Alice was very friendly and shared some very authentic foods with us. Great last minute tour!
Great variety of local stores, market stalls and hole-in-the-wall surprises. Very knowledgeable and interesting guide (Alici). Highly recommended.
We tried a lot of different food, and everything was delicious! Our guide was very experienced and made the tour really fun. It was a great way to explore Florence, discover local food, and learn a bit about the city along the way
Our guide Alice was very knowledgeable about the history of the foods in Florence. She was very enthusiastic and took us to places to try the local "working class" food. There were a lot of options to satisfy everyone's preferences. It was an extremely enjoyable event!
ANTONIO, the guide was exceptional!! We ate alot of food and it was the right time length.
We had a wonderful experience on our food tour . we had a wonderful tour guide, Julia(?), who was very knowledgeable and took us to yummy locations for cheese, wine, savories, desserts. She was timely and new a lot about the local historic spots as well . I found Florence to be quite enormous and found that this tour helped focus on locations that I would not have found on my own . Highly recommend.
Alice was a great guide, passionate about Food, helpful, attentive. We stayed in a market for a while tasting produce from there, dishes that are truly from Florence and from centuries ago: we tested fresh tomatoes, apricots, plums prepared for us at the market. It was excellent. A mix between food and history, very enlightening. We finished with Gelato, perfect. Thank you Alice!
I am visiting Florence with my husband and 19 year old daughter. It’s our first time in Italy. We’ve been here 3 days and done several other tours and this one is HANDS DOWN our favorite!! Our tour guide, Martina “Tina”, was exceptional! She made us feel like old friends visiting from out of town. She took us places and introduced us to local favorites that we would never had known to ask for without her inside knowledge. She was the perfect balance of providing historical and local information with time for us to experience the food/location on our own as well, without feeling pressured or pressed for time. She always assured us if we felt too full or unsure of something we had never tried…that she would not be upset with us. That made us feel better as we didn’t want to offend her. This tour was amazing- in fact, my family and I are going back to a few of the spots she took us to to eat again! Ask for Martina!!
Our guide Alice kept the pace steady and informative. She fed us lots of food samples and the history of Florentine favorites. Most of all she was considerate of our jet lag and how tired we were so made sure we were near seats. Good overview of Central Market.
Amazing experience- great way to enjoy local favorites with wonderful stories and historical information. Alice was the best!
Alice was amazing! Great knowledge and very friendly
Our guide Alison was fabulous!! We had so much fun and enjoyed some delicious food and wine! Highly recommend!
Knowledgeable, amicable tour guide! Great food!
Our family of 5 including our 3 kids ages 7-12 had a wonderful time! Alice our guide was fantastic. She was kind and very knowledgeable about the foods in Florence. She took us to places we would not have found on our own. We would definitely book this again!
We had an excellent tour with Alice today! We had 4 kiddos with us (age 6-10) and she was great with them! A couple of the stops were food we wouldn’t normally pick out so it was nice to try things we wouldn’t usually get!
A Highlight of Our Time in Florence! Absolutely loved our Streaty Food Tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging — we learned so much while tasting amazing local food. It felt like the perfect blend of history, culture, and fun. The whole team clearly knows their city inside and out. Booking was super easy, and the staff were so kind and responsive — a real pleasure to work with. We came from Canada, and this was one of the best experiences of our trip. If you want to explore Florence like a local and eat your way through its hidden gems, this tour is a must! 🍝🍷🇮🇹
Absolutely horrible! There were 4 of us in the group and none of us could find the tour guide, took forever. The food choices were disgusting and I am not picky. I travel lots and love doing food tours and this was the worst tour by far I have ever had. We waited 30 minutes for her to get us food at the first stop. None of us could hear her so we didn’t learn anything about the food. We passed some food that actually looked yummy and she said this is very good you have to try this some time which was weird. If it’s very good why didn’t she have us try it? The tour ended an hour earlier than it was supposed to. I don’t think the guide was their normal guide. She had a name badge and it wasn’t her on the picture. I honestly could have given a better food tour. How can you even pick gross food on an Italian food tour? Italy has amazing food! We didn’t eat any pasta and cannolis or anything you would expect. And we hardly had any tastings. We were so bummed we wasted our day and it’s not easy driving in to Florence. Tons of traffic.
Alice is amazing! So knowledgeable and took us to the perfect spots for a true experience of the people of Florence! Highly recommend this tour!
Giulia was amazing and so much fun!! Her knowledge of Florence and the culture was very interesting and you could see she lives what she does. We would certainly do another tour with her and would recommend her to anyone!!
We were a small group of 6 and our guide Gulia was fantastic! She was full of information and the sweetest. We experienced authentic food in Florence and of course…wine 😊 We enjoyed this tour and our group so much and was one of our favorite things we experienced in Florence!! Highly recommend
This was a fantastic food tour. Alice really showed us a little bit of what it was like to live and eat in Florence just like Fiorentini. The market, the different bites from known to unique and of course the best Gelato in Florence ;)... Truly enjoyed it.
Second Streaty tour we have booked (first one in Palermo). Tina was a great tour guide, very informative and passionate about the local food. Good selection and plenty of food and wine throughout. Would highly recommend when in Florence to get a good idea of the local cuisine - even the lampredotto!!
This was one of our favorite outings in Italy. I travelled with my mom (70) and my two adult brothers, one of whom is a chef. All four of us loved learning from Alice. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun to talk to. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour for anyone curious about the traditional foods of Florence.
Great way to see Florence and try local foods. Our tour guide Alicce was fabulous. An absolute must do in Florence. Say yes to this!
