Customer Reviews
This was an excellent food tour and our guide Fabia was amazing. The food and wine were delicious and she made this Tour a lot of fun.
Fabi was our tour guide and she was great. Very personable and was able to keep things moving along at a good pace. We were a couple in a group of 8 total which was a nice size. All food stops were very good and the wine was good too! It was nice to try the Florentine steak. Before the tour we thought we may not get enough steak since it is so expensive, but we did - we were very full at the end. The tour was very good value and helped us understand the lay out of the city core. Book it, you’ll be glad you did!

Can I bring my kids and do I have to pay for them?
Kids are welcome on our food tours, but we understand that sometimes young children won’t be interested in what’s offered. You won’t have to pay for children who are under 6 years old and won’t be eating the food. You're welcome to bring some food for them to enjoy. Otherwise, if they will be eating food at any of the stops, please choose the “Child” option when booking.

Please contact us in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.
Most importantly, how much wine do we actually get?
We promise at least 3 glasses, but in many places it is served by the carafe, which is the typical way in Italy. In this case, you might enjoy more than three glasses of wine, but we recommend not overdoing it so you can enjoy your evening (and the following morning).

Do the tasting stops on this tour ever change?
Stops and tastings on this tour are subject to change due to seasonal/holiday venue closures.

In this situation, your guide will take you to another nearby eatery and the exact dishes served may change. Rest assured, our local guides know plenty of fantastic options in the Santo Spirito district!
What if I have concerns about my mobility on this tour?
This is a gently paced walking tour with frequent stops, but the streets can be uneven and stairs may be involved. If you have any doubts about your mobility, we recommend you take a Wine Day in the Chianti Hills from Florence so we can better accommodate your needs.
