Description
Ditch the generic big group tours and come experience a side of Florence most tourists miss! This small group tour (8max) takes you to 5 carefully picked stops with a local expert to discover hidden gems in the heart of Florence. Curious Appetite tours are designed by a sommelier food blogger and have been featured in Lonely Planet, Frommer's and Fodor's Fit for first timers and seasoned foodies alike, this culinary walk blends food and history between stunning piazzas and charming backstreets while gaining familiarity with key Florence sites. You'll meet artisan bakers, family-owned delis slicing up cured meat delicacies from their own farms, extra virgin olive oil producers, a truffle cafe, prized gelato parlors and more. Taste top quality Italian wine, Tuscan cheeses & wine, salami specialties (i.e. finocchiona), and learn Florentine's food history. You'll find places hard to find on your own and learn to pick out the highest quality Tuscan foods with a local guide in the know.
