Tour advertised is not what was received - 5 tastings not 6 - and the “tastings” mean wine AND food, so we visited 3 places total, one of which was gelato. Misleading advertising and for what we paid for the tour, we left feeling scammed and very disappointed.

This was the perfect intro to Florence food for our family of 5 (kids 14, 10, 8) on our first night in Florence. Elisabetta is passionate about all things Florence and introduced us to some of the unique places and flavors of the region. We tried everything from sandwiches and tripe to pasta, pastry and of course the best gelato spot in town! Topped off with a glass of wine and a coffee, it was an ideal evening.

We could not hear our tour guide through our tour. Head sets should be used. Our first sample of food which was a cookie and espresso occurred 1.25 hours into the tour.

Giorgio Piccini was our guide. He was friendly and informative. He taught us so much about Florence’s history, architecture, favorite pastimes, areas, shopping and food. He really helped us newcomers learn so much about Florence.

This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very considerate of my 74 years! She seemed to have a friendly working relationship with the merchants, which enabled us to avoid standing in any long serving lines. Overall, the tour was excellent!

Our tour guide was amazing. She had the opportunity to show us various locations and expose us to foreign dishes that we hadn't experienced before. I cannot stress enough how much I endorse Alessandra Bini; she is unparalleled in her excellence.

Our guide was wonderful. She brought us to loads of local gems. She convinced me to try truffle cheese & it was amazing! She went out of her way to find a few other shops for things not food related I was searching for & had great recommendations for several other shops.This experience was a culinary delight. 3 hours went by in minutes.

Our tour guide Christy was very knowledgeable of the food in Firenze and took care to explain the history and process of how the food is made. She also took the time to get to know us so she could recommend the best food for us. She even took the time to get a taxi for us at the end of the tour. Thank you Christy, it was very nice meeting you!
