Florence Central Market Food & Wine Tour With Eating Europe

Toured with Kiara, who is a knowledgeable and friendly host. An excellent food tour around the markets learning about and sampling traditional Tuscan foods and wine.

Chiara A. “Kiara”…. Was a friendly down to earth very knowledgeable tour guide. This was a very small group… super intimate. All questions were welcome and answered more than sufficiently. We got to see the neighborhood market… taste the Florentine delicacies… meet small run business’s… “real people “…. well organized on time and more than value for the money.!

Chiara A (Kiara) was a delight. She was so knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour. We got to eat a bunch of different meats and cheese and biscotti from local vendors and got to try lampredotto which was surprisingly pretty tasty haha. The tour was just enough to be full while also being light enough to walk around comfortably. Would highly recommend!

Our tour with Kiara was amazing! She brought us all around the Central Market neighborhood and the Central Market itself. She has so much information about all the food of Florence and the Market, and was super fun and kind! Every stop along the way was fun, informative, and tasty. The food (and plenty of wine!) was so good and I’d recommend the tour and Kiara to anyone who has a morning available in Firenze!

Great great great tour! Ella was amazing! Do yourself a favor and book with here!!!!! The restaurant/ bars/ and shops were great. I mentioned it was my wife’s birthday and she set up a be cheer for her! I’m in dented to her for giving us a great experience!

Very good tour guide was great and fun to be with , the food and wine was fantastic

I enjoyed the Florence Central Market Tour with Sara D. Wasn't a huge fan of the lampredotto, but I'm glad I tried it because I saw the street stands everywhere. The cantucci was delish.

This was a highly enjoyable 3+ hours going through the food types that are typical in Florence - from breakfast cookies to snacks to cheeses/salamies to lunch to wine and finally gelato. We visited individual shops as well as the Central Market which was the main attraction. Our guide was superb! The group was 8 people so it was small and fun. We also asked about other things to do or see in Florence and got a "locals opinion" which is always wonderful.

Martino was an outstanding tour guide, prompt, polite, knowledgeable, and responsive to all questions.the culinary experiences were truly unique and we ate food we had never had before. Thanks to Martino for a truly great day

It was a great local atmosphere. Our guide Sara D was amazing personable, excellent English and very knowledgeable. I would do it again if I ever have the opportunity.

Such an amazing selection of food and drink, some of the best I’ve had in my life, let alone just Italy! A highlight of the trip and made all the more special by Sara D, our amazing guide with a special connection to the area and lovely relationship to the business owners and locals. One of the best parts of our trip so far!

Sara D was such a kind, friendly tour guide who really helped us feel involved with the local shops and local favorites, as well as telling us about Tuscan culture and historical food. You can tell she loves the city and knows it so well. She also is very well travelled and has some great stories about her journeys!

Sara D was an amazing tour guide. Local to the area and very knowledgeable and extremely personable.

Kiara was a wonderful guide - we both enjoyed the tour (very nice to have a small group!). We loved seeing the market and getting a better understanding of the history behind several small, local vendors. Great variety of food and wine samples and we both left with full stomachs.

Kiara was amazing, so knowledgeable and very kind, we had a fabulous time!!!!

Kiara was an amazing tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable and taught us so much about Florence and Italy. The food was also amazing, and I wouldn’t have had any of the things I tried on my own! I’d definitely recommend her and this tour to anyone!

The experience of this private tour has been so amazing. Sara D. has been so fun to do the tour with, very knowledgeable, and the vendors have been so amazing. It’s been such a blast! I highly recommend doing a private tour if you can. The amount of personal attention and ability to ask questions without interruptions from others is beautiful.

Incredible morning being shown around the central market, and getting a taste of variety of vendors. Nadia was so welcoming and getting the local’s experience was special. A must do activity in Florence.

Loved our guide Assia! She was fun, personable and lovely. We enjoyed the restaurants and wine! Highly recommend!

Elisa was fantastic! So was the tour and the food.

We had an amazing time with Eli. All the food was delicious and it was wonderful to meet all the vendors who take such care in the food and wine they produce. Even having visited Florence several times before, I learned so many new things. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Elisa was awesome. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Sarah D. was great. We throughly enjoyed the food tour. It was like being with an old friend. Very lively and didn't feel formatted.

Sarah D was the most amazing tour guide. She extended so much knowledge, and was the kindest person. It truly felt like a friend was showing us around. The tour was about 3 hours long and it was the perfect amount of time. There were breaks and time to just look around. If you ever get the chance to do this tour, DO IT, but most importantly ask for Sarah D!

Sara D was spectacular. She was extremely personable and welcoming throughout the entire tour, making us feel like part of the local experience. Highly recommended this tour, but more specifically Sara D!

Eli is an ameizing guide! It was very interesting to learn the subtleties and funny facts of Florence. The best way to get to know the culture!

Absolutely amazing guide, great story telling, good jokes, amazing food, great wine.

It was awesome. Good variety and great discussion. Small group was great. Lots of explanation and Kiera took the time to make sure we understood everything.

Kiara was absolutely amazing! She made our tour feel authentic and truly immersed us in the Italian culture. Her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm brought every stop to life, and she made us feel like true Italians throughout the experience. She was engaging, personable, and made the entire tour both fun and memorable. If you have the chance to tour with Kiara, don’t hesitate—you’ll have an incredible experience. Highly recommended!

Kiara (Chiara) was fantastic! So knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10 would recommend

Wonderful food and wine tour! Manuel was an amazing guide. His love for Florence and knowledge of the food and wine made for an extra special experience .

Kiara was a wonderful guide to have in the Florence market! Very knowledgeable and fun.

Kiara was an excellent guide around Florence with great insight into the regions food.

We spent a lovely morning with Chiara, the meet up spot was easy to find and she was easily spotted too which was very handy! She took us around some beautiful local food places where she was well known by all the vendors who all made us feel very welcome! She is very clearly passionate about the local cuisine and was very encouraging, even giving us some quizzes to identify the ingredients through taste which was very fun, and patient with as as we tried new things (unfortunately, the Lampredotto was not for me... But my wife loved it!) We really enjoyed the pace of the tour, the atmosphere and the history we learned as we toured the local area, meeting and speaking to the families that have been here for generations and sampling those beautiful wines, meats, cheeses and delicious gelato to end it all (let's not forget the Cantucci which will hold a special place in my heart forever) The price of the tour was well worth the experience, I would recommend the tour and Chiara to anyone who is looking for a relaxed fun afternoon and want to experience proper Firenze cuisine 🩷

Elisa was such a wonderful guide! She was funny, friendly, and gave us great insight and history of the food of Florence.

Kiera was a great guide- gave interesting history, stories and background information. The group size (6 people) was perfect! We sampled a lot of food and wine-more than other food tours I have done.

Amazing tour. Our guide Anto was amazing. I highly recommend this tour if you want a true taste of Florence

Anto was amazing so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and we loved meeting local producers and sellers. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Florence. Thank you so much
