Traveler reviews
Must do food tour for the real taste of Florence, great food, top value and good fun!
Fantastic food tour with Anna. Small group. Having grown up in Florence Anna knew all the best places to visit. She explained the history of the city and also the food, it brought the city to life and time flew by. We tried coccoli, chianti, papa, mushrooms/liver pate/cheese on bread, ragu/tomato sauce and pasta with the most delicious ice-cream to finish. We had sites of the city pointed out on the way while we strolled. The shop owners all were very welcoming from the 97yr Nona to the singing pasta restaurant owner. We met people from USA, Germany and Vietnam and all chatted while we tasted. It was an extremely lovely way to spend the evening. We certainly didn't need any dinner afterwards - just a few cocktails at Eby's! This was our very first food tour - we'll be booking up more when we are away exploring next.
Not to be missed
Paolo was the life of the party! He shared tons of personal stories and insights into the area thru his own eyes as a life long resident of the Green district. The pasta was a highlight. Husband said it was the best he’s ever had. Gelato was to die for. Definitely go for the stories, enjoy the food!
Nice tour, decent overview of the basics
It was nice. Food was good and filling, but not extraordinary. Would give it 3.5 stars
