Florence is a city that truly knows food. Named the best in the world for local cuisine, it’s a haven for hearty dishes and bold Tuscan wines. On our Private Florence Food Tour you’ll get an exclusive gastronomic experience in the the artisan Oltrarno district. Your guide will offer dedicated attention to your private group and take you on tasting journey of the region’s most iconic flavours, while giving you the chance to meet the locals behind them. With a curated menu, pre-planned route, and reserved seating at beloved local spots, all you have to do is relax and enjoy Florence, bite by bite.

This private experience highlights Tuscany’s cucina povera, or “peasant cooking”, but don’t be fooled by the name. Made with simple, seasonal ingredients, these traditional dishes are rich in flavour, culture, and history. You’ll start with fresh schiacciata bread, regional meats and cheeses, and a glass of Chianti, before heading to a cosy trattoria for classic Florentine fare.

Throughout the tour, your personal foodie guide will share the stories behind the recipes and the culture that shaped them. You’ll finish with a sweet treat at a favourite neighbourhood gelateria, because no food tour in Florence is complete without one.

Perfect for celebrations, anniversaries, teambuildings, or families , or solo travellers looking for an intimate and authentic food experience. Book your private tour now and discover Florence through your taste buds.

FAQ

What does the price include?

The price covers tastings of classic Tuscan dishes and local Chianti wine, plus a guided adventure through Florence’s food scene. Your local guide will share all the tasty history of Florence’s food culture—trust us, it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Will kids enjoy the tour?

Totally! Our Florence Food Tour is fun for all ages, and kids especially go crazy for the gelato! We’ve got non-alcoholic drinks for the little ones and anyone not drinking, so the whole family can join in on the fun. Plus, it’s a great chance to meet other travellers along the way!

How much walking will we have to do?

We’re all about the food, so there’s just some light walking between stops. No walk will be longer than 10 minutes, promise! Wear comfortable shoes and get ready for a relaxed stroll through Florence.

Can we pick what we eat?

The menu is mostly set, but you’ll get to choose things like your wine, pasta sauces, and gelato flavours. If you’ve got any dietary needs or allergies, just give us a heads-up before the tour, and we’ll make sure to have options that work for you. Our guides are super into Italian food and will help you make all the best choices.

Are there vegetarian options?

Of course! We’ve got veggie-friendly options, though they might be a little more limited compared to the full menu. Sadly, we can’t cater to vegan or gluten-free diets at the moment, but just let us know in advance, and we’ll try to find options that work for you!

How long is the tour?

The tour lasts about 3 hours—plenty of time to dive into all the flavours of Florence and learn about its delicious food culture.

What if it rains, will the tour get cancelled?

Rain or shine, the tour is on! If it rains, most of the tastings will be indoors, so you can still enjoy everything without worry. No matter the weather, you’re in for a great time!

How many people are in the group?

We like to keep things small and cosy, with a maximum of 15 people per tour. That way, you get more personal attention from your guide and a relaxed experience.

What if I don't want to eat certain foods?

No worries at all! If you’ve got food dislikes or dietary needs, just let us know ahead of time, and we’ll make sure to find alternatives so you can enjoy every bite!

Are drinks included?

Yes! The tour includes samples of Chianti wine or a non-alcoholic drink (water, soda, etc.). Of course, if you want to buy more drinks, feel free!

Do I need to speak Italian?

Nope! The tour is in English, led by a local guide who speaks fluent English and can’t wait to share all the food goodness with you.

Is it possible to upgrade to a private food tour?

Absolutely! Want a more personalised experience? A private food tour is perfect for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or just a more tailored experience for you and your group. Let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll create the perfect tour!
