Amazing family-friendly market tour with the fabulous Eli! - Eli was an incredible tour guide and so wonderful with our young kids, ages 3 and 7. She was very knowledgeable and knew how to engage the children while also keeping things interesting for me and my husband. We got super lucky and ended up being the only ones in our group, so the tour was private! We tried so many amazing local foods and got to experience the magic of the market. My kids bonded with Eli and the only bad part was that the tour eventually had to end. I would highly recommend this food tour and if you can, request Eli!

Central Market - Initially we found the place a bit confusing and were rather disappointed when we reached there. However, once we took a little time and walked around, we realized there was so many new food things to try out. Everything was really tasty and I certainly recommend the place. Ambience may not be 5 star worthy but the food certainly was!

Engaging, enlightening and delicious - Anto was one of the most engaging tour leaders we have had and we have done many good tours over the years. She had so much energy and love for Florence and its vendors - you could tell the great relationship she had with everyone we visited. The food was fantastic with variety, quality and plentiful. We went to so many places we would be afraid to venture into and now we have the local knowledge to do it independently. Love it!!
