The Other Side of Florence Food Tour

Good guide interesting places, wanted a bit more from the food experiance

Tour was disappointing for several reasons. It was a very cold mid-winter day and it's possible some of the locations available in summer were closed. Too much emphasis on pastries and cakes; one stop would have done. I think we ate at just one of the places listed in your brochure for Oltrano. Omar was friendly, but his continued reference to the "hipster" life in Oltrano rang hollow - streets were deserted and there was no evidence of the hipster vibe. Telling us what happens at night wasn't interesting. Spirito Santo was similarly disappointing. I've done your tours in London (East End) and Rome (Trastevere and Testaccio) and they were full of interesting food and great stories about the places we went. The London East End tour was a bitter December day but was full of life. I can't help viewing our tour as being walked around half a dozen cafes for tastes of food we could buy ourselves. We sat down for stew/mashed potato at one location, but then left. Most of the cafe locations were so small you couldn't get more than three of us in there which made us think they weren't the regular stops. All in all, disappointing and certainly not worth the money spent. Maybe, this is a tour that you drop in winter?
