in the belly of Florence - A delightful morning stroll through Florence's culinary delights! Luca led us charmingly and wittily, sharing lots of information about the city as we went from one spot to the next. If you don't book this tour with Luca, you're missing out! ❤️

Florence Food & Wine Tour - Luca was a fantastic guide able to be passionate and personal about his home city of Florence! He showed us some of his favorite food spots, was knowledgeable about the history of the city, and was easy to have a conversation with. He single handedly improved our time here in Florence!

You must take this tour! Incredible! - We loved this tour so much!!
We came to Florence with a group of 17 girls... Because of the big size of the group we were looking for an experience where we could both learn, enjoy and taste some local wines in the city for a couple of hours!
The places they took us were just incredible! We could have never found the local taverns without this tour.. Never!
Chiara and Marta were incredible tour guides, so passionate, knowledgable and engaging that we learnt so much!
It was definitely the best choice of our stay!
Highly recommended
Thank you so much!

Best local history sites and food tour of Firenze - We were with a group of friends from the Netherlands visiting Firenze. We wanted to get to know the historical part of the city and the good food of Firenze as well. The tour guide, Luca, was very kind, told us all about the churches, palazzo's, musea etc. He could answer all our questions and was funny as well. He has a good vibe, and made sure we understood everything. The food was really good as well, local and cozy. Recommend it a lot!!
