Worth it - I highly recommend doing a small group or private when it’s a food tour and to do it on the first day. Our guide, Gabriel was great, has been living in Florence for 15 years and knew the smaller, quality, less touristy places to go. Besides the food, our guide gave us a nice highlight of the sites to see and advice to avoid some lines and crowds.

Rainy Day in Florence - We enjoyed our time on our tour today with Victor. He showed youthful enthusiasm and a unique perspective with food and cultural exposure. He was passionate and knowledgeable.

Best first night! Set us up to eat like Kings the rest of the trip. - First of all, this entire night was amazing. We ended up having a 1:1 experience with our guide, Yu, who was incredibly informative and curated a top notch itinerary. Every single thing we tried introduced us to traditional Tuscan dishes and set us up for things we wanted to try for the rest of the trip. Everything was delicious. The wines were also wonderful. We bought a few bottles to drink back at our airbnb. Yu has a fascinating life story and family. We thoroughly enjoyed our time learning about his life in Florence and the history he lives in every day. He was kind enough to give us great recommendations of places to eat for the rest of the time we were there. We highly recommend this tour! So glad we did it our first night there so we could eat like kings the rest of the trip.

Great guide & snacks - Eden was a great guide, showing us a few spots to eat and drink around the city. Authentic food and locations off the beaten tourist path! Absolutely worth the $ and Eden will be a friend the next time we visit Florence!

Incredible experience - Maria was our tour guide and she was phenomenal. I was just expecting some food and a brief tour but she went above and beyond with showing us around, sharing history, and showing us lessor known spots tourists typically miss. This was my first time traveling to Florence and I was a bit overwhelmed with not knowing where to do and what to see but she put all my worries to rest! She even helped me plan out my itinerary while we are here and she was so friendly with my daughter. Can’t recommend enough, she is fantastic at what she does!!

Ana was excellent! - Ana gave a great history overview of Florence as we navigated from food stop to food stop. She even went out of the way (for an unscheduled stop) to take us to the leather school! Highly recommend taking this tour.

Not worth time or money - *NOT WORTH THE PRICE, LEFT STILL HUNGRY*
The 2 stars is only because our guide Antonina was very sweet and enjoyable to be around, and told us some of the history of the area. We paid for the 10 tastings experience. Looking back I suppose the description of that is left intentionally vague. I expected 10 different places, not a huge amount of food at each but still, 10 different places. We walked around for a while, and then stopped at our first place for some (delicious) meat and cheeses and a glass of wine. We stopped at another place and had two tiny pieces of bread with different things in between them, and another drink. (Wife doesn’t drink alcohol so she had a bottle of water both times). After walking again we stopped at a different place and had more substantial food, again delicious, but we held back each time thinking there would be more food ahead. The final stop (we didn’t quite realize at the time) was for gelato. We were told we had enough left in the budget for 2 flavours each, I said not to worry I had extra money for the budget. Sat down to eat our gelato and then was walked in the direction of a site and it was over. I suppose we did try 10 different things, but it was not what we were expecting and definitely not worth the price. The budget that was included in our booking was 40 euros each. We are Canadian and accidentally paid USD so it came to around 560 dollars. Quite a substantial amount, and we couldve eaten MUCH more food ourselves and still afforded a cheaper tour. It was private, just my wife and I with the guide, but it still was absolutely not worth the price. The description also doesn’t mention a budget at all. After the calculations of the budget and what we paid, the company made over $400 in profit.
