10/10! Host, Dilara was so kind, attentive, and informative. Those who had bad stomachs (me 🫣) or special diet (vegetarian) were accommodated. She was educational and spread out the food and history lessons so you didn’t get too full throughout. Recommend to wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking.

Tasting of typical Floretine foods in non touristy spots. Especially enjoyed the informative tasting experience of Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, truffles, and pistachio cream. The authentic Gelato tasting was a delightful end to this tour. Our guide also gave historic significance of foods and places we walked through. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide Aurora was joyful and interesting. We tasted lots of local foods that we wouldn’t think to taste in places we wouldn’t find. There was a good variety of foods and sweets. It is well worth the money, we were satiated and satisfied

We had a great experience. Our guide was lovely and knowledgeable. I wish it were cooler weather though!

We’ve done quite a few food tours over the years and the tour with Marilisa was just perfect! We weren’t sure what to expect as this tour was so much more affordable than many of the other Florence food tours that we looked at it, but we were not disappointed. We tried locally made foods from traditional vendors and had a great time, learning about he food and Florence history at the same time. We had cantucci (almond biscotti), coccoli (salty, delicious fried dough balls with cheese and ham), olive oil, balsamic vinegar, truffle oils, freshly made pasta (4 types), cold meats and cheeses and gelato (and I’ve probably left something out!). Marilisa took care to ensure we could all hear her explanations, she made sure we had shade (it was a very hot day), she told interesting stories and we loved it! Grazie Marilisa

Catarina was youthful, knowledgeable and fun to take this tour with... she made sure everyone enjoyed it and it was a GREAT value for the money pod. We saw tons of Florence and learned a bunch about the food and specialties. So fun seeing the local market. Would recommend to anyone coming!
