A Great Way to Eat Your Way Around Florence - Our guide Valery was wonderful! She made the food tour even more fun than we had anticipated it being. All of the food was delicious and was (with the exception of the gelato) something we wouldn’t really have stumbled upon by ourselves. I loved one of the dishes so much that I sought it out and ordered it for dinner. We had the best time, and I’m so glad we found this tour. It was exactly what we wanted, and more.

Just as fun the 2nd time around! - This was the second time I took this tour and it did not disappoint. The tour was similar to the last one, and fortunately, I had the wonderful Dilara. (She was our guide the first time I did this tour, and is the reason I took it a second time!) The food we tried this time was a bit different than the last but everything was still just as delicious. We did a lot of walking, and even though it was early December, it wasn’t too cold. Just make sure you have comfortable shoes! My husband and I had an amazing time, and I look forward to our next trip back to beautiful Florence.
Thank you, once again, Dilara for being such a fantastic host and guide! You are a beautiful human being and so kind! Hope to see you again, soon!

More than just a food tour - I have taken many tours, and many walking food tours, and this was among, if not the best tour I’ve taken. Dilara our guide was excellent, knowledgeable and so helpful. Not only was she knowledgeable about food, but about the city, it’s history, it’s art and architecture. It was so much more than “just” a food tour. But, make no mistake, the food was excellent. We went back on our own to revisit some of the spots on the tour which were all small businesses, selling excellent products. I highly recommend this tour.
