Florence Street Food Tour And Sightseeing With Central Market

Tried a good range of foods and were given wine, (despite the tour description saying drinks were not included), which was a nice surprise. The market was fantastic, loved trying all the different oils vinegars and pesto.

This excursion was awesome. Serena was our guide she was wonderful. So friendly, full of information, lovely girl. We would definitely do this again. Go hungry because there is lots of food options.

I really loved our tour guide Sarina. She knew a lot about the history of the culture and the background, and she truly made it of most enjoyable journey.

It’s a great introduction to some good food available by an easy walk around the central historical area. Manny was an engaging guide and if the other couples and families on our tour are anything to go by, it’s a fun way to meet some people from other places

We had a great time with Francesco. He was very informative & interesting. We ate great food, & tasted olive oil & balsamic vinegar. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

Francesco was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered information that kept us both informed and laughing. We made many stops and left too full to have lunch.

Our guide was amazing!! We loved the tour so much to sample. We were stuffed when it was finished. Loved the history lesson!

Highly recommend adding this very cool and interesting experience to your Florence itinerary! A perfect way to spend an afternoon! Anna our guide was so knowledgeable and fun! 5 stars!

We toured all the local spots in different neighborhoods. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on food, art, wine and all things in Florence! The food was incredible! Highly recommend this tour.

Guide was excellent, unfortunately can't recall his name. A nice way to explore Florence - more info and sights than just food.

Our tour guide Franscisco was awesome. very informative and engaging. great personality. The stops were great and the food was amazing. he had very good insight to offer as well. would definetly recommend.

Food and drink is absolutely fantastic on this tour. There was a wide variety and plenty of it with excellent quality. Central Market and lunch stops are particularly good and entertaining. Our guide actually was not that good but the food was so good it more than made up for that.

I scheduled this tour last minute bc our first day in Florence was going to be very rainy so I figured a tour that spent much time inside the market and food venues would be a good way to get a feel for the city but stay mostly out of the weather. I was a little hesitant to book a group tour because we were traveling with our two teenagers who had not been abroad before and really wanted to make sure. They were engaged with the guide and the information. Could not be more happy with our experience! Our guide, Dila, was AWESOME! our group was just the four of us and two couples from Israel, so eight in total. Dila was super knowledgeable, engaging, interactive, and our kids loved her. She took us to so many delicious places, factored in various dietary requirements of those on the tour plus was flexible and added in things we had read about and wanted to try. The Central Market portion of the tour was really cool--she took us to a vendor there who had tastings prepared for us (truffle honey, balsamic vinegar of different ages, olive oils, etc)--we learned a ton amd had a blast. It was a great value, too! We did several private tours during our trip and they were awesome too but quite expensive. The two group tours we booked through trip advisor, including this one, were two of our favorite experiences in Italy for 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of private tours. Highly recommend this tour and if you can get Dila as your guide all the better! She spent a lot of one-on-one time with both our family and the Israeli group afterward making personalized recommendations--we bought a beautiful belt for our son from a leather artisan she recommended, loved the gelato and cocktail spots she suggested, and had a delicious dinner at a small family (non touristy) restaurant she told us about. Great experience!!

Our guide Giordano was excellent. He cared for our group. He had great English language and explained everything very well and he walked at a pace we could all keep up. He was warm, kind and professional. We sampled many things; our favourites were the Mercato Centrale (learned a lot about truffles from a shop keeper plus we sampled beautiful pasta); the most delicious thing was the gelato at the end. The tour went for 2.5 hours at least. Please tip tour guides for good service. We did because it makes a big difference.

I took this tour as something to fill my morning and I wasnt disappointed. There was alot of food to taste and I left feeling full. I was also introduced to something I had not had before truffle honey... I would recommend the tour

Lorenzo, our guide was perfecto! This is such a fun way to see Florence and taste what it has to offer. Lorenzo’s knowledge of the neighborhood around Mercato Centrale and Florence, in general, can’t be beat. We returned to the bakery and truffle shop to get more. If I could give more stars I would.

Excellent and enthusiastic guide. The market, the restaurant and the ice cream place and the bakery have been high standard too. I would definately recommend this experience to anyone.

Dilara was a very enthusiastic guide always checking that everybody had all their questions answered. We have had a wonderful experience !

We had a great guide Dela who showed lots of enthusiasm as she took us around central Florence. The market tout was my highlight but so was tasting all the local foods from local producers. Gelato at the end of the tour was also delicious!

Nice variety of food. Would do it again. Pasta at a family run restaurant where we seemed to be the only tourists there.

We had a great time on this tour. Aurora was very knowledgeable about the food in Florence. We took a stroller and two little ones and she was very accommodating for our needs.

We loved walking through the neighborhood and tasting food at out of the way places. Our guide Marie Lisa (I know I am butchering her name) was wonderfully full of information. The food was all delicious.

This activity is definitely recommended. You get to see the central.parts of Florence and experience various foods that you would not discover on your own. You will also get to hear about some of the sights in Florence. The guide was vibrant and enthusiastic about her town and culture.

This tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. As first-time visitors to Florence, we thought this was a great way to get oriented to the city. We learned lots of interesting facts about Florence, got to taste a variety of traditional street foods from different vendors along the route, saw magnificent buildings, statues, museums to return to later, and had ample opportunity to talk with fellow guests, food vendors and our guide. Ended with a great stop for authentic gelato, which was very welcome on a steaming hot day! We would highly recommend this tour - our guide Dilara was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was enjoying the food, culture, and history of Florence. We really appreciated the extra time and attention Dilara spent with each guest group at the end of the tour, advising on what they should see next and how to get there. Great experience!

Mara Lisa was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and super friendly. She gave us lots of advice on things to see and try! Loved the tour! Lots to see and awesome food to try!
