Yum!!! - Absolute best time with Martina! She’s electric, knowledgeable, and so much fun. Fantastic food and local artisans. Great for all ages (went with my parents and 80yo Grandmother). If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate :)

Other Side is Right - Great tour with Eliza. All local, non-tourist places. We bought cheese to bring home. There were places to try authentic local dishes and good wine. Take this tour!!

A great way to discover Oltrarno! - My colleagues and I had a great time on our tour with Antonella! She took us all kinds of places we never would have found on our own and she opened our eyes to all kinds of remarkable inside information that enriched our time in Florence immensely. We never, never would have tried lampredotto on our own, for example, or met the King of Cheese! Antonella's tour was time and money well spent!

Fun, delicious and informative Food Tour in Florence - My colleagues and I enjoyed this tour very much-- many of us loved the lampredotto sandwich. Our guide, Antonella, was very charming, kind, knowledgeable and friendly. I've done several tours with Eating Europe, and they are always well done and professional.

Chiara is a treasure! - Chiara was/is the perfect guide to help us see, taste, savor and enjoy the Oltrarno. He knows very well the history, culture and families that make up the essence of the artisan side of Florence. He introduced us to many local food artisans that we will be forever grateful for. Thank you, Chiara!

Questioning the value for money - The tour was on the expensive side (more than 100 euros per adult and more than 70 euros for children. With that, I expected a lot more food and places - at least to cover a full meal. The tasting portions were relatively small and we went to 5 stops (which were all interesting). However, I really think the price is inflated - especially compared to other food tours we have done in other cities. Other than the questions on value for money, this was a good tour.
