Lorenzo was wonderful. A local Florentine that was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He gave us great tips about how to experience the less touristy areas of the city. Would 100% recommend. We enjoyed pastries and coffee, cheese and meats, bread, wine, cantucchi, gelato, and more.
