Florence, one sweet at a time
Discover traditional pastry and the best gelato in town on our Florence Dessert Walking Tour, the most delightful way to discover the city's lifestyle. Florentines take their sweets seriously: the city's historic pastry shops have been perfecting their recipes for generations, and gelato as the world knows it owes much of its story to Florence. This private walk is your introduction to that world, guided by a local expert who knows exactly where to find it at its best.
From breakfast to biscuit to hidden gems
Begin the Italian way, with a traditional breakfast at a historic pastry shop, then work through the classics: the most typical of Tuscan biscuits, an irresistible delicacy prepared fresh daily at an authentic pastry shop, and a seasonal surprise chosen by your guide. Along the way you'll wander the winding streets while your guide shares the history of each dessert, its ingredients, and the stories hidden behind Florentine sweets, leading you to lesser-known shops and hidden treasures well away from the tourist hubs.
The grand finale: gelato
No dessert tour of Florence is complete without the city's famous gelato. At one of the best artisanal gelaterias in town, watch skilled gelato makers at work and sample flavours crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients, from beloved classics like stracciatella and pistachio to unique seasonal creations.
