Amazing tour with Erica - We always book a food tour for our first night of international travel when we need a bit of extra hand holding and want to get a feel for a new city. This particular tour was the perfect start to our week in Florence! Our tour guide, Erica, led us on an engaging and delicious tour of the city. Bonus points for her being a chef, she really brought the food to life through her anecdotes and stories! I am a vegetarian and Erica made sure there was something delicious I could eat at each stop (still dreaming of that pappa al pomodoro). The wine was obviously delicious too. Cannot recommend this tour enough. Erica provided a map of recommendations around Florence that quite literally shaped our trip for the rest of the week. Whenever we were exporing a new neighborhood or had a free hour we'd refer to Erica's map for suggestions from a local! THANK YOU for an amazing experience!

Absolutely THE best way to kick off your time in Florence 🥇 - This tour was hands-down the most fun and engaging way to get oriented in the city. And if you’re lucky enough to have Erica as your guide, you’re in for something special! She knows Florence inside and out, from its history to its hidden food gems, and she shares it all with a perfect mix of knowledge, humor, and genuine connection with the group.
We left not only full from an incredible tasting experience, but stocked with a list of great spots to explore for the rest of our stay (I’ll share photos of those recs 🤤). We’ve done simple walking tours before, but this one raised the bar, and convinced us that food tours are the way to start off a city from now on.
Our group clicked so well we actually ended up continuing the night at one of Erica’s favorite Enotecas (amazing wine, unbeatable prices 😉🤌), and the conversation kept flowing long after the tour ended.
TL;DR: Book this tour. You won’t regret it. We’re still raving about it and recommending it to our friends (we’ll totes do it again when we’re in Florence next 😁)

We, 14 of us, enjoyed... - We, 14 of us, enjoyed this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the food of Florence and about Florence in general. The food at the stops were tasty and we had an area all to ourselves at each spot. We did not go away hungry and the walk was not too long. We would do it again.

Oltrarno Food Tour - Amazing - My tour with Erica was one of the highlights of my trip to Florence. Her knowledge of the food of Florence and Tuscany and so many other things in the culture was so much fun and educational in the best way. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Unique way to see the city and learn about local foods. We enjoyed Sophie and her passion for food and Italian culture. - We tried things we definitely wouldn’t have ordered off a menu but were still tasty and helped us learn about the history of the area. We really liked the locations we went to. Only feedback would be too move the pace of the tour a little bit—it took us 3 hours to go to 5 locations, which was leisurely and nice in a lot of ways, but could have been just a little faster.
