Brilliant and lively historical and gastro tour in Florence

Vijay_J, Jun 2025

We completely loved the walking tour that combined historic landmarks, information about Florence and food and wine sampling. This involved visiting several quirky places we would otherwise have never come across. Antonio is a great host. Full of Infectious enthusiasm and charm. The 3 hours passed very quickly. We definitely had our fill. The food was fabulous and finished with a wonderful gelato. I would definitely recommend this tour. Everything worked as expected and on time.

Fun and engaging tour and learn more than you thought you would

Antonio was our guide, a charismatic and engaging tour of Florence. We learned to look up to see hidden gems and we also learned about some historical interesting facts that were right in front of us. One example is how USA was named America…go on the tour and learn! The food locations were very local with rich history, we highly recommend this tour!!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hi Dan, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It sounds like Antonio truly brought Florence to life for you—he’s got that unique way of revealing hidden gems and making you see the city in a whole new light! Learning about Florence’s history (and a little-known fact about how America got its name!) is just the start of the treasures Antonio shares. We’re delighted you enjoyed the local food stops as well; each has its own slice of Florentine history that makes the flavors even richer. Thank you for highly recommending the tour. We hope Florence continues to enchant you long after your journey! 🍝🌞 Best Regards, Ciaran

Antonio is your tour guide!

Antonio is amazing!! He has a very good energy, always smiling and you can tell he truly enjoyed showing us around. He’s local to the city and knows a lot of details that otherwise you would not notice when walking around. I choose this tour based on the mix of cultural information and food with wine. It did not disappoint. To seal the deal at the end, we had the best gelato in the city with view of ponte vecchio. He was kind enough to reserve us a table to one of his favorite restaurants.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

hi Liv, Thank you for the amazing review! Antonio will be thrilled to hear that his energy and local knowledge made your experience unforgettable. It sounds like you got the perfect mix of culture, food, and wine—and finishing with the best gelato in the city by Ponte Vecchio? That’s just perfection! We’re so glad Antonio could set you up with a great restaurant, too. Come back soon for more delicious discoveries! 😊

Great food, fun, and history!

We had a fun and highly informative tour with Antonio! A terrific mix of food, wine, architecture and history of Florence. Would highly recommend a tour with Antonio, who brings a warm, friendly presence along with an encyclopedic knowledge of the city.
