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.

This tour has been such an amazing way to discover the tastes, the places and the culture of Florence.
Our guide Anna was super knowledgeable and she didn't told us just the history of the food, but as local, she shared with us all her family memories related to those delicious foods. It was a real travel through all the senses.
Moreover the food was so good, that I enjoyed every bit of it.
The fact of going to the market was real gold!
