This walking food tour is designed to discover and taste the gastronomic side of Florence, among the most appreciated by Italians. The city will surprise you for the variety and richness of its flavors, recipes and wines. Our gastronomic tour around Sant’Ambrogio neighborhood – away from the big crowds yet in the city centre, where you’ll find mostly locals – is designated to make you enjoy the authentic flavors of this city in every bite, enriching it with stories and anecdotes and taking you only in the best places where locals usually go. The journey includes ancient specialties such us cecina or lampredotto, excellent wines and new flavours in wineries and small restaurants. The secret of our tastiest and most authentic perspective of Tuscan cuisine is a very simple recipe: knowing where to go and the city culinary heritage; employing only passionate food-lovers, licensed tour guides; respecting the local producers, as well as the food richness of this unique city.

5.00What a fantastic experience! My husband and I would do it again in a heartbeat. We took the tour with only one other couple who became friends after this shared day. Our guide took us to neighborhoods we never would have seen otherwise, including a market where locals shop for their ingredients. I could have stayed all day! My only disappointment was not getting a bite of the crispy, foot-long pork roast that had apparently just emerged from the oven. It was so perfect I didn’t believe it was real, until the butcher broke open the beautiful crispy skin with a sudden jab of his thumb! His pride and joy at my surprise was priceless—as was seeing the variety of meats and cheeses available in a local market. We took the tour around 11 am and should have skipped breakfast. Our stops included wine (several actually), assorted antipasti (meats and cheeses), fresh bread from a bakery, fresh pasta (several choices, which we ordered and shared), and one of the best gelatos in Florence. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable, and made the whole day memorable. I wish we had taken this tour earlier in our trip to get her recommendations for other restaurants and food stops to try. With so many phenomenal choices in Florence, a local’s suggestions are really helpful to make the most of a visit there.

5.00A great mix of history, culture, food and wine. We strolled through Florence learning of its culture and people, indulging in wonderful cuisine, and getting tips for things to see for the rest of our stay in Florence. We did the food tour in the evening, and it made for a great night out. Highly recommend.
