Florence Food Tour: Only What Locals Love

Florence, the way locals eat it

Embark on a delectable food walking tour through the charming streets of Florence, led by a passionate local expert. This is the city's culinary heritage as Florentines actually live it, traditional eateries, no tourist menus, built as a progression of tastings that add up to one delicious argument: the best way to understand Florence is to eat it.

From bakery to enoteca to street food

Begin your adventure with a welcoming baked specialty, then continue to an atmospheric enoteca for an exclusive wine tasting, where your guide shares intriguing anecdotes about Tuscan winemaking traditions. Next comes the flavour Florence is proudest of and visitors least expect: the city's very typical street food, sampled amid the vibrant everyday bustle.

The trattoria and the gelato finale

At a historical local trattoria, taste a typical Tuscan board of appetizers, with the option of a dish of traditional handmade pasta, made fresh daily. Then finish sweet at one of Florence's top gelaterias, where your guide helps you navigate the flavours and explains the artistry behind true artisanal gelato. Throughout the walk, anecdotes, historical tidbits and personal stories build a deeper picture of Florence's culinary culture, the kind of context no menu can give you.

Good to know

The 3-hour tour includes all the tastings, the baked specialty, the enoteca wine tasting, the street food, the trattoria appetizers, the optional fresh pasta, and the gelato, with your expert local guide throughout. The tastings are designed to be filling, so come hungry. Tell us about dietary restrictions or allergies in advance, wear comfortable shoes, and expect the tour to run rain or shine. For first-time visitors and returning food lovers alike, this is the Florence you remember longest: the one you tasted.
