Delicious and fun food tour - Our family of 5 including our 3 kids ages 7-12 had a wonderful time! Alice our guide was fantastic. She was kind and very knowledgeable about the foods in Florence. She took us to places we would not have found on our own. We would definitely book this again!

Great tour with Alice - We had an excellent tour with Alice today! We had 4 kiddos with us (age 6-10) and she was great with them! A couple of the stops were food we wouldn’t normally pick out so it was nice to try things we wouldn’t usually get!

A Highlight of Our Time in Florence! - A Highlight of Our Time in Florence! Absolutely loved our Streaty Food Tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging — we learned so much while tasting amazing local food. It felt like the perfect blend of history, culture, and fun. The whole team clearly knows their city inside and out. Booking was super easy, and the staff were so kind and responsive — a real pleasure to work with. We came from Canada, and this was one of the best experiences of our trip. If you want to explore Florence like a local and eat your way through its hidden gems, this tour is a must! 🍝🍷🇮🇹

Fantastic Food Tour. - This was a fantastic food tour. Alice really showed us a little bit of what it was like to live and eat in Florence just like Fiorentini. The market, the different bites from known to unique and of course the best Gelato in Florence ;)... Truly enjoyed it.

Great food tour, great guide! - Second Streaty tour we have booked (first one in Palermo). Tina was a great tour guide, very informative and passionate about the local food. Good selection and plenty of food and wine throughout. Would highly recommend when in Florence to get a good idea of the local cuisine - even the lampredotto!!

This was one of our... - This was one of our favorite outings in Italy. I travelled with my mom (70) and my two adult brothers, one of whom is a chef. All four of us loved learning from Alice. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun to talk to. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour for anyone curious about the traditional foods of Florence.

Horrible - Absolutely horrible! There were 4 of us in the group and none of us could find the tour guide, took forever. The food choices were disgusting and I am not picky. I travel lots and love doing food tours and this was the worst tour by far I have ever had. We waited 30 minutes for her to get us food at the first stop. None of us could hear her so we didn’t learn anything about the food. We passed some food that actually looked yummy and she said this is very good you have to try this some time which was weird. If it’s very good why didn’t she have us try it? The tour ended an hour earlier than it was supposed to. I don’t think the guide was their normal guide. She had a name badge and it wasn’t her on the picture. I honestly could have given a better food tour. How can you even pick gross food on an Italian food tour? Italy has amazing food! We didn’t eat any pasta and cannolis or anything you would expect. And we hardly had any tastings. We were so bummed we wasted our day and it’s not easy driving in to Florence. Tons of traffic.
