palazzo Vecchio, a beautiful palace dating back to the time of the Medici family. You can also spot a copy of Michelangelo’s David here. Your guide will introduce you to the Florence foodie scene, and off you go.

Budellino

On your first stop, visit Via dei Neri, a Florentine known specifically for its food. The street is lined with dozens of panino shops, all with freshly cured meats and delicious cheeses. During lunch time, this street is filled with hungry travelers and Florentines waiting for a good meal. Stop at a local shop for aperitivo, meaning a quick bite before dinner time. Taste some ribollita, bruschetta and local samples of meats and cheeses. Wash it all down with some delicious vino.

Ponte Vecchio

Walk toward the Arno River and see Florence’s most famous and colorful bridge. The Ponte Vecchio centuries ago used to be the hot spot for fishmongers, butchers and the like to barter and sell their goods. Now, you’ll find the bridge lined mainly with jewelers. Cross over the bridge to access to Oltrarno area, a neighborhood more populated with locals than tourists.

DiVin Boccone

A trip to Tuscany is not complete without some fine wine. At a local wine shop, taste delicious pairings of wine, with some local samplings of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. And if you like what you’re tasting, feel free to buy a bottle to share with your family and friends at home.

Osteria Toscanella

Now, the main event. Sit down to a delicious dinner that will top off your entire Florence food tour experience. In a serene trattoria, enjoy a mouth-watering dinner starting out with a real Tuscan Ribollita. Then, enjoy a savory plate of Florentine steak, a juicy and tender cut of beef. It’s served rather rare, but not to worry, it’s delicious. Concluding the meal you'll enjoy local delicious cantucci and vinsanto.

Piazza Santo Spirito

Get a glimpse of another one of Florence’s quaint piazzas. Piazza Santo Spirito is a hub of local Florentine culture. During the day, you can catch local markets or musicians performing in this area. This side of the Arno is home to some of the best bakeries in Florence.

We had a fantastic time on the tour. Our guide Eleanora was absolutely wonderful, as she shared so much information about the wine, the food, and Florence in general. We all felt like we were experiencing the area with a friend, not just with a hired guide.

Ron_W

Manny was an incredible guide. Fantastic food at each stop. The main meal at the lady stop was exceptional!!

Our tour guide Teddy was fantastic. Her knowledge of the history and architecture of Florence coupled with her exuberance for food and wine pairings made the tour exceptional!

FabulousTL

Waited a bit before the guide showed up without the Tour Guy flag we were looking for. We thought we had the details wrong about meeting location. A bit stressful. Lori was pleasant and a bit knowledgeable. She wasn't local to the area for that long. The walking was easy. The restaurants were nice and we were seated in a separate area so we could converse together. The food in each location was delicious. Not the best to be had in Florence but certainly a nice variety. We saw wonderful buildings along the way.

Thomas B

A group of eight of us waited 1/1/24 under the horse statue in Florence for nearly an hour and no guide showed up to lead the tour. We had no communication with the company before the tour to warn us there was a problem. We’ve had no one from the company contact us since yesterday evening. We’ve had American Express dispute the charge.

Deborah V

Our guide, Theodora, was fantastic. She brought us to several wonderful spots with explanations of the food, culture and sights we were surrounded by. She shared wonderful recommendations for our next few days with us. The food and the wine were delicious. We would do it all over again.

Joseph_Z

Florence is an amazing place to visit and this tour not only gave us a chance to try local food and wine but also to learn about the city. Theodora our guide was great!! She was so knowledgeable about the city! It was a pleasure to have her guide us! I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Theodora!!

Ben_F

We had three stops and the first two were VERY disappointing with 2 small mediocre pastas at one, and the other had liver pate which was fiair and a verfy disappointing bean soup. Portions tiny. The third stop was great with plenty of food, excellent steak, Vin Santo, a repeat of the bean soup with a larger portion and very good tasting. The guide was pleasant, but gave no information about the food. I would trhy a different company next time.

Simon_M

Was at the meeting place from 1630 to 17.15. No one identified as The Roman Guy to be seen anywhere. Called the number given twice but “Due to high call activity” no one was available to help. Reported it that night. No response. Scam? Have contacted my credit card to request a refund

Julie_H

It was very fun. Met some great people and our guide was knowledgeable. Nice to be able to see sights as well.
