Excellent tour! - Excellent tour! Would highly recommend doing this tour if you are visiting Florence! It was a great way to learn about the city, explore where the locals go, and enjoy some delicious food! Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The variety of food samples offered was perfect and the serving sizes were very generous. A great experience.

Amazing food tour - We really enjoyed this food tour. There were 5 stops, and all of them were delicious. We especially enjoyed the Italian bakery, the pasta lunch, and the market, where we tasted truffles, pistachio butter, and aged balsamic vinegar. The authentic gelato at the end finished off this amazing tour!

Wonderful time; gracious host - 10/10! Host, Dilara was so kind, attentive, and informative. Those who had bad stomachs (me 🫣) or special diet (vegetarian) were accommodated. She was educational and spread out the food and history lessons so you didn’t get too full throughout. Recommend to wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking.

Unexpectedly educational food tour in 2.5 hours - Tasting of typical Floretine foods in non touristy spots.
Especially enjoyed the informative tasting experience of Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, truffles, and pistachio cream. The authentic Gelato tasting was a delightful end to this tour.
Our guide also gave historic significance of foods and places we walked through. Highly recommend!

Great experience - Our tour guide Aurora was joyful and interesting.
We tasted lots of local foods that we wouldn’t think to taste in places we wouldn’t find.
There was a good variety of foods and sweets.
It is well worth the money, we were satiated and satisfied

You won’t regret this food tour - We’ve done quite a few food tours over the years and the tour with Marilisa was just perfect! We weren’t sure what to expect as this tour was so much more affordable than many of the other Florence food tours that we looked at it, but we were not disappointed.
We tried locally made foods from traditional vendors and had a great time, learning about he food and Florence history at the same time.
We had cantucci (almond biscotti), coccoli (salty, delicious fried dough balls with cheese and ham), olive oil, balsamic vinegar, truffle oils, freshly made pasta (4 types), cold meats and cheeses and gelato (and I’ve probably left something out!).
Marilisa took care to ensure we could all hear her explanations, she made sure we had shade (it was a very hot day), she told interesting stories and we loved it!
Grazie Marilisa

Great tour with Caterina! - Catarina was youthful, knowledgeable and fun to take this tour with... she made sure everyone enjoyed it and it was a GREAT value for the money pod. We saw tons of Florence and learned a bunch about the food and specialties. So fun seeing the local market. Would recommend to anyone coming!
