Lovely food and strolling experience. - We had a delightful experience on this your with Giovanni as our guide.. Each stop featured a nice portion of a typical Florentine food (Vin Santo, ragu, biscotti, etc), all of which were delicious. Giovanni was informative and very entertaining as we strolled and chatted. The stop in the Central Market stall featured truffles, which we loved. Highly recommended.

Awesome in spite of rainy conditions.. - Our guide was amazing. She knew all the key places to take us and we were able to sample of a variety of foods and also go spread our foods in a winery bar. That was fun. She suggested places to go and eat too.

Best experience ever! - This was the best experience. Well worth the time and money. Great introduction to Florence. Our guide Francesco was great. Since he has been a chef in restaurants he was very knowledgeable and immersed into the food scene in Florence. Very courteous and answered everyone’s questions.

A fun way to try foods I wouldn’t normally choose! - Food was yummy and the tour guide was super fun. We visited historic local restaurants and met a lot of the owners. My only complaint is we definitely came ready to try lots of food, but the selection was rather small. Loved the experience but would pass on the food tour next time and just explore.

Bad tour - Do not take we this with Anna. We learned nothing, and did. Not even eat good food. We were
Do not take this trip with Anna. We learned nothing about the cuisine of Do not take this trip with Anna. We learned nothing about the cuisine of Florence and the food was not even tasty. The restaurant we went to served very undercooked and the sauce was tasteless. Besides there was olive oil and vinegar for the bread which is not how Italians eat. I could go on.
