Wonderful walking tour of Florence - Excellent walking tour through less-traveled parts of Florence, combining food and wine with architecture, art, and history. Irene our guide was amazing and full of interesting and important information. We went back to one of the restaurants we visited for a full dinner, and tried to go back to a second, but we ran out of time in our vacation in Florence.

Unforgettable Culinary Journey with Exceptional Service - From the moment we arrived, the staff took her time to truly connect with us, ensuring our experience was both personalized and memorable. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. What really stood out was how knowledgeable she was—not just about the courses they served but also about the neighborhood. She shared fascinating stories and recommendations, making our meal feel like a culinary journey through the local culture. The pacing of the meal was perfect—expedient without ever feeling rushed. Every course was thoughtfully explained, enhancing our appreciation of the flavors and ingredients. It was clear tshe was passionate about providing not just a meal, but a full experience. To top it all off, the price was incredibly reasonable for the level of care, quality, and detail we received. This tour exceeded all expectations, and we can’t wait to return!
