Guide tips
Itinerary
Meet your guide in central Florence
You’ll meet your guide and a small group of fellow travelers in central Florence. Look for the exact location on your booking voucher.
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, settle into a cozy enoteca (wine shop) with a kitchen for a variety of Tuscan flavors. Enjoy Prosciutto, salami, two cheeses, tomato bruschetta, classic thick tomato soup known as pappa al pomodoro, and two different paccheri pasta dishes one with yellow tomato sauce and the other with classic tomato sauce. Then indulge in a tasting selection of Orange mustard, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. These tastings are paired with a locally sourced wine for the full Tuscan experience.
Cross Ponte Vecchio into the Oltrarno
On your way to the next stop, cross the iconic Ponte Vecchio. This bridge is the oldest in Florence and famous for the quirky shops built right into its sides.
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.

Lori was very patient and interesting. She paced the tour fabulously...no rushing, leisurely pace AND FABULOUS choice of restaurants. I would have paid double and still felt like the value was excellent. I wouldn't trade Lori for ANY other guide!

This food tour was SO MUCH FUN! Marco led the tour with so much knowledge and enthusiasm that it would have been delightful even if the food hadn’t been fantastic, which it was. We started at one of the famous wine windows, went on to sample lovely wines, charcuterie, pasta, and the delicious Florentine steak. Finishing with gelato made for a perfect night, strolling the city and being entertained by a delightful guide. I have had great experiences with The Tour Guy tours, and this was one of the best!

First of all, our guide Marco was wonderful and charming. The places we went and the food we sampled were great. I just expected to have more of it. 3 adults had to share one stake. I only got a small slice .
Don’t come really hungry and expect very small portions. It’s a fun tour worth doing, just know it more of a sampling experience.

Amazing tour with a superb tour guide, Marco! Perfect amount of history, local advise, and delicious food. We booked the Florence Evening Food Tour with Florentine Steak and Tuscan Wine tour for our first night in Florence and I’m so glad we did. Marco was easy going and very knowledgeable. He asked what we were interested in and provided local intel about places we should check out. For example, I asked if he knew any thrift stores for clothes and/or antiques, and he told us about a flee market happening the next morning that sounds amazing. The foods we tried were absolutely delicious. So grateful for this experience. Thank you Marco!

We had such a wonderful time with Fredericka. She was very knowledgeable and personable. The food we tasted was off the beaten path and gives you a really good taste of local cuisine. We highly recommend this tour and loved every second of it. The highlight was the bistecca which you get a generous portion of and the gelato.
