Vanessa was a great guide, very knowledgeable and enjoyable! The tour hit some high spots of the city as well as olive oil, great lunch, and gelato. “Small group” was very small, as we were the only ones on the tour we got a private event that was great for us traveling with our 11 month old. Great tour and guide.

Vanessa is a gem! So personable, knowledgeable, and she made me feel like family! Loved our stops especially the olive oil tasting! She made sure I stayed safe on the streets as cars can go by fast! She has a lot of pride for her beautiful city. I loved that she took me to places the locals go and we were away from the busy city center which made it feel very authentic. She even sent me via what’s app some tour and food suggestions for my remaining days here that were so helpful. Thanks Vanessa for a very memorable evening. Don’t hesitate to book this .. it’s a great one!

Amazing must do

Sandra_V, Jun 2026

Vanessa and her husband was very persistent in making sure that I receive the change of meeting point location. We were late 15 min and arrived very stressful. They immediately made us feel welcomed and extremely comfortable at ease. it was just us and although our tardiness created a domino effect to the 3 taste/snack stops they still did not rush us. It was very obvious that they are both loved and respected. Very sweet knowledgeable and patient. So professional we gave them a S100 tip. Not bragging just making sure ALL that visit Florence purchased this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Food Tour with Vanessa

Vanessa was an excellent host in our limited time in Florence. Wealth of information on all things Florentine with great food and wine choices! Especially the gelato 😊. Thanks Vanessa!

Fun evening in Florence

Lori_W, May 2026

An enjoyable evening with the delightful Enrico! I was the only one who signed up and Enrico still held the tour. He was friendly and knowledgeable and gave a real local experience. We had an olive oil tasting where I bought some to take home and wine tasting where I did the same. We went to a restaurant for the final course and then down the street for gelato. I requested the food be vegetarian and the activity light on the alcohol and he was able to customize for me. I recommend this tour for a small group and personalized experience.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and honestly, there was no doubt about running the tour—every guest deserves a great experience, whether it's a full group or a solo traveler. I'm so glad you enjoyed the olive oil and wine tastings, as well as our stops for dinner and gelato. For me, "authentic experience" means exactly this: being able to customize the path and the menu to perfectly fit your preferences, like your vegetarian and light-alcohol requests. Thank you for recommending my tours. Enjoy your Tuscan wine and olive oil back home, and I hope to see you again in the future! Best regards, Enrico

We really enjoyed our time with Judy during the tour. She is very bright young woman. She will be successful at all things. The city is beautiful. The food (pasta, bruschetta, meats, cheese, gelato, wine) were all great picks. We are happy customers!
