Fantastic Food Tour with the best guide! - Awesome experience! Cassie was a great tour guide and showed us all the local spots and the best dishes in Florence. She also gave us some background on the dishes we were having, which was great context while we enjoyed our food. This was my 2nd tour in Florence and I have another booked in Rome that i’m very excited for. Highly recommend CarpenDiem Tours.

Fantastic experience! - This food tour was fantastic. I have been on many food tours in my travels and this one was perfectly balanced. There was tons of good food, but because the food was spaced out over three hours and we would walk between the tastings it really allowed us to have time to digest before our next dish. Just a really well design and laid out tour. Our guide, Allison, was great. She was really personable and helped everyone in the group feel really comfortable with the experience. Would 100% recommend and it is well worth the price.

Great food tour - We had zofia as our tour guide and she was amazing. All of the food was very tasty especially the steak. My favorite part was learning about the gelato and I now am in southern Italy in search of the real thing.

11/10 stars! Loved the tour - Our guide Casey was amazing, she and her colleague was very knowledgeable about the area, the food we ate and their enthusiasm lifted up the groups mood. Food tour is a great way to explore and understand the local scene. I highly recommend to take a tour like this early on your visit to the city.

Florence must do! - We had an incredible time with our guide, Ryana, who made the tour not only incredibly tasty, but also very educational. I would highly recommend this tour to learn more about the different foods that are specific to Florence and the history related to the region.

Tour was great!!! Reimbursement for accidentally double booking, not very cool. - Highly recommend!!! Cassidy was phenomenal as a guide!! She was funny, patient, kind! Great tour from start to finish.
Unfortunately, I accidentally booked 2 tours for 3 of us. When I booked. It we were on the train, going through tunnels and I didn’t realize it went through. When I asked for one to be reimbursed I was denied because it was under the 24hr time frame.

Great tour, great food, great guide! - The food was excellent. Courses were a sandwich, pasta, bread soup - so delicious!, Florentine steak and gelato. (Note: my sandwich and pasta in the photos were vegetarian because I don’t eat pork or boar). Zofia was our guide - she was fun and friendly, and made the tour fun! I highly recommend this tour.
