Wonderful introduction to Tuscan delights!
Lisa_P, Mar 2024
Fillippa was amazing! She was very personable and knowledgeable, and she introduced us to some very delicious foods, and gave us great recommendations for other places to try. It was just two of us on the tour with her (me and a friend of mine) and we thoroughly enjoyed! There was plenty of food, but very well spread out, with perfect serving sizes. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Thank you very much for so kind words, it was a pleasure to meet you :-)!
You can find this with another company, Mgmt is super rude.

Tour coordinator was the most rude person to interact with on the entire 2 week trip - our inbound train was delayed and we were about 20-30 behind schedule and asked to simply join the group wherever they were. The actual tour guide finally did reach out with their location after about 20 minutes for us to meet them, but whoever is responsible for managing/arranging everything through the chat was beyond rude. I'd say find a different tour, nothing against the actual in-person guide (just the management).
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Dear Tiffan, we really regret that you were unable to participate in the tour due to the train delay, but all our staff made every effort to let you reach the group. The problem was that you have not show up at the meeting point at 17.00 and you were not reachable - we were calling and texting you several times. The guide was waiting for you with other participants for 20 minutes but we still didn't hear from you, so we started the tour. You called us only at 17.22 to say that your train was delayed and you have just arrived at the train station (15 minutes far from the meeting point). We made an exception for you as we really wanted you to participate in the tour and the guide agreed to share with you the position via Whatsapp, but you were not able to find the group because you were loosing data and you became more and more frustrated and angry with us. We even shared with you the list of the food spots were our group was supposed to be but you didn't reach any of this place, you send us a rude message and then you switch off your mobile. As you can see, we did all our best to help you, we were waiting for you, sharing location, calling, texting and now we are reading that we were rude only because you are angry that you have missed the tour...Unfortunatley there were other punctual guests waiting for you that were loosing their patiance. It's very sad and disappointing as we love our job and always do our best to satisfy our Customers.
Great Food Tour. I have to return to the market!
Cheryl_M, Oct 2023
This tour turned out to be a private tour for me and my mom! Our guide Serena was great! This was was second time visiting Florence and I had no idea I was close to a food market! What a find! Great opporunity to taste delicious pasta and sample truffle oil. The gelateria was also very good, much better than one I had visited the day prior to the tour. Serena was very personable and friendly. She even suggested a luggage store for my mom to visit as she was searching for a suitable bag to carry on the plane. I would definitely recommend Serena for any food tour.
Locals foods only! Loved it all
Ryan_G, Oct 2023
Sando was amazing. He has a true passion for food and it shows! We started at a city market, which to me was crowded but he said it gets shoulder to shoulder at popular dining times so we were lucky. Sando purchased fresh florentine style foods for us to try, which if I am being honest I probably should have passed right over. He knew a lot of the local vendors in the market and got us samples of food that are not normally included on the tour. We walked through Florence for a bit and he showed us an incredible “sandwich shop” where they make/grow/pro reds all the ingredients at their family farm outside of town, including the bread, cheese, meats, and veggies. I am not normally a sandwich gal, but I rave about them. We will definitely be going back to that place before we leave town!
Great Tour

Such a great tour! Sylvio was amazing! Very knowledgeable and knew all the good food spots. And not the instagram popular spots all the hidden little gems in Florence that have been around for centuries.

A nice simple tour of the San Lorenzo market. The tour guide was very nice, if a little quiet. Overall, a good opportunity to learn about Florentine foods.
