Great tastes of Tuscany - Great experience! One different restaurant each for appetizer, snack, pasta, main, and dessert, while walking around and learning about the food and the culture. Martina was knowledgeable and fun

Excellent food walking tour - Guido was very, very informative about Florence & it's history, wine, food, etc. which made the experience more interesting and pleasurable. We even returned to Sant'Ambrogio market to buy some provisions!

Delish! - This was awesome! Very slow paced, but tons of food to taste. Our guide was very knowledgeable about food, wine and Florence in general. The food definitely did not seem tourist driven so felt like I got a very genuine experience.

Must do tour if you’re a foodie - Guido was a wonderful tour guide. We learned a lot about the local restaurants and about the history of the city in itself. Every place we tried was delicious and unique, not the typical thing you’d find at most of the restaurants. The gelato place he took us to is probably the best I’ve ever tried.

Feasting in Florence - Irene was a great guide. It was just two of us on the tour but she still brought humour, insights and great recommendations about food. She also talked about the history of certain buildings and areas in an engaging way. Generous food portions and wine too! I’m still dreaming about the blue cheese and honey and the gelato !

Awful - Guide was sweet but tour was very weak for $100 per person. 3 short pours of just ok wine and very uneventful food tastings. Best part of the tour was when it was over and we had gelato. No pizza no pasta on an Italian food tour? For $200 I could have had a fabulous dinner at a great restaurant with a a great bottle of wine. Very disappointed and wouldn’t recommend.
