Great value! Highly recommend. - Our guide was warm, friendly, informative and funny. This tour was a highlight of our trip. The food was delicious every place we went. This is big value for the price. Highly recommend. Do this at the beginning of your visit as you will get lots of tid bits about where to go, visit, eat, etc.

Great time! - Our tour guide, Sara, did an excellent job.
Explained everything well and spoke very good English. Plenty of food so that this replaced our lunch. Nice combo of food and drinks and historical facts.

Exceptional guide and an enjoyable walking tour - This walking tour of Florence was blended with eating some local food and learning about some interesting facts about the city and its history. Our guide, Lorenzo was exceptional!! Knowledgeable, funny and incredibly engaging!! The tour was just over 2.5 hours and flew by! I liked that we were a small group of 15. Highly recommend this tour.

Great experience and you will see the real Florence - Great experience of Florence with an amazing guide and lovely food. I’d highly recommend this everyone coming to Florence for a few days and do this at the beginning of your visit.
We ate at an amazing restaurant (L’ Raddi) that we would never have found but for the guide’s recommendation and are going back to some of the markets today.

One of my 2 favorite... - One of my 2 favorite tours! We loved the market and all the tasting. The olive oil/vinegar market was particularly enjoyable, with a variety of tasting I was not expecting. The variety was good, the guide, Sara, was fun and you could tell she knew and enjoyed her subject. Everything was delicious, and we certainly did not need lunch that day!
