Excellent wine and food experience in Florence - Eli, our guide, walked the extra mile to transform a great idea into a fantastic execution. She has a great sense of humor, her selection of wines and food in four different places was outstanding. If you want to have a lot of fun with friends, while having dinner: contact her. You will not be disappointed.

Just wonderful! - Elisa took us to some fabulous places where we sampled delightful wine in an old wine cellar, rang the bell at a few wine windows, ate at some great restaurants and finished with some delicious gelato. She was so friendly and knowledgeable making the tour so memorable. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour (see if you can get Elisa!)
