Great Food Tour for our Italian Honeymoon! - We had an amazing time and throughly enjoyed the great wine and good food. We were hoping to visit some local secrets and this tour did not disappoint. We also received greats tips and pointers for our final two days in Florence - from bars to attractions and the local vintage market, we walked away with much more knowledge of the city! Our tour guide was amazing, knowledgeable, and took us to places we otherwise never would have come across.

Lovely evening out exploring Florence! - Our guide Chiara was exceptional with a depth of knowledge and passion to share for her home. The first venue was a truly authentic heritage visit and possibly the highlight of our tour along with the story.
The venues were varied in atmosphere story and offerings.
Chiara also went over our scheduled time to share with us a brief history (and walk through) the old cinema which is now a bookstore. Something I would have walked past without knowing.
These walking foodie tours are so worth it on many levels and I sought our Urban Adventures after the same tour with them in Barcelona recently.
We had a small group of just the two of us and Chiara as the guide.
Highly recommend Urban Adventures and Chiara!

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!

A highlight of our time in Florence - We did the Intrepid Urban Adventures Florence tour and absolutely loved it. Mara was fantastic — her knowledge of food and wine was incredible, but what really stood out was her insight into Florentine history and all the quirky local nuances you’d never pick up on your own. She has such a warm, charismatic personality and made the experience feel relaxed and engaging throughout. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Florence.
