Great experience and worth it! - Food and tour guide were fantastic. Highly recommended. Don’t eat prior to tour or plan on eating afterwards. Lisa easy to talk and nice to have a small group.

Great Food Tour - Loved this food tour, a nice variety of food & drinks to try along the way, and the pace of the tour was relaxed & not rushed like some tours can be. All of the venues were close to each other so that very little time was wasted walking from one place to the next. Martina our guide was amazing, very friendly & informative & took care of our group very well. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing Experience - Martina was an amazing tour guide that gave us an incredible culinary experience. She took excellent care of the entire group of travelers, including one with mobility issues and one with celiac’s disease, making sure that all of us had an incredible experience. I would highly recommend the Eating Florence tour, and after this experience, we’ll be checking out one in Venice next!
