No city does food quite like Florence, and on our Food Tour, you’ll experience the Tuscan capital through your taste buds. Led by an expert guide, you and a group of fellow foodies will explore the artisan district of Oltrarno, tasting the best of Tuscan cuisine and learning to eat like a true Florentine. Skip the stress of planning and let us handle all the logistics with pre-booked tables, priority service, and a curated menu and itinerary.

Savour Florentine cheeses and meats, sip local wine, bite into crispy schiacciata bread, and finish with creamy gelato. Your guide will share the history of Florence’s cuisine and a style of cooking that uses local, seasonal ingredients to create hearty dishes like pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale. You’ll learn about the long-standing traditions of Tuscan cooking and meet the locals who keep these traditions alive.
