Withlocals The 10 Tastings: Florence Private Food Tour

Axel was a great host! He was informative and very pleasant. We enjoyed experiencing some of the local spots, drank delicious wine, ate meat & cheese boards, gelato & more! We waited out a thunderstorm while in a wine cellar it was truly a unique & fun experience! Thank you, Axel!

Loved this tour it was informative and tastie. Guide was knowledgeable and fun! Recommend it highly.

Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable! A great way to find hidden spots throughout the city to taste all kinds of food and wine. A wonderful alternative to wandering around by ourselves. A great experience overall!

Best Florence tour ever! Everyone should do it- we felt like locals! Christy was excellent company and very knowledgeable, we just wish it had lasted longer!

Christy was a joy to spend the tour with. She answered so many questions and introduced us to local artisans that she held in high regard, and were friendly and welcoming. This has been an unexpected highlight for us, and we strongly recommend you take this tour!

Outstanding tastings of local cuisine! Our tour guide, Christy was fabulous and made the tour perfect !

My husband and I were in Florence for 2 nights only (on a Europe/Africa 20 day honeymoon). I am a huge foodie (and chef) and really loved the places our guide Axel brought us to. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. We were even able to go inside a wine shop owner's personal wine collection (his wine cellar was in the very old basement of his shop) and it included some extremely old wines (as far as 1800's!). The baslamic, the wine, the meats, cheese and the absolute BEST gelato I have every tasted in Italy! We highly recommend this tour.

Sara our guide was great. We had trouble getting to Florence due to their less than perfect train system (who knew there could be two platform 1s at the same station). We were running late but Sara was happy to wait, granted were the only people on the tour. We got to eat at some amazing places and even went back the next day to eat there again. The foccacia style bread with salami was something out of this world. Definitely would recommend this tour.

Sara was lovely! We had a lot of fun, she felt like a cool cousin showing us around. Felt totally comfortable with her. We ate at some hole-in-the-wall places we wouldn't have found ourselves. We actually went back to a couple of the places next day! I had reached out a few weeks before as it was my brothers b-day and we wanted to do something special, Sara arranged it all and it was awesome! Super appreciated! Really really enjoyed our tour with her and would definitely do it again! Side note, we were still a 'little' bit hungry after, it is just a tastings tour (as in the title of the tour), not a full on meal tour so maybe don't be super hungry going into it or, ask for a recommendation for dinner afterwards. But still was super enjoyable.

We were so lucky to have Gianni as our guide--a Florence resident who knew the locations and vendors everywhere we stopped. The tour was a combination of foody-education and orientation to Florence and included "insider" opportunities that we'd never have been able to do without a guide. Gianni customized the tour to our interests, and he even added an unexpected stop: to a record store, after he learned that my husband was a record store owner. We had a great time! The cost of the tour covered the costs of the food...which was so generous that we definitely got a meal out of it. A great bargain! And a once-in-a-lifetime pleasure. Thanks!
