Florence market plus

Jo_B, Apr 2024

Stephano was a great guide. The tripe sandwich was a little out of the box but my husband loved it and it was fun to try.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

It's great to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Stefano! Trying something out of the box like a tripe sandwich can definitely be an adventure, and it sounds like your husband was pleasantly surprised. It's all part of the fun and exploration of new flavors! See you for more fun in Venice, Rome, Naples, Catania or Palermo! Hugs from the Streaty team

Tuscan Food Tour

Gilman_W, Nov 2023

Alice was a fantastic guide. Took us to a food market serving authentic Tuscan meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Tried lampredottato which was tasty but it may not for everyone. Gave an informative tour around the neighborhood of Santa Croce. Very friendly host. Enjoyed it immensely and highly recommended for all foodies.
