Follow your guide to an enoteca, or local wine shop, to swirl and sip two Tuscan blends, complemented by regional cheeses and meats. Complete the first part of your tour with a visit to one of the city’s best gelaterias, where you’ll please your sweet tooth with a delicious helping of Italian ice cream.

Afterward, wander through the San Lorenzo Market, learning some of the secrets behind fresh Florentine ingredients and recipes. Treat your taste buds to high-end olive oils with crostini, toasted Italian bread, and sweet balsamic vinegars.

Good tour guide. Ok places

Shawn_K, Apr 2024

We had a great experience with our tour guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would’ve liked to see a little bit more about cheeses and cured meats like visiting a slim Mary, and or cheese shop. Overall good experience but via could do a little bit better with the Places we visited.

Lots of delicious food!

Suzanne_C, Jan 2024

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.

Very informative and personable food/beverage tour

Lana_H, Nov 2023

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

One of the best travel experiences!

Andre_G, Nov 2023

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

fabulous tour

Our favorite experience in Florence. Guido was so knowledgeable and friendly, he made us feel like good friends. The food samplings were delicious, truly a taste of Florence!

So fun!

Ginger_F, Oct 2023

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!

Great Food!

Experienced culinary secrets of Florence

Howard_K, Oct 2023

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.

A close up experience of Florence

David_D, Oct 2023

5 different stops during a very interesting and fun adventure. Veronica, our guide was humorous, knowledgeable and very passionate about Florentine cuisine. I learned a lot especially about the various qualities of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. We went back to one of the stops for a full dinner the next evening. Grazie mille Veronica.

Great introduction to a fabulous city

DOMINICK_S, Sep 2023

Great taster session of the fabulous food & sights of this amazing city!! Definitely recommend it to anyone with an inquisitive nature…

We thought Veronica did a...

Amanda_R, Sep 2023

We thought Veronica did a great job. She was very enthusiastic and great fun. We loved everything we tried. Thank you.

Disappointed

Barb_M, Sep 2023

The food we were given was just bread! Bread with different spreads or olive oil or cheese, etc. Pasta and bread. We did not learn anything special about the food of Florence. We have gone on several food tours in Italy, and this was a disappointment.

Outstanding food and walk tour with Nadia

Dan_M, Sep 2023

Our tour guide Nadia was outstanding, taking us around old Florence city and giving us fantastic insights in to its history . Nadia made the tour come alive . The food and wine tastings were exquisite. Very authentic and top quality. I highly recommend this tour.

What feels like a truly authentic Florntine food experience

Itamar_H, Sep 2023

The tour was just great, Brian showed us to really great places that we never would have found otherwise. Everything was delicious and fun, he also had a lot to give about the history of the city. Thanks Brian!!

All the good things!

Leslie_R, Sep 2023

We walked around and tried so many of the local favorites. Some I never would have thought to order myself but absolutely loved! They gave us a card of all the locations so we could go back and order more :)

Walk, talk and eat in Florence

John_B, Sep 2023

What a great way to spend a late afternoon walk, talk, and eat. CJ our tour guide was fantastic. Explained everything we were eating. We were able to sit and enjoy everything we were sampling. Beyond 10 Great great time.

Disappointing

Megan_B, Sep 2023

To be a food tour it was pretty underwhelming. Had a few stops with a snack along the way, and ended with a mediocre pasta dish we could make at home. Not sure why the reviews are rated so highly, I would say it was not worth the price.

Enjoyed seeing the sites...

Lynn_M, Aug 2023

Enjoyed seeing the sites and sampling the foods. We enjoyed our guide and meeting other travelers. We would recommend to others.
