Traveler reviews
Brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable experience
Brilliant experience. Mixed a walking historical tour of Florence Central area and several tasty small eats with samples of local wine. Antonio is a superb host with Infectious enthusiasm and makes this tour even better. Would definitely recommend this for anyone considering it. We did this tour the first evening in Florence and went back to several eateries during our stay.
Brilliant and lively historical and gastro tour in Florence
We completely loved the walking tour that combined historic landmarks, information about Florence and food and wine sampling. This involved visiting several quirky places we would otherwise have never come across. Antonio is a great host. Full of Infectious enthusiasm and charm. The 3 hours passed very quickly. We definitely had our fill. The food was fabulous and finished with a wonderful gelato. I would definitely recommend this tour. Everything worked as expected and on time.
Fun and engaging tour and learn more than you thought you would
Antonio was our guide, a charismatic and engaging tour of Florence. We learned to look up to see hidden gems and we also learned about some historical interesting facts that were right in front of us. One example is how USA was named America…go on the tour and learn! The food locations were very local with rich history, we highly recommend this tour!!
Great food and guide for this trip
Antonio was a great guide! Learned so many interesting facts about the history of Florence and regional cusine. Would recommend to everyone!
Great Guide, Food, and History
Antonio was an amazing guide, as he was very detail-oriented across the history and food throughout our tour in early October. We ended up being the only two people on the tour, so this made the trip extra special throughout. Leena and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a food + history tour while in Florence.
