Fun intro to Florence! Thanks Dilara! - Dilara was an excellent guide for our Florence food tour! She was very friendly and enthusiastic and seemed to have personal relationships with every business owner that we came in contact with. This was a fun way to get introduced to the city and learn more about the traditional cuisines. It was an easy walk between places and we tried everything from holy wine, pastas, sandwiches, gelato and more! She kept the energy up and our bellies full. The communication on where to meet her was also very easy and clear. At the end of the tour she gave us a recommendation of a roof top bar which we never would have found on our own and really enjoyed. Thanks Dilara!!

A Great Way to Eat Your Way Around Florence - Our guide Valery was wonderful! She made the food tour even more fun than we had anticipated it being. All of the food was delicious and was (with the exception of the gelato) something we wouldn’t really have stumbled upon by ourselves. I loved one of the dishes so much that I sought it out and ordered it for dinner. We had the best time, and I’m so glad we found this tour. It was exactly what we wanted, and more.

Excellent food, a little short on history - Very good introduction to the food of Tuscany. Very tastey examples of local cuisine.
Could be improved by some description of the fabulous buildings that we passed during the tour
