Food Adventure in Florence - Our food tour in Florence was an absolute treat! I loved diving into the history and tradition of Florentine cuisine.
We started at Piazza della Signoria, soaking in the rich history before heading to El Duomo, where the stunning architecture took our breath away.
The food was the star of the show! We enjoyed delicious Crostini with Tuscan toppings and savored Lampredotto, a unique and tasty street food. The cheese and salami board paired with local wines was a highlight, offering a true taste of Tuscany.
For dessert, we indulged in the exquisite cakes of Iginio Massari, each bite better than the last.
Special Mention:
Our guide, Antonio, was fantastic—cool, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure we had an amazing time and shared great tips for exploring Florence.
If you're in Florence, this food tour is a must-do! It’s a fun, tasty way to experience the city’s cuisine heritage.

Calling all foodies - If you’re an Italian food lover then this tour is for you. Crostini, salami, cheese, you name it! You will get to try plenty of tasty local gems. And let’s not forget about gelato for those with a sweet tooth.
But this tour is not just about food and that’s why my husband and I enjoyed it a lot. While strolling around Florence and its most famous landmarks, Antonio will charm you with his cultural knowledge and anecdotes about the city. He is funny and will make sure you make the most of this culinary experience. So, if you’re looking to discover Florence while enjoying good food in good company, then I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Thank you Antonio, we’ll be back!
