Local. Knowledge Shines
I really loved our tour guide Sarina. She knew a lot about the history of the culture and the background, and she truly made it of most enjoyable journey.

Snacks and strolling. Great fun
It’s a great introduction to some good food available by an easy walk around the central historical area. Manny was an engaging guide and if the other couples and families on our tour are anything to go by, it’s a fun way to meet some people from other places

A must do tour!
Francesco was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered information that kept us both informed and laughing. We made many stops and left too full to have lunch.

Do It for the Food!
Food and drink is absolutely fantastic on this tour. There was a wide variety and plenty of it with excellent quality. Central Market and lunch stops are particularly good and entertaining. Our guide actually was not that good but the food was so good it more than made up for that.

This is your sign to book this food tour.
Lorenzo, our guide was perfecto! This is such a fun way to see Florence and taste what it has to offer. Lorenzo’s knowledge of the neighborhood around Mercato Centrale and Florence, in general, can’t be beat. We returned to the bakery and truffle shop to get more. If I could give more stars I would.

Excellent and enthusiastic guide. The market, the restaurant and the ice cream place and the bakery have been high standard too. I would definately recommend this experience to anyone.

Fun and delicious introduction to Florence
We had a great guide Dela who showed lots of enthusiasm as she took us around central Florence. The market tout was my highlight but so was tasting all the local foods from local producers. Gelato at the end of the tour was also delicious!

Lovers of Italian food will particularly enjoy touring the market—it’s the perfect place to try Florentine classics like ribollita, lampredotto, and bistecca alla fiorentina.
The upstairs area has an excellent wine shop that can ship anywhere in the world, a bookstore, and a workshop that hosts wine tastings and cooking demonstrations.
The downstairs stalls are a great place to snag ingredients, either for an impromptu picnic or for souvenirs.
There are ramps and an elevator to access both the upper and lower floors of the market.
