Join me as we explore the city’s vibrant markets, hidden trattorias, and artisan food shops. From savory delights to sweet treats, this tour will give you a true taste of Florence and the Tuscany region.

Tour Highlights:

• Florence’s Historic Food Markets: We’ll begin at one of Florence’s bustling food markets, like the Mercato Centrale, where you can discover the finest local ingredients. You’ll have the chance to taste fresh produce, cheeses, meats, and homemade specialties while learning about the importance of these foods in Florentine cuisine.
• Tuscan Street Food: Florence is known for its delicious street food, and you’ll get to taste some of the city’s most famous snacks. From lampredotto (a traditional sandwich made with tripe) to schiacciata (Tuscan focaccia bread), I’ll guide you through the flavours that locals love and that are often overlooked by tourists.
• Tuscan Cheeses and Charcuterie: No food tour in Tuscany would be complete without sampling the region’s delicious cheeses and cured meats. We’ll stop at local delicatessens to try pecorino, finocchiona, and other regional delicacies, paired with artisan breads and local olive oil.
• Florentine Sweets & Pastries: End your journey with something sweet! We’ll visit one of the best pastry shops in Florence to try cantucci (almond biscuits) dipped in vinsanto (a local dessert wine). Of course, no food tour is complete without a taste of gelato—we’ll savour some of Florence’s finest artisanal gelato!
• Wine & Olive Oil: As part of our food journey, we’ll also taste some local Tuscan wines and extra virgin olive oil. Discover the bold, fruity flavors of Tuscan wines like Chianti or Vernaccia, and learn how olive oil is made and why Tuscany is known for producing some of the best in the world.
• Hidden Gems of Florence: Along the way, I’ll take you off the beaten path to visit some of Florence’s most charming and lesser-known eateries, where you can sample authentic Florentine dishes in a cozy, local atmosphere. This is where you’ll get a true taste of the city’s culinary culture.
