Ilaria made our food tour a pleasure from start to finish. She was cordial, pleasant, professional, thorough and engaging. Guides like her are exactly why I keep booking tours like this wherever I travel.

Marta was our guide and was wonderful. She spoke the best English of any tour guide we had and was very informative!! Would highly recommend!
Marta was a fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgeable! The food was unbelievable!
Ilary was wonderful, knowledgeable and nice to be around. Our pace was perfetto. The food and wine delish. A very pleasant experience. One of my favorites.
Guida Turistica was the best !! extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic tour guide.
Knowing only that there was food and drink involved and after a shaky start, we set off around the St Giovani area of Florence to taste different types of food and drink . Food for starters, main course ( sandwich style) pudding and gelato to finish with some wine to help it go down . Excellent tastes, both in food and drink from little side street cafes to restaurants, displaying the choice of street food available, with a little history and background thrown in . Also show cases the evening atmosphere around Florence . Excellent guide making it enjoyable and relaxing.
Silvia is a lovely guide clearly proud of her country, its food and customs. The food choices were delicious. We had one vegetarian in the group and Silvia made sure to accommodate. Highly recommend!
Silvia was a fantastic and lovely guide!
I was visiting from Japan, and thanks to Sylvia, I had a wonderful time.
We had an enjoyable time on the food tour. Sylvia was wonderful…sharing information about the food that Firenze is known for. All the tastings were delicious!
Christiana our guide was very informative and personable.
Silvia was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and friendly and took us to lots of really great places.
Marta really good guide tour !
Sylvia was absolutely fantastic! From the moment our tour started, it was clear how passionate she is about Florence, its history, and especially its incredible food. Her local knowledge was outstanding, and the relationships she has with the vendors made the experience feel so authentic and personal. She encouraged us to step outside our comfort zone and try foods we never would have ordered on our own, and we’re so glad we did. Every stop was delicious, and we left with a much greater appreciation for the local cuisine and culture. Sylvia truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a wonderful experience. If you’re looking for an authentic street food tour with a guide who is knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience, don’t hesitate to book with Sylvia. It was one of the highlights of our time in Florence!
Luisa was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and was pleasant to talk to.
Silvia was amazing she was so informative and sweet! Highly recommend and the food was great!
We had our walking tour with Sylvia, and had a wonderful time! The food stops were well-planned and had a mix of savory and sweet. Definitely come hungry! Sylvia had a ton of knowledge about the city and added fun facts and history throughout the walking tour. This would be perfect for a first day in Florence, giving you a good sampling of famous foods and good walking areas. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Booked the walking street food tour and was very lucky that it turned into a private tour with the wonderful Sylvia!! We had an amazing time on our first day in Florence, the tour not only introduced us to authentic Firenze Street food but also helped us get our bearings in the city. Sylvia was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable both about the food and the city itself. We tried food we would not have otherwise have, wine that has hit and miss due to our palate and ended with the most delicious gelato in the city. No dinner was needed after everything we ate! Would highly recommend this tour and Silvia you are fantastic!
A great, more local food tour of Florence! I’d recommend to an open food traveler
Amazing food tour today with Chiara. She was super friendly, we had a lot of great conversations with her, she taught us a few things about some of the restaurants and food, and obviously had us try some delicious food! I definitely recommend her and this tour. 10/10
Best food tour ever!! Most delicious food in florence with the amazing guide Marta. Must have experience

Silvia. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. So sweet and informative. A great selection of street food tasting. Would highly recommend.
Fun, informative and personal tour focused on Florence street food which gave us a chance to stop and eat things we never would have given a chance.
Marta took the 4 of us on a tasty street food tour. She was engaging, personable and had excellent knowledge of the history of Italian food.
We had an amazing food tour with ilaria. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Loads of florentine food tasting and wine. We highly recommend the tour and with the lovely ilaria.
Our tour with Sylvia was fantastic! She led us through delicious Florentine street food and wine with historical facts along the way. Would recommend this tour to anyone who loves food!
