Great way to see Florence and taste lots of local specialties! - This was such a fun tour and well worth the money. Our guide Lucy was great, very engaging and informative. We had plenty to eat and drink throughout the tour and definitely visited some spots we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. A very “local” look at the Florence food scene. Highly recommend!!!!

Florence food tour - We went on the walking food tour on a Monday evening with Irene. Irene was a really GREAT tour guide she was very knowledgeable about the food dishes and the wines she presented to us. As someone who like to hear about history, Irene at each spot gave us a run down of the food as well as some of the history in the areas we visited. We visited 5 locations with one being really good Gelato! I definitely recommend this tour and especially with Irene!

A delicious way to spend the afternoon! - This was an amazing experience. My daughter and I joined this tour. I did not realize that "Private Food Tour" meant that I selected the 'up to 15 attendees'. So, it was literally only my daughter and myself, which, was totally fine. (This was simply an oversite on my part, but if you want a large group, just be mindful of what you are booking). Our guide was from Pisa and group up in the Tuscany region. She was FULL of knowledge, was so helpful and guided us with our Italian language. She knew not only about the food, she also knew about the history, the buildings we passed and recommended various sites to check out. There was SO much food, please be ready to eat and drink, and taste everything, it makes the experience much better, plus, it's respectful. We loved this tour and would recommend this to others. Thank you for providing excellent service and care.

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!
