“I’ve now done this tour twice and both times were unforgettable. If you’re a food lover or just want to learn more about the Tuscan culinary culture, this tour is a must do. From start to finish the tour, struck the perfect balance between delicious food, drinks, local history and authentic Florentine atmosphere. What I loved most was that even on my second time, there were new delights and insights to experience. Every step featured real Italian classics and none of it felt touristy! Our guide was not only friendly, but genuinely passionate about Tuscan food traditions.”
