Semi-Private Food Tour in Florence | Local Dining Experience Reviews

Authentic and Memorable

This wasn’t about tourist traps—it was about real Florentine food culture. Giulia led us with such energy and humor, making the group feel like old friends. The lampredotto sandwich will forever remind me of Florence now.

Florence Through Food and Wine

My wife and I travel for food, and this tour did not disappoint. We particularly loved the explanation of how the Sangiovese grape shapes Tuscan wines. It was both educational and indulgent.

Great Value for Money

Honestly, for what we ate and drank, this tour felt like a bargain. Three pasta dishes, multiple wines, meats and cheeses, street food, and gelato—more than enough. Plus, the small group size made it feel intimate.

Not Just a Food Tour

I expected just tastings, but our guide tied each dish to Florentine history. Standing by the Duomo while nibbling on salumi felt surreal. It gave context to the food and made it more meaningful.

Foodie Heaven in Florence

I’m a serious foodie, and this tour hit every note. Pecorino with truffle honey, Brunello di Montalcino, handmade pasta, and the creamiest pistachio gelato. Plus, Luca gave us restaurant recommendations we used for the rest of our trip.

A Tour That Engaged All the Senses

Between the smell of fresh basil in the pasta, the sound of clinking glasses in the wine bar, and the creamy gelato melting on my tongue, this tour was pure sensory joy. Marco had the kind of enthusiasm that’s contagious.

Even Better Than Expected

I thought it would just be a food crawl, but it was so much more. We got a mini history lesson, walked through charming streets, and learned how Italians take pride in seasonality. The ravioli gnudi was a favorite.

Wine, Pasta, Gelato—What’s Not to Love

Our group bonded quickly over glasses of Brunello and hearty plates of Tuscan pasta. Elena sprinkled in historical facts along the way, which made the food taste even richer somehow. By the end, we felt like locals.

Our Favorite Experience in Florence

Out of everything we did in Florence, this food tour was the highlight. Chiara’s storytelling added so much flavor to the dishes we tasted. The pasta course alone would have been worth the price.

Perfect Mix of Walking and Eating

We never felt too full because the tour was broken up with strolls around the city. Standing in Piazza della Signoria with a glass of Chianti was unforgettable. And the gelato stop—absolutely heavenly.
