Itinerary
Visit a beloved Florence bakery, a community cornerstone for over 60 years. Taste their schiacciata and coccolo (fried dough balls) filled with Tuscan prosciutto and stracchino, crafted daily with love by Ivana Bruschi and her son Luciano.
Mercato Centrale is a vibrant food market in the heart of Florence, offering a wide variety of fresh local products, gourmet foods, and traditional Italian specialties. It’s a must-visit for food lovers, featuring both artisanal stands and casual eateries.
Step into a true Florence wine institution, run by the second and third generations of a family of sommeliers. Taste their Chianti Classico, Chianti Riserva, and Super Tuscan wines, all crafted on the family’s own farm.
Walk down Via dell’Amorino and uncover the neighborhood’s hidden past. Once known for its historic brothels and prostitution, this street reveals a fascinating layer of the city’s social and cultural history.
This stop it's all about certified organic ingredients and a sustainable philosophy. The shop offers a warm atmosphere and over 300 organic and biodynamic wines. Here we're going to taste Tagliolini al Tartufo (fresh truffle) and Tortelli Mugellani with wild boar, paired with Orange wine.
Once home to the powerful Medici family, this palace is known for its Renaissance architecture and stunning frescoes, a key cultural landmark in the city.
Pass by the palace of Emilio Pucci, the designer who invented Italy's kaleidoscope print and dressed Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, its walled-in window tied to one of Florence's oldest legends
How often do you get your Tuscan Wine poured through a centuries-old wine window before descending into the historic cellar of the illustrious Pucci family? Then, savor the crown jewel of local cuisine: the legendary Fiorentina steak, served rare to preserve its authentic flavor, with a glass of Maremma Toscana DOC wine and a classic pappa al pomodoro.
Ready for authentic, artisan gelato? Learn how to spot the fake one and enjoy one of the city's best made with fresh, natural ingredients.
End the tour at Florence’s Duomo, marvel at Brunelleschi’s dome, Giotto’s bell tower, and the Baptistery’s mosaics and “Gates of Paradise”, true icons of the city’s art, architecture, and history.

Such quaint and great places. The best food We have had on our trip!!!!!

A most wonderful experience. Off the beaten path into real local Florence food and wine. Our best tour in Florence! Alice was so sweet…treated us like family. would give 10 stars If I could. Thank you Alice, for helping create such a lovely experience for my family!
Excellent!!!!!! Loved the experience. Tina was great! The places we visited were exceptional!! Love it!!!
Loved Martina! Best tour ever and stops were the best!
Tina was extremely knowledgeable and fun. I would highly recommend booking with Tina at eating Europe.
Tina was undoubtedly the best, most informed guide we have had in 50 years of touring. Phenomenal evening!
Federica was awesome! She was quick to develop a rapport with our group of about 10, with 5 of us meeting for the 1st time. The food, wine and stories shared were all good. I liked that she brought us to the "food market" so we can come back on our own to try even MORE food and wine. What better way to end our evening together than with Gelato! Molte grazie!
Bea was amazing! So knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful experience with Bea. We learned so much about Florence and enjoyed such good food. Definitely a 5 star experience.
incredible experience, amazing guide, love every step i took.
What a perfect evening in Florence! A great primer to get the lay of the land and a taste of tuscany. Our guide was the best.
Highly recommend this tour. Tina was an exceptional guide. Very informative and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed
Tina was amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and so passionate. Made the wine, food and learning really become a beautiful immersive experience.
Assia was a fun, informative and easy to talk with. She but I may gave a great food tour, but also gave us details of the local history along with hints for restaurants and shopping!
Yummy food and delicious tour :)
Alice was phenomenal — she was great with questions and recommendations. The tour was a GREAT way to see the city and experience the culture. 10/10 must do!!!
For a food tour like this the guide is very important and Martina was brilliant. She was friendly, witty and knowledgeable and keen to share her knowledge of the local food and wine of which she was very proud. We tried starters from a local bakery owned by a 97 year old lady. Tied 3 red wines poured for us by the wine maker. Then had 2 pasta dishes at next stop one with truffles which was delicious. Then on to have steak at the next restaurant. The steak was rare, no choice about that, so not for you if you like it well done. We finished the evening very happily with gelato. So I would recommend the tour if you enjoy red wine and steak .
Bea was an amazing tour guide! She was very personable and very knowledgeable about every stop we took. She explained everything we did and gave extra knowledge when questions were asked! Highly recommend!
Excellent experience and our tour guide Martina was amazing. Would definitely book again.
Alice made our Eating Europe tour in Florence absolutely unforgettable! From the very first stop, her enthusiasm for Florentine food, history, and culture was completely infectious. She took us well beyond the standard tourist spots to discover incredible local gems, explaining the tradition and technique behind every single bite. Whether sharing the story behind authentic schiacciata, guiding us to the absolute best gelato in the city, her recommendations were top-tier. What really sets Alice apart is her warm, engaging personality and her deep connection to the city. She answered all our questions with warmth and humor, giving us fantastic local recommendations for the rest of our trip. If you are taking an Eating Europe tour in Florence, hope you get Alice as your guide.
Alice in florence is AMAZING and the food was delicious. best food tour i have been on.

Antonella did an amazing job with our Florence food tour!!! It was the best way to celebrate our 24th anniversary! The food, history, humor, and advice were fantastic - as were our other fellow food tourists. Highly recommend doing this.
This was by far our favorite tour during our 2 week Italian vacation! Nadia was absolutely fantastic, she cultivated such a fun and welcoming environment for strangers to turn into friends. And the food was delicious! We wouldn’t have found these spots on our own. Overall, we’re so glad we booked this tour and will recommend to all our friends and family coming to Florence!

Beatrice was amazing! Extremely informative and loved every stop on this tour!! 10/ 10 recommend!!
Delicious food and company was great. Winery could have been a bit shorter or more organized (the shop owner could have opened the bottles and explained instead of having to get him To open the next while we waited (cellar was warm). Overall wine was great! Beatrice was very knowledgeable!
