Had a fantastic food tour with Francesco. His knowledge was great and his passion for the food and Florence really came across. Lots of tasty stops mixed with local customs and history. A perfect blend
Francesco made our Taste of Florence tour an absolute delight! He kept us laughing from start to finish with his great sense of humor, while sharing fascinating stories and history that brought Florence to life. The food was absolutely delicious, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. We were also lucky to have such a fun group to explore with, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderfully organized tour that perfectly blended amazing food, local history, and plenty of laughs. Bravo, Francesco—well done!
Take this your early in visiting Florence! Francesco was amazing. With historical knowledge and a background in the culinary arts, he gave us valuable knowledge about authentic Florentine and Tuscan cuisine. He was friendly and engaging, interacting with everyone on the tour, and had many suggestions on where to go to find the most authentic experiences in Florence. We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. Everything was so delicious! Thank you, Francesco!
A great experience. Francesco was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience fun for the entire family. You get to experience a variety of food, meet some of the locals and learn about some history along the way. Pastries, pasta, gelato are included and you even get to try some local wine… !!! This was our first taste of Firenze and it was a wonderful introduction to this amazing place.
This was an amazing tour with the perfect balance of history and gastronomic delights from authentic Florentine businesses. Our tour guide Marilisa was just fantastic!
Francesco led us through the streets of Florence to enjoy food from 5 different locations while providing interesting background related to Florentine food and history. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it!!
Francesco was an amazing tour guide!!!!!! This was an amazing tour with great stops with tons of food. Would recommend anybody do. Thank you Francesco!!!!
The guide was nice and knowledgeable. The first three stops, however, were just bread with different toppings. The first stop what perfect with the other 2 stops was a bit disappointing. Stop 4 with pasta was very good and even the end with the ice cream was good. The experience was very nice with the food with bread on three stops felt unimaginative / cheap.
Francesco was fantastic 👏 He was knowledgeable, humorous and highly informative. His passion made the experience very authentic and enjoyable for us all. Would highly recommend this food tour to others, Thank you 😊
