Wonderful day! Not only did we have wonderful food but we learned a lot about Tuscan cuisine and culture. Definitely would recommend.
Really lovely afternoon touring local artisan food shops with an absolutely lovely guide. We easily made a lunch out of this! We were not rushed through anything and all of our questions were answered. Highly recommend!
This was a good tour that combined food and history. Our guide was friendly and accommodating, and adjusted the tour to our interests. Highly recommend!
My parents have never been to Europe and this was their first time having a private tour of anything. They were blown away by the personal touch you get when you have someone talking to you and with you vs. in a microphone with a group of 30. We saw those groups, and we cringed because it looked impersonal and like cattle. We loved that Stefania sat down with us and had conversations about Florentine culture. She made it feel like we were long lost friends reconnecting. My parents are SOLD on private tours and now they have realized the benefit they provide. The timing of the tour was perfect for families and we devoured all the goodies that were provided.
Stephanie was an excellent guide, leading us to the places of actual locals, she was clearly a knowledgeable guide and just a comfortable person to be around. Thank you!
Our first morning in Florence was a food tour with Elisabetta and it was the PERFECT way to learn a little about the city and the amazing food! She was so welcoming, good with our children and the food was delicious! We still dream about the sandwich in the Florence market - amazing!!
Christy was great! Knowledgable and friendly. Speaks perfect English as an expat, but very familiar with the city having lived there so long. She was also great with our little kids, who very quickly were drawn to her warm style. She added the little extras that make all the difference for kids as well. We highly recommend her! Only thing we would change is making the time block longer.
Our guide (Sara) took our family of 4 to experience a number of delicious local delicacies! We really enjoyed getting to learn about the food itself and the culture surrounding it from a local directly. Sara was friendly and really knowledgeable! We really enjoyed ourselves!
I booked this tour with my two children (8,9) and couldn't have picked better. Gianni was so helpful and informative and pitched it perfectly for the children. We learnt loads and tried so many delicious treats. It was a public holiday and super busy and he even phoned a restaurant to open for us as we couldn't get in anywhere else. He added extra food and wine and was honestly so friendly and fun. We've been on quite a few tours before but this was by far the best. The extra details, effort and time make Gianni the best host we've ever had. Don't hesitate to book, you will love it
Christy was an amazing tour guide! We are a family of 4 (kids ages 8 & 9) and chose the kid friendly Taste of Florence tour. Christy was the perfect choice for our family. She is so knowledgeable about the city, has relationships with the best restaurants/bakeries/wine shops/gelato stores, and my kids loved her! Christy truly brought Florence to life for us! The experience of popping in and out of a variety of different eateries would not have been possible without her and Christy really cares about the local shops and the people that work there. Our favorite was seeing an amazing wine cellar in the basement of a local wine store during our wine tasting! Amazing host and I highly recommend seeing and eating your way through Florence with Christy!
