Tastes & Traditions of Florence: Food Tour with Sant'Ambrogio Market Visit

we loved the tour and got a really great helping of local food and traditions (in addition to history along the way). Highly recommend and applaud our guide Paulo F.

Lorenzo is a really knowledgeable and fun tour guide. He really made you feel welcome from the start and shared all kinds of knowledge and facts about both food but also about other life in both the area in question and elsewhere in Italy with us. I enjoyed all the places we visited and all the food we tasted, but my favorite was the little wine shop. I wish I had made it back the next day, but it will have to be next time.

Tiadora was an amazing guide and gave us historic pints of reference for the food and wine we tried but also took us to places we would have never found without her expert guidance. We were able to get a true sense of what makes Florentine cuisine so unique and also see where Florentine residents shop, eat and drink! Such a wonderful and authentic experience! We walked away full, happy and far more knowledgeable regarding Florentine and Tuscan cuisine and wine than when we started! Grazie!

What I look for in a food tour like this is an experience that will enrich my experience and understanding of the place. This did exactly that. We not only had a lovely walk through Florence but also gained a deeper respect for its food culture and the importance of putting effort in to have an authentic local experience. Our tour guide Lorenzo was an absolute delight, brimming with fun, contagious energy and sincere passion and respect for Italy, its food, and its people. We stopped at some real gems and had memorable interactions with local makers and sellers that provided a unique experience we will cherish. This was definitely one of the top highlights of our stay in Florence and in our trip to Italy. Thank you!
