LOVED this tour--Dila was awesome! - I scheduled this tour last minute bc our first day in Florence was going to be very rainy so I figured a tour that spent much time inside the market and food venues would be a good way to get a feel for the city but stay mostly out of the weather. I was a little hesitant to book a group tour because we were traveling with our two teenagers who had not been abroad before and really wanted to make sure. They were engaged with the guide and the information. Could not be more happy with our experience! Our guide, Dila, was AWESOME! our group was just the four of us and two couples from Israel, so eight in total. Dila was super knowledgeable, engaging, interactive, and our kids loved her. She took us to so many delicious places, factored in various dietary requirements of those on the tour plus was flexible and added in things we had read about and wanted to try. The Central Market portion of the tour was really cool--she took us to a vendor there who had tastings prepared for us (truffle honey, balsamic vinegar of different ages, olive oils, etc)--we learned a ton amd had a blast. It was a great value, too! We did several private tours during our trip and they were awesome too but quite expensive. The two group tours we booked through trip advisor, including this one, were two of our favorite experiences in Italy for 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of private tours. Highly recommend this tour and if you can get Dila as your guide all the better! She spent a lot of one-on-one time with both our family and the Israeli group afterward making personalized recommendations--we bought a beautiful belt for our son from a leather artisan she recommended, loved the gelato and cocktail spots she suggested, and had a delicious dinner at a small family (non touristy) restaurant she told us about. Great experience!!

Great food tour with friendly caring guide - Our guide Giordano was excellent. He cared for our group. He had great English language and explained everything very well and he walked at a pace we could all keep up. He was warm, kind and professional. We sampled many things; our favourites were the Mercato Centrale (learned a lot about truffles from a shop keeper plus we sampled beautiful pasta); the most delicious thing was the gelato at the end. The tour went for 2.5 hours at least. Please tip tour guides for good service. We did because it makes a big difference.

This is your sign to book this food tour. - Lorenzo, our guide was perfecto! This is such a fun way to see Florence and taste what it has to offer. Lorenzo’s knowledge of the neighborhood around Mercato Centrale and Florence, in general, can’t be beat. We returned to the bakery and truffle shop to get more. If I could give more stars I would.

Fun and delicious introduction to Florence - We had a great guide Dela who showed lots of enthusiasm as she took us around central Florence. The market tout was my highlight but so was tasting all the local foods from local producers. Gelato at the end of the tour was also delicious!

Worth it. - Nice variety of food. Would do it again. Pasta at a family run restaurant where we seemed to be the only tourists there.

Great tour - We had a great time on this tour. Aurora was very knowledgeable about the food in Florence. We took a stroller and two little ones and she was very accommodating for our needs.

See Florence through your tastebuds - We loved walking through the neighborhood and tasting food at out of the way places. Our guide Marie Lisa (I know I am butchering her name) was wonderfully full of information. The food was all delicious.
