Exceptional tour lead by an amazing, informative guide. Chiara took us through this stunning city sharing its history, culture, food, art, architecture, anecdotes, legends and mysteries. We had an extraordinary time learning, exploring, tasting wine and food in fabulous Luca. Highly recommend this experience,

We loved this tour so much!! We came to Florence with a group of 17 girls... Because of the big size of the group we were looking for an experience where we could both learn, enjoy and taste some local wines in the city for a couple of hours! The places they took us were just incredible! We could have never found the local taverns without this tour.. Never! Chiara and Marta were incredible tour guides, so passionate, knowledgable and engaging that we learnt so much! It was definitely the best choice of our stay! Highly recommended Thank you so much!

We were with a group of friends from the Netherlands visiting Firenze. We wanted to get to know the historical part of the city and the good food of Firenze as well. The tour guide, Luca, was very kind, told us all about the churches, palazzo's, musea etc. He could answer all our questions and was funny as well. He has a good vibe, and made sure we understood everything. The food was really good as well, local and cozy. Recommend it a lot!!

Ottimo tour di Firenze con perfetta introduzione alla città. Sì visita la città da un punto di vista storico-artistico ma soprattutto culturale. La ciliegina sulla torta sono gli assaggi di prodotti tipici che rappresentano il lato enogastronomico della città. Altamente consigliato
