    Best view at the top!
    It was nice to have a guided tour to explain the outside features and history. It’s definitely worth the climb to get great views of Florence once outside on terrace. Smaller group and less crowded.

    Wonderful Lunch and Cooking Class
    We loved this cooking class! It was my family of four (husband, adult daughter, teen son and myself). We took an informative tour of the market, bought some amazing cheese and balsamic vinegar and olive oil. We headed back to the kitchen to start our lesson! We learned how to make a traditional ragu and pumpkin raviolis. This was a highlight of our trip and we would recommend this to anyone who is spending time in Florence. The chef was great!

    Great introduction to Florence
    Great tour by Fabio. Easy ride past points of interest. With a coffee break along the way. Fabio has great knowledge of Florence and gave suggestions of what to see and do as well as places to eat, where to get the best gelato and even where to buy leather. Great way to get your bearings if you do early in your visit to Florence.

    Great time!
    Federico was funny, engaging and informative. We had the best time discovering some treasures of the market and being hands on with making the pastas and dessert. Loved it!

    Perfect morning and lunch activity!
    Excellent class! Chef Frederico gave great tips and was very entertaining. The market walk and testing was a great way to start and we learned a great deal about the history of the ingredients we used in our class. The class was some demonstration and some doing it ourselves. It’s not all DIY. The pace was great and we felt involved the whole time. Having a little break midway for bruschetta and Chianti was so smart and the final plates were delicious. We did this as a family of four with adult sons in their early 20’s. Everyone loved it.

    A highlight of our trip!
    My husband and I were so glad we booked this market tour and cooking class. The market was a lot of fun. We got to sample ham, pear mustard and several cheeses. We spent a few minutes purchasing some delicious items to bring home before heading back to cook. Chef Roberta was wonderful, she gave very clear instructions and was funny. We made pumpkin ravioli, tagliatelle, and tiramisu. We were happy and full after the class. She sent us the recipes via email and we can’t wait to recreate them at home. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys cooking , or eating delicious Italian food. 😁

    A true couples olive oil and wine treat!
    This tour was the highlight of our time in Florence. We loved seeing all the Vinyards and olive trees. Plus the wine and oils were absolutely delicious. Plus the lunch at the last stop was so tasty and such a nice way to finish the tour. Our tour guide was so kind and knowledgeable as well and really taught us so much.

    Fun and Delicious in Florence
    It was so much fun. Federico was the best, finding a diamond engagement ring was a plus, and the pizza was very delicious. The location was convenient, the staff was friendly and accommodating for my group and they loved it. I will definitely be there when I have another group going to Italy. Thank you.

Our guide was great. We were all wired up with headphones and we could hear her clearly. She spoke excellent English. She gave a wonderful tour of the main sights of Florence as well as background and historical information along the way. Well worth the time and money.

I had decided that a walking tour of Florence would be a great way to be introduced to the city and I chose the tour offered by Florencetown called "Florence Walk and Talk- on the Medici's Footsteps. Frederica was my guide and was both very personable and knowledgeable. Every time I asked her a question about anything that I saw as I walked, she could answer it in detail. At the same time, she was able to give me suggestions about eating and general information about staying in Florence. And being treated to gelato was like icing on the cake. I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. Thank you, Frederica!

Our guide was wonderful. She gave the group a fascinating breakdown of the history of Florence, all the while offering advice on places to eat and visit from her local knowledge. I'll definitely take another tour in future.

My 2 teens boys and I had a lovely morning walking through Florence's city centre. For my sons this was the first time in this incredible city. Stefania has been a lovely guide giving us all the informations needed for this first contact with Florence. She has also greatly advised on how to spend the rest of the day.
Thank you again Stefania!

Our walking tour on our first day in Florence was lovely. Sarah took us all over the historic area pointing out famous landmarks and the history behind them. It was a great way to get an overview of all the piazzas in that area. Each has different activities, museums and restaurants. Sarah was an excellent guide! We felt like we had a better grasp on the layout of the historic city after this. Great tour.
