Gastronomic walking tour of Florence with a professional guide
Begin your journey in the historic centre of Florence, where you’ll wander through the cobblestone streets and meet the city’s treasured local vendors. More than a food tour, this experience offers a deeper immersion into Florence’s rich gastronomic heritage.
Starting with the powerful Medici family, your guide will reveal how their influence helped shape the city’s culinary identity. As Florence flourished during the Renaissance, it evolved into a thriving hub for artisans and producers.
Meet the city's bakers, butchers and grocers, each with their own stories and recipes passed down through generations. Along the way, you'll sample delicious Florentine specialties, from freshly baked bread drizzled with local olive oil to perfectly aged pecorino cheese, handmade pasta, crunchy coccoli dough balls and artisan gelato.
