Definitely a great food tour in Florence - This was a really good food tour. The group size was reasonable at 9. The tour guide, Antonella, was prompt, professional, and good with explanations about both the food and local insights. Antonella also had a very positive rapport with all the vendors we visited and this made a huge difference in the tour quality and our enjoyment. We returned to 2 vendors afterwards to make purchases of items to ship or take home. Food tours can go a lot of different ways and this one was quite excellent!

Great way to be introduced to Florence food culture - Francesco was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We enjoyed all the food. One tip would be to do this tour early in your trip so can go back and enjoy the places you visit on the tour.
