Overview

Food is at the heart of Italian culture, and its fresh ingredients, powerful flavors, and famous dishes are at the top of many foodies' bucket lists. This tour takes you away from the popular tourist hotspots—instead, we'll show you how we Florentines live and the eateries we love. Explore markets where expert butchers masterfully carve steak, revel in the enormous wine selection at an authentic enoteca, and discover unforgettable desserts that are unique to the city.

Try 9 food tastings, 5 glasses of wine, and 1 coffee at 8 different stops. Enough food for a full meal.
Visit a vibrant food market where vendors bring you on a flavorful journey through Florence.
Sip on a freshly poured espresso in a traditional café.
Meet the makers behind some of the city’s best dishes.
Discover eateries that are hidden to even most locals and learn how to make the most of every meal in Italy.

Florence Food Tour Itinerary

In a city that was the beating heart of the Renaissance, Florence has a history and unique heritage unlike any other. But while so many come here for the architecture and art, many miss its greatest hidden treasure (in our opinion!)—the food.

Stunning Amazing experiences being on top of the Duomo and almost alone. Our guide Giada was extremely knowledgeable, sweet, and able to explain everything in a clear and simple way. Being on top of the city is breath-taking

Well Worth the Money Great way to experience the majesty of Duomo without crowds and in an exclusive setting. We enjoyed the info and seeing the city of Florence at sunset and in the dark of night. Our guide Gaida was very accommodating and informative. A side note is that if you do this tour in the fall winter or early spring, the view from the terraces will not have much daylight because you start the tour at 5:45.

Take this tour! The small group, and access to the terraces and chapel floor without the crowds was special indeed.. The views of Florence at sunset is breathtaking. Giada, our guide, was very knowledgeable and pleasant!
