Perfect taste of Florence

William_M, Jun 2024

Our tour guide, Martina, was the perfect mix of knowledge and great personality! Also, her selections of the local market and bistros were perfect. We would highly recommend Martina and the tour.

Martina was excellent! All Our food stops and the central market were so good. Her local knowledge made the tour that much better.

Wonderful Experience

Jamil_T, Apr 2024

This didn’t involve the Duomo or the Baptistry or any other major tourist attractions (obviously if you read the description) BUT this was probably one of our favorite parts of the trip to Florence, and even Italy. We tried small tastes of multiple dishes from different small local restaurants and markets. Every local knew our guide (Martina) and it was amazing to live the real daily Florentine/Italian experience through her. And speaking of Martina, she was amazing! I swear we found a lost member of our family 🙂 Overall an amazing morning-early afternoon and even 3 hours isn’t enough since you won’t want it to end!

Buono!

Guilia was incredible. She communicated with us before the tour, and the meeting place was very clear. We loved every stop, every moment of the tour. After we were done, Guilia sent us a list of all of the stops, and we went back to the restaurant and the gelato shop the next day! Arrive hungry…it’s a lot of food, but so worth it! And Guilia even helped us with our Italian lessons! Highly recommended.

Recommend Guila

Deborah_S, May 2023

Guila was fantastic. She has such great knowledge of food, the local area as well as the history and a wonderful sense of humor. She made us feel at ease and although we tried everything she put before us we had our favorite and least favorite foods. Thanks Guila for a wonderful time out.

Fantastic Food Tour!

Bradley_W, Oct 2022

Martina was a fantastic guide through the market in Florence. We enjoyed her perspective on food and loved eating all of the food she got for us. She made it to easy to navigate the market and restaurants to try all the food and understand how it relates to Florence and it’s culture. Would 100% recommend for any traveler wanting to know more about Florence food and get a local perspective from a great person.
