Traveler reviews
Fantastic Food Tour!
Loved this food tour! It was such a fun and informative way to discover what to eat in Florence. Our guide, Valeria, was fantastic; so knowledgeable, friendly, and great at making the experience enjoyable. We loved trying authentic Florentine dishes and visiting some of the best local establishments. We learned so much and had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent tour of the local food of Florence
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour of local Florentine food. The tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable of the history of Florence and how that relates to the food. The tour was well organized with the restaurants/stores ready for our arrival. There was a lot of food and it was varied (salad, pasta, soup, etc.). However, the title in TripAdvisor is misleading. I don't remember eating truffle and we didn't have Cantucci or olive oil (on its own). What we had was delicious, but it was other local foods. Also, the food served is not suitable for a vegetarian or vegan diets. I'm not sure if they can accomodate or not, I don't remember seeing it when I booked.
Fabulous food tour
We absolutely loved this food tour. Dela was an amazing guide with lots of stories about the city and its famous inhabitants. The food was all Excellent and meeting Ivana the 97 year old owner of the bakery was so lovely. We Would highly recommend this tour.
Go for a foodtour
Anna was very sweet and had planned an informative trip around the city. Some of the places were very busy and it was difficult to hear what she was saying. She was open to questions and had a large knowledge of typical food from the area.
Wonderful tour !!
