I cannot recommend Taste Florence enough, and I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Our guide Karin spoke perfect English, had an impressive background in foodways and food history, and was so warm, charming, and funny.

I wish we were able to have done this tour in the beginning of our stay in Florence. Karen was our guide, and she was absolutely charming. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about Florence where she was born and raised. Getting a local's perspective on regional street food, wine, cheese, balsamic vinegar, gelato etc. is priceless. Couple this with... More

She also provided us with a suggested list and map of... More

Did this on our first day and so glad we did. Christina was so knowledgable about the food, where it came from, it's processing etc. Would recommend to everyone.

She knows her stuff and delivers it in such a nice way that everyone is engaged to the fullest extent. Toni has been doing this Food Tour for over 4 years and knows... More
