- Christi1969AD0 contributionsDelicious food and exerciseThis was a great experience. Gordano, our guide, was knowledgeable and fun. We tried all sorts of things from 15 year old balsamic vinegar and truffle honey to fried dough sandwiches and freshly made gelato. There were special considerations given to food requirements, vegetarian, as well.Written September 12, 2024
- JennifeJow0 contributionsThis is a fun way to get to know Florence!Marylisa was wonderful. We enjoyed her knowledge as much as the wonderful foods we tried.

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The best experience I’ve had on my vacation. Arrive hungryWritten August 24, 2024
- 562whitneyg0 contributionsGreat authentic experience!This tour was a great value in comparison to other local tours and we had more than enough great food! The star of the show was really our guide Lorenzo though! He told us so many interesting facts about the food, the history of the city, and the culture of Italy! He also gave us a ton of great advice for traveling in Florence and other cities!Written August 24, 2024
- mtess220 contributionsUffizi tour with MartinaWe did a morning Uffizi tour with Martina with 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 6-12). Martina was the best guide we have ever had, for both kids and adults alike. She has a deep knowledge of the museum content, often pointing out certain things that we could tell no other guide did. But at the same time she was great at keeping the kids engaged with the treasure hunt/ trivia game, and also how to best navigate the museum, knowing exactly when and where to take a break or keep moving. As an example, for many of the paintings, she had the kids come up close and then sit on the floor, while she described what was so special about that piece. All of the adults learned a lot, and I was surprised that the kids were genuinely captivated and had energy for the entire tour. I can’t speak for the other guides, but would not hesitate to recommend Martina.Written August 11, 2024
