Great food tour in Florence - Vanessa is a great guide. She took us to some great stops in Florence -- and in a variety of neighborhoods -- and was also able to answer our various questions along the way. I'm also really glad that she pushed us out of our comfort zone to try foods we might not have otherwise!
