This was one of the best food/wine tours we have done. Our guide was excellent and took us to places that were not deeply in the main tourist areas. We got to try quite a bit of food so come ready to eat if you want to finish it all. We have done plenty of food/wine tours in the past but the private tour was very nice to have complete focus on tour from the guide. We really enjoyed this experience and recommend it if you want a more in depth experience.
Thank you for your review! It was our pleasure. We really take pride in taking guests to lesser known spots and making sure that they are full by the end of the tour! Enjoy the rest of your trip and have a safe trip home!
It is a fun tour. Danilo shares lot of fun facts and comments about the different food you tried. He is a good Connosseur of the Italian's cuisine and wine. It is worth to try it!
Thank you very much for your review! It was so lovely to meet you and show you a bit of Florence! Hopefully our paths will cross again! All the best!
We had a such a great tour with Christy! Our kids loved seeing the farmers market and we loved all of the tastings. She knew everyone along the way and every shop owner greeted her with a bit smile when we walked in. We are looking forward to trying out some of the recommendations she gave us during the tour! We highly recommending booking a tour with Christy!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was really my pleasure to show you and your family a bit of Florence. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your vacation!
Christi gave me the most delightful food tour of Florence and generously shared all her tips. We had little local tastes and morsels that were unique, delicious and that I couldn’t possibly have found out on my own. She also shared tidbits of local history and food lore along the way, helping me understand what I was eating and appreciate it fully. This is a well rounded thought out tour that set me up to have great food experiences for the rest of the trip. I heartily recommend her, 10/10!

We loved that we got to explore a local neighborhood outside of the craziness of the city center. On this tour we got to see what it is like for locals, where they do their shopping, have their coffee, and enjoy the day to day! Each tasting was wonderful and you can tell that it was well thought out so that we could try many different local specialties! Thank you for a wonderful tour!
