Perfect taste of Florence

Published on Jun, 2024

Our tour guide, Martina, was the perfect mix of knowledge and great personality! Also, her selections of the local market and bistros were perfect. We would highly recommend Martina and the tour.

Florence highlight!

By far the best thing we did in Italy! Learning about history and culture through food with Linda was an incredible experience. She is knowledgeable, fun, generous, and brilliant. Linda took me, my husband and my two adult children through the Florence market. We ate, we learned, we drank, and we laughed. We didn’t want it to end. Will not travel to Italy again without another experience with Linda. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Martina was excellent! All Our food stops and the central market were so good. Her local knowledge made the tour that much better.

Buono!

Guilia was incredible. She communicated with us before the tour, and the meeting place was very clear. We loved every stop, every moment of the tour. After we were done, Guilia sent us a list of all of the stops, and we went back to the restaurant and the gelato shop the next day! Arrive hungry…it’s a lot of food, but so worth it! And Guilia even helped us with our Italian lessons! Highly recommended.

Guila was fantastic. She has such great knowledge of food, the local area as well as the history and a wonderful sense of humor. She made us feel at ease and although we tried everything she put before us we had our favorite and least favorite foods. Thanks Guila for a wonderful time out.
