First of all Manuela was a fantastic, knowledgable host. The places we visited were both authentic and delicious. We had plenty to eat & drink and learned alot about Italian culture & history. Great tour, sign up!
Great tour. Very authentic. Our tour guide Guiseppe was fantastic! He was very engaging and truly enjoyed sharing the wonderful experience of Florence.
We had such a great food walking tour of Florence with Dmitri! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to some great local spots we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. We got to try a variety of delicious foods while also learning about Florence, its culture, and the history behind what we were eating.
Dmitri made the experience fun, relaxed, and personal. It was a perfect way to explore Florence through its food. Definitely recommend!
It was a great tour of several different business or restaurants. We enjoyed meeting the owners of each and learned about each of their specialties. We met people from all over in our group and sampled wines, cheeses, pasta, meats and gelato - all were delicious!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hey Amy! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Florence through its local food and drink.
Meeting the owners and hearing directly about the specialties of each family-run business is such a big part of what makes the Florence Sunset Food & Wine Tour special, so it’s lovely to know you enjoyed those encounters. And it sounds like you sampled a fantastic selection — wine, cheeses, pasta, meats, and gelato!
We’re also happy you enjoyed meeting fellow travelers along the way. We hope to welcome you back to Florence for another delicious adventure!
Gabriele was a wonderful tour guide! The tour was engaging, educational and best of all wine and snacks. Our tour was only 5 people so we didn’t feel awkward with a large group.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Ciao Karin! Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Florence Sunset Food & Wine Tour with Gabriele.
It’s wonderful to know that you found the experience engaging and educational — with plenty of wine and snacks, of course! A smaller group can make the evening feel especially relaxed and personal, so we’re glad the five-person group was a great fit for you.
We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Gabriele. We hope to see you again in Florence!
You actually experience a lot of food and alcohol. Ask for Serena Manetti. She is very knowledgeable about Florence. I had no idea about the Florence culture and she helped us recognize the difference in the food and wines of Florence
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hey Gary! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Florence Sunset Food & Wine Tour and that you got to experience such a great variety of local food and wine.

We’ll be sure to pass along your recommendation to ask for Serena!
Must book this tour if you like to experience culture and food. The tour was slow pass no rush enjoy good food with nice people. We all become friends by the sec glass of wine.

This was a very interesting, informative and fun tour of the Spirito Santo neighborhood and some exceptional places you might miss if you hadn’t been introduced to them. Martino was an amazing guide! Knowledgeable, funny, responsive, interesting. He is very good at this! We are, we drank, we laughed, we bonded as a group. It was simply a terrific evening! The price point was well worth it - this is one of the pricier things we planned for this visit and worth every penny!

We were somewhat disappointed in this tour as it was not exactly as described. Missing were several wine window experiences (we only had one) and no Tuscan beef offering. The first, second and last stops were excellent, those in between not so much.
