An enjoyable evening in great company - This was one of the highlights of my trip to Florence. By luck we had a small group which was perfect for this type of experience. Our guide Paolo was excellent. He had an extensive and wide ranging knowledge, and enjoyed answering our many food and sometimes non-food related questions.
During the evening we got to try some regional specialties, and the 'wine window' was fun. As a solo traveller it was a brilliant way to sample food & wine at a number of places, before enjoying a meal together - all in great company.

Must DO - We had a great time on this food tour. There was more wine tastings than was described (not that I was complaining). The food was great and our tour guide Marilisa was amazing. I definitely recommend this tour. The wine was good, The steak was amazing, and the gelato at the last stop was amazing.

Fun and educating - Lorenzo was entertaining and knowledgeable. Our group was small and connected well. The two stops for wine and appetizers was very good. I would have liked more choices to sample for dinner than just steak and potatoes.

I can not give a rating... - I can not give a rating at this time. We were unable to locate our guide ,even though we were in the meeting area. Its unfortunate that guide information is not provided . We saw many other guides around us with groups and each one had a distinctive paddle or flag to identify themselves.
I was not able to directly reach the tour operator to make other arrangements until the tour was well underway therefore not giving us the opportunity to meet the group somewhere or to be refunded.
