A Great Way to see the City - We had a wonderful time exploring a bit of Florence and experiencing the great little spots with Claire (cannot spell the long version of her name). She had so much knowledge about the city, the wine and the food! It was a small group and great fun to meet people from all over. I highly recommend!

Relaxed tour, great authentic food - Our guide Mara was fantastic, she took us to some great spots we otherwise would never have known about, each stop she told us all about what we were about to sample, and some history on the places and the food/wine we were enjoying.
She also pointed out other places and experiences we may want to check out.
In the vicinity.
This was a relaxed tour which felt more like a friend taking you to their favorite spots.