We had the best time being shown around by Silvia! We left stuffed! I do not suggest booking a dinner reservation soon after this tour.
A perfect food tour to do when in Florence! Our guide, Ilaria was very nice and easy to talk to and knowledgeable about the city and its food & history. Our specific tour had 6 stops, including two very local spots a tourist would never find on their own, wine tasting, all’antico vinaio (touristy but very good and nice to see the original location while skipping the line), and two desserts. We had a lovely time and if you are interested in doing a food tour, this is a great option!
Sylvia was fantastic the tour introduced us to the typical florentine street cuisine every morsel that we had to eat and drink was divine.
A great tour with our guide Sylvia. Some delicious food, wine and gelato! Also some very interesting information and sights on the tour. A lovely evening!
Lisa was wonderful, check in with us prior to make sure we were all good with directions etc… Very friendly and knowledgeable of food and the area. The food stops were all wonderful, food was amazing, I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried Chicken liver pate, delicious!! My family and I had a great experience and would love to spend time with Lisa again next time in Firenze!!
A great tour of the local area. You get a full 4 course meal and drinks. Highly recommended for those with an appetite. Come hungry, leave happy.
Wonderful tour and our tour guide Luigi was amazing. He was very knowledgable and knew everyone in town. He provided a nice mix of history and tips for touring the city.
Fun lots of food and drinks Luigi was amazing history of florence was excellent came. from canada and would recommend others to ask for Luigi
We had such a fun time with Alisa! This tour was a great mix of learning about the history of Florence, its architecture while tasting yummy food.! Thank you Alisa for the awesome time!!
It was an incredible experience. It created a connection between food and Italian culture. Our guide, Silvia, always willing to help, told stories, explained about the culture and its relationship with food. Very cool.
Silvia was a great guide! She took my partner and I around Florence and provided lots of history behind the food we ate. She was very personable and kind. You should book with Silvia if you decide on this tour.
We visited several food sites. They all were good. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The tour was just my husband and me.
Marco is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable funny and patient. The market tour was terrific. The food and gelato were delicious. Along the way he showed us historical tidbits that we would have otherwise missed. This tour is highly recommended.
Leandro was brilliant! What an amazing guide and person! He was able to teach us so many things about the history of Florence as well as show us the sights. The food and wine were delicious, but the conversation was the best! Ask for Leandro and you will not be sorry! My husband and I had a wonderful time! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Florence.
Dear Marco, Thank you so much for your fantastic Tour with nice stops in small, fine restaurants. The selection of food and wine was perfect and very plentiful. We had a lot of fun!
Excellent background information and Marco was a very affable gentleman. Coffee and pastry started us off. Next was a tour of the market with cheese and meat, followed by crostini. Then off to All'antico Vinaio for schiacciata. Then wine at a sidewalk wine bar. Finally we enjoyed gelato. We enjoyed our walk very much!
Leonandre was Amazing! All the places he took us for our food samplings were Wonderful! Started at a coffee shop with a pastry and a cappuccino and then to the Market - indoor and outdoor which was truly Amazing! Our sampling with bread, cheeses, prosciutto and salami and wine were also fabulous! Our sandwich at All’Antico with Basil was delicious! The stop at L Fratellini was very Special!! The last stop to get a Gelato was also delicious!! Very knowledgeable about the history of Florence! Truly a very Fun Experience! Wendy and Clay from Alabama!
Our guide was so so lovely and we had a great group. All of the food we tried was amazing and made the price great value for money!
Sylvia was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide, food stops were very good accompanied with nice local wine. Lots of local stops and street food stops were very enjoyable.
Secilia was very knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed spending time with her, hearing about local Tuscan food and sampling it, and walking around the city. Would highly recommend!
Not so good. The tour guide seemed to be a last minute replacement.. Nice enough but did not really address the whole group or seem very knowledgeable about the subject. I can not suggest this tour.
