Full description

Discover Florence's hidden gems with an evening Oltrarno walking tour focused on one of the city’s latest trends—tasting wine from the historic wine windows (buchette del vino). Starting from Piazza della Repubblica, stroll through secret corners and Instagram photo spots Florence like the Loggia del Porcellino and Piazza del Limbo. Follow the Vasari Corridor’s path, hear Medici legends, and cross Ponte Vecchio into the heart of the Oltrarno, Florence’s most authentic district. Here, you’ll uncover recently restored wine windows, once used by noble families to sell wine directly to locals. Sip a glass of Tuscan wine served just as it was centuries ago—through a buchetta—while soaking in the neighborhood’s unique charm. A blend of history, taste, and tradition awaits on this unforgettable tour.

Booked as a couples activity. Highly recommend. Alice and Jon were great hosts and the evening was very enjoyable. Meeting other travellers was also a bonus

If anyone is coming to Rome then this is a must do! My 10 year old son absolutely loved it. Pizza and Gelato making at Towns of Italy Cooking Schools. We were the only 2 booked onto the class so it was a lovely private session with our helpful and knowledgeable Italian chef. We made our own pizzas and gelato from scratch and they were absolutely gorgeous. I got asked if I wanted a drink. “Yes please, I would love a Prosecco”. He returned with a bottle! We left with full bellies, graduation certificates and recipes so we can make our own pizzas at home.

Es war ein schöner, lustiger und kurzweiliger Abend. Man sollte aber schon Englisch sprechen können. Es wurde alles toll erklärt. Die Pizza war lecker und das Eis auch. Es gab Wein und alkoholfreie Getränke dazu.
