Guide tips
Meet your guide Piazza della Signoria
Kick off your evening in the heart of Florence, surrounded by statues, fountains, and centuries of history.
Sip and snack at a historic wine window
Wander to a traditional buchetta del vino, believed to be one of Florence’s oldest. Enjoy a glass of Tuscan wine and a crunchy tarallo as your guide shares stories of Renaissance-era merchants and quirky Florentine traditions.
Taste Tuscany’s comfort-food classics
Next, you’ll settle into a cozy spot for a seasonal tasting: pappa al pomodoro in summer or ribollita in winter. Then enjoy pecorino cheese, cured meats, and chicken liver pâté crostini, each paired with a locally sourced wine for the full Tuscan experience.
Cross Ponte Vecchio into the Oltrarno
Cross the iconic Ponte Vecchio and head into the charming Oltrarno neighborhood, a hub of local Florentine life. This trendy area is the backdrop for your next tasting, where you'll indulge in simple, delicious, handmade pasta like ravioli.
Enjoy a traditional Florentine steak dinner
Then it’s time for the star of the night. Sit down for a generous serving of Florentine steak, crisp on the outside and ruby-red inside, just as locals prefer. With roasted potatoes and a bold Tuscan red, this is a true Florentine feast.

Our guide was so interesting and knowledgeable about the area and the food. I feel the food in Florence was the best that I had in Italy. Really enjoyed the whole experience and at the end our guide called us a taxi. Above and beyond!!
Loved it

Fabi was our tour guide and she was great. Very personable and was able to keep things moving along at a good pace. We were a couple in a group of 8 total which was a nice size. All food stops were very good and the wine was good too! It was nice to try the Florentine steak. Before the tour we thought we may not get enough steak since it is so expensive, but we did - we were very full at the end. The tour was very good value and helped us understand the lay out of the city core. Book it, you’ll be glad you did!

Even in the rain Fabi did an excellent job! She was engaging, friendly, and made it feel like we were all great friends. The food and wine was really good, we started at the wine window with the choice between a red, white, or rose and we tried some small snacks. Because it was raining we didn’t linger, we made our way to a little restaurant where we had some meats and cheese and another glass of wine. Then we made our way to another small restaurant where we had a ravioli and more wine. This was both my favorite and my only disappointment. The ravioli was delicious, however you only get one. Afterwards we walked a short distance to have the Florentine steak (which is only served medium rare, but it actually looked just rare) and some roasted potatoes with red wine. The steak was just ok for me because I prefer a medium cook, my husband and adult daughters thoroughly enjoyed the steak. After enjoying our meal we then made our way to get gelato for dessert, it was some of the best gelato we had on our vacation. Throughout the evening Fabi took the time to tell us about some of the history in Florence and point out things along our walk. At the end of the evening we all said our goodbyes and Fabi was kind enough to walk us to the train station where we needed to catch our train back to Rome since we were only in Florence for the day. I would highly recommend this excursion, the food and wine was excellent and plentiful (with the exception of the ravioli), and Fabi was an excellent guide!!

Five of us took the Food tour with Teodora (Teddy) on our first night in Florence and it was so much fun and informative. Teddy was a great guide, taking us to delicious restaurants all over the city and treating us to a wonderful roving meal, all while giving us so much information and history about the city. The Florentine steak was delicious and plentiful, and the pasta place was so good we went back there for lunch the next day. Each stop included generous pours of wine. I recommend this tour as a must do while in Florence - and be sure to ask for Teddy as your guide. She is so friendly and personable and made everyone feel at home right away. Impressively, she speaks six languages! She made our evening very enjoyable and one of the highlights of our trip.
Unforgettable Food Tour!

Our guide Francesco (sp?) was amazing, his knowledge of Florence was so impressive!! He had such an energetic personality & could clearly feel his love for Florence through his enthusiasm! Our group of 12 needed to take taxis back to the drop off location to meet our driver, Francesco arranged the taxis for us as well. FYI....the 3rd taxi he called ended up not showing up so he personally walked the last couple of our group back to the drop off location due to safety concerns, I was so impressed & thankful for his caring personality! Cheers to Francesco, he deserves an award for his dedication to his job! Thank you again for an amazing evening!

It was so much fun. Our group felt like one big happy family by the end. Teddy was the best guide. We learned a lot about Florence the city/history, wine, and local food. She also shared a list of some of her favorite spots and we have been checking them out during our stay. This is the best food tour we have taken- and we have taken many throughout Europe.
