Tour Itinerary

1

Meet your guide Piazza della Signoria
Kick off your evening in the heart of Florence, surrounded by statues, fountains, and centuries of history.
2

Sip and snack at a historic wine window
Wander to a traditional buchetta del vino, believed to be one of Florence’s oldest. Enjoy a glass of Tuscan wine and a crunchy tarallo as your guide shares stories of Renaissance-era merchants and quirky Florentine traditions.
3

Taste Tuscany’s comfort-food classics
Next, you’ll settle into a cozy spot for a seasonal tasting: pappa al pomodoro in summer or ribollita in winter. Then enjoy pecorino cheese, cured meats, and chicken liver pâté crostini, each paired with a locally sourced wine for the full Tuscan experience.
4

Cross Ponte Vecchio into the Oltrarno
Cross the iconic Ponte Vecchio and head into the charming Oltrarno neighborhood, a hub of local Florentine life. This trendy area is the backdrop for your next tasting, where you'll indulge in simple, delicious, handmade pasta like ravioli.
5

Enjoy a traditional Florentine steak dinner
Then it’s time for the star of the night. Sit down for a generous serving of Florentine steak, crisp on the outside and ruby-red inside, just as locals prefer. With roasted potatoes and a bold Tuscan red, this is a true Florentine feast.
6

Award-winning gelato in Santo Spirito
Your final stop is a beloved gelateria in the artsy Santo Spirito neighborhood. Savor a scoop (or two) of the city’s creamiest gelato as your guide shares final tips for exploring Florence’s food scene on your own.
7

Your tour finishes at Santo Spirito
Once dessert wraps up, the guided portion concludes right in the heart of Oltrarno. You’re free to linger in the lively square, enjoy another drink, or make your way back across the river at your own pace.

Awesome!

Debra Glenn, 07 November 2025

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.

Great Experience!

Neil Schroeter, 04 November 2025

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

What to bring?

This is a walking tour that includes stairs and uneven terrain, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Come hungry!

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.

What if I have food allergies, intolerances or other requirements?

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. As the places we frequent on this Florence Food Tour are local institutions and family-run businesses, they can close at any time with little notice. 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.
