Fun activity in Florence - I had a great time. Our guide was Marilisa D. She was wonderful… very friendly and knowledgeable about food of this region. She kindly offered to take photos of us at the various stops. I thought there was plenty of food and I enjoyed it all. My favorite stops were the first one with the bruschetta and wine, and the wine window! We enjoyed getting to know the other couples. Great night!

Food, wine, and background of Oltrano (the other Florence). - Most memorable was Jessica, our guide, who gave us just the right amount of background and history to compliment our culinary experience. Very rare Florentine steak may dismay some Americans.
