Our tour guide (Teddy) was fabulous. She went above and beyond to share her knowledge of Florences’ history, architecture, arts, culture and of course local food. I was so impressed with her ability to relate to each of us and her genuine interest in learning a little about each of us during the tour. This was by far the best food tour I have ever taken and we cannot thank our guide enough for the incredible experience she provided us. So grateful.
