Lorenzo was full of energy and information! We had a wonderful time. - The most memorable for me was the final destination and mean; Florentine Steak! We found three restaurants during our tour, and sampled a few red, white, Chianti's, and some interesting food.
We would recommend the tour, as we all enjoyed learning about the restaurants, the food, and the history.
We had a group of 6, with kids ages ranging from 11 to 20, and they all enjoyed it, as did we. Great time in Florence.

Great food, wine, and history lesson all in one evening. - We did this tour our last night in Florence. It turned out just to be the two of us with our guide, Lori, who was an absolutely wonderful guide and person. She was amazingly knowledgeable, not only about the food, but also about history and art. We were so lucky to have just the three of us, as it turned out to be an unexpectedly personal experience for us.

Excellent food and experience. - Fantastic thing to do! Highlight of our trip. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly and took us to outstanding off the beaten track restaurants and gave us tips on where to go, what to do. Highly recommend. (And no one is telling me to say this. It’s true!)

Fun Florence Food Tour - Our family and the rest of our tour group had a fabulously fun evening with Marco.
This tour is exactly as described, although I would say the wines are more just served rather than it being a tasting experience.
The stops and food served were all excellent and Marco shared with us the origins and meaning of the foods we were trying. Don’t expect much of a narrative or history lesson about Florence though, this was all about the food. And while the tour didn’t include a gelato stop, he provided us with a couple of recommendations. The one we went to was excellent.

Excellent guide, highly recommended tour! - We had a fantastic time on the tour. Our guide Eleanora was absolutely wonderful, as she shared so much information about the wine, the food, and Florence in general. We all felt like we were experiencing the area with a friend, not just with a hired guide.