We had a wonderful time. Learned so much about the city, buildings, people throughout the centuries and the food was phenomenal. I cannot say enough about our tour guide Viola, she was so nice and accommodating and very knowledgable. I highly recommend. .
Great tour with amazing food and excellent tour guide. Would highly recommend. Nice walk through Florence with many delicacies!
Alice was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! The food was amazing as well, especially the Lampredotto! Make sure you try it without prejudice ☺️ Lovely experience.
An amazing tour by Alice. So informative and friendly. The food was outstanding and we got to see and taste the real Florence.
Best walking food tour I’ve ever been on. We were fortunate enough to only have three of us and our 8 month old baby. Everyone was incredibly welcoming to our son and even offered him food of his own so he loved it. Would highly recommend, so much food and all different so you get your moneys worth very quickly. Tina was great taking us around and really looked after us.
We tried a great variety of local Florence dishes! Our tour Giulia was very nice and knew so much about the history in Florence. She was very helpful with suggestions!
Giulia was amazing!! We had a great food tour and all the stops were delicious! She was so fun and inviting! Great tour! 10/10!
Our guide, "Alice" was so knowledgeable and personable. She made the tour interesting and fun! Loved all of the tastings! The market was incredible! So much beautiful fresh produce, cheese and meat. It's hard to say which food tasting was the best because everything we sampled was so good.
Streety never disappoints! This is absolutely the best way to get familiar with a foreign town, and at the same time, eat things you would never experience. Angelo our guide was fun and told us so much history about the food traditions of Palermo.
We had a wonderful food Tour with our native guide, Gulia. She was an absolute delight, and was full of knowledge about the city and its culture. We enjoyed that she took us to some more off-the-beaten-path spots for food.
Our guide Tina was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Our first stop was a bakery with "true" biscuits and wine to dunk them. There were some unusual tastings which most of the group enjoyed. The final stop was gelato of course, and it was delicious.
Tina was amazing and very vibrant! Would love to do it again! Thank you for the wonderful tour! Very happy with everything we done!
Alice was a truly amazing guide and helped us have a wonderful experience! We felt like we really got to try some authentic Florentine food and eat like the locals. It was a relaxed walk through the various neighbourhoods with Alice sharing her expert knowledge as we went, giving recommendations of places to come back to after the tour ended, as well as answering questions about the local area and Florence as a whole. Great tour and couldn't recommend Alice as a guide any stronger, she was fantastic!
Our family had an incredible experience on this food tour in Florence with Alice (pronounced, “a-LEE-chay”). From the very beginning, her warmth, energy, and passion for her city were contagious. As a native Florentine, Alice brought a personal touch to everything—sharing not just food, but the deep cultural roots and stories behind each bite. One standout moment was trying a traditional Florentine sandwich made with beef and tripe, dripping in its juices and spices — rich, savory, and reminiscent of a Chicago Italian beef, but easily ten times better. It’s the kind of local specialty we never would’ve found (or tried!) on our own, and Alice’s context made it all the more memorable. Beyond the food, she gave us insightful tips on where to eat, shop, and explore - gems only a true local would know. Her storytelling added beautiful layers of history and tradition, helping us see Florence through her eyes. This wasn’t just a tour - it was a heartfelt introduction to the spirit of Florence, and Alice was the perfect guide. Highly recommended to anyone looking to experience the city in a meaningful and delicious way. Grazie mille, Alice!

We had such a good time on this tour! It was laid back, small and didn’t take itself too seriously which is exactly what we wanted. We tried foods we hadn’t seen or heard of yet in our trip either, so that is a success!
This was fantastic!! Our tour guide Martina took us to the best places. We tried foods we loved but never would have thought to try. I highly recommend this tour. I would be happy to take this every day.
Alice was fantastic - so friendly and warm, and she provided a lot of interesting information along the way. And the food was wonderful! This was the perfect way to start our stay in Florence. Highly recommend!
I am so very happy that I took this tour with my wife and daughter, it was one of the very best things we did here in Florence. Our tour guide Alice was so friendly and knowledgeable, we just fell in love with her! And honestly the food we had here was some of the very best we had - better than some of the expensive restaurants we visited. This charcuterie board blew my mind, THE best I've ever sampled.
The tour was awesome. Our tour guide, Giulia, made the tour special by bringing us into the story of Florence and its culinary history as we visted small food shops as well as the market. Giulia, also snuck in a few foods that we may have not tried on our own. All was delicious! The Gelato was the topping on the cake... so good.
My husband and I had a fabulous experience during our tour today. We were taken off the beaten path to experience Florence like a local. Gabriel‘s passion and knowledge was obvious. Lastly, I am a wheelchair user and was nervous that this might be a setback for the tour but Gabriel was professional and so kind, ensuring everything we did was also accessible for me. I highly recommend this tour and plan to book in another city during our next visit. Ciao!!
Our food tour of Florence was SO FUN...and delicious! Our guide was Tina and she was wonderful! I would highly recommend this experience!
We had the pleasure of doing two food walking tours while in Florence. Both were incredible. This tour was so special, as it was just me and my wife with Alice, the guide. We were able to try 9 dishes across 6 locations. And that doesn’t even count getting to try a few different samples at the market. Highly recommend the street food tour and make sure to as for Alice, because she was incredible.
It was raining but Alice made it fun. Went to a market. Tasted all over. Fun time. Gelato at th end. Get crema
What a fantastic food tour! Alice was a wonderful guide and took us through the streets of Firenze, where we got to try foods that locals eat. I found a few new favorites (lampredotto and riboletta) before we ended the tour with a beautiful cup of gelato. I have already recommended this tour to friends and will continue to do so - this is an activity not to be missed! If you’re a foodie, book this now!
