The Flavors of Tuscany - Devour's Florence Food Tour was a delightful exploration of Tuscan cuisine. Following my fantastic experience in Venice with them, I eagerly joined this tour, which began with an immersive visit to Sant'Ambrogio Market. Interacting with passionate vendors and trying lampredotto was a highlight. Our knowledgeable guide, a true Florentine, led us through the market and various local eateries, offering insights and tastings that showcased the diversity of Florence's culinary heritage. I highly recommend this tour to anyone eager to savor the flavors of Tuscany

Amazing Experience!!! - I rarely leave reviews, but this is the case when I wanted to thank our guide Teodora and the Devour company for an unforgettable excursion, which fully gives the opportunity to appreciate and understand how delicious Tuscan cuisine is. We made 7 stops in different delicious places, our breakfast started with croissants and cappuccino, as well as other sweets, then we were at the market and much more...We even had a wine tasting. We learned not only about food but also a lot of history thanks to our professional guide Teodora. It was a wonderful experience and food tour.I am ready to repeat. Thanks again Teodora and Giulia and see you in Florence!

A fun and intimate tour - I had a great time on this tour. The neighborhood is charming and the market was beautiful. Our tour guide was fun, enthusiastic, and very kind. I’d definitely take other tours and explore other cities and neighborhoods with Devour Tours. By the end of the tour I was full and tasted many flavors.

The perfect start to your Florentine day - The perfect start to your Florentine day!
Lorenzo started our morning out with coffee & buttery pastries before we headed into the Sant’Ambrogio market to taste salami & wine & to learn why Tuscan bread doesn’t have salt.
We went to a wine bar & drank some terrific Tuscan whites & reds & got to taste fresh out of the fryer coccoli.
This tour gives you special access to a popular gelato spot & the chance to taste lamprodotto, a beloved Florentine speciality.

Do you like Chianti & Sunset walks over the Arno? - Do you like Chianti & Sunset walks over the Arno?
Lorenzo showed us the quieter & more delicious side of Florence on this evening tour. We started in a cozy enoteca with Tuscan wines & cheeses & salami and then walked to a friendly trattoria (stopping to learn about the neighborhood & how to spot a genuine wine door) where we ate a perfectly cooked bistecca Fiorentina. There was pasta & gelato & more wine & cantucci too!
