Truly, one of the highlights of our trip w some of the best food - I am so very happy that I took this tour with my wife and daughter, it was one of the very best things we did here in Florence. Our tour guide Alice was so friendly and knowledgeable, we just fell in love with her! And honestly the food we had here was some of the very best we had - better than some of the expensive restaurants we visited. This charcuterie board blew my mind, THE best I've ever sampled.

Best food tour ever - The tour was awesome. Our tour guide, Giulia, made the tour special by bringing us into the story of Florence and its culinary history as we visted small food shops as well as the market. Giulia, also snuck in a few foods that we may have not tried on our own. All was delicious! The Gelato was the topping on the cake... so good.

Wheelchair Accessible Florence Food Tour - My husband and I had a fabulous experience during our tour today. We were taken off the beaten path to experience Florence like a local. Gabriel‘s passion and knowledge was obvious. Lastly, I am a wheelchair user and was nervous that this might be a setback for the tour but Gabriel was professional and so kind, ensuring everything we did was also accessible for me. I highly recommend this tour and plan to book in another city during our next visit. Ciao!!

Wonderful tour. . . Thank you Alice! - We had the pleasure of doing two food walking tours while in Florence. Both were incredible. This tour was so special, as it was just me and my wife with Alice, the guide. We were able to try 9 dishes across 6 locations. And that doesn’t even count getting to try a few different samples at the market. Highly recommend the street food tour and make sure to as for Alice, because she was incredible.

Eat like the locals do! - What a fantastic food tour! Alice was a wonderful guide and took us through the streets of Firenze, where we got to try foods that locals eat. I found a few new favorites (lampredotto and riboletta) before we ended the tour with a beautiful cup of gelato. I have already recommended this tour to friends and will continue to do so - this is an activity not to be missed! If you’re a foodie, book this now!

Fun food tour! - Fun tour with Stefano. So much food! We especially loved the market stops. Great way to try lots of local specialties. A couple items were a little adventurous for some in our group, but it was fun to be exposed to these dishes.
