Carpe Diem Tours

This tour was hands-down the most fun and engaging way to get oriented in the city. And if you’re lucky enough to have Erica as your guide, you’re in for something special. She knows Florence inside and out, from its history to its hidden food gems, and she shares it all with a perfect mix of knowledge, humor, and genuine connection with the group. We left not only full from an incredible tasting experience, but armed with a list of great spots to explore for the rest of our stay. We’ve done simple walking tours before, but this one raised the bar, and convinced us that food tours are the way to start off a city from now on. Our group clicked so well we actually ended up continuing the night at one of Erica’s favorite enotecas (amazing wine, unbeatable prices 😉🤌), and the conversation kept flowing long after the tour ended. 
Bottom line: book this tour. You won’t regret it. We’re still raving about it to our friends and fellow travelers!

Wonderful! We loved our experience with Sherry & Azin! The pasta was the best we’ve had, and the tiramisu was fantastic. If you’re thinking about booking, you absolutely should.

Superb host Zofia. Charming knowledgeable and considerate to the whole group. A great experience that went at a good pace and I learned lots about the food, culture and the history of Tuscan cuisine and the Florentines

Fantastic tour. The food was great. Ester our guide was brilliant and full of knowledge. It was a lovely small group and we had a laugh.

We had Ester as our guide and she was absolutely fantastic. Knowledgeable, fun, helpful, she took us to the best places. All the food we tried was great, and the portions were generous. The neighborhood of Trastevere has a bohemian vibe and tons of things to do. Definitely recommend this tour and Ester as a guide!

Excellent experience and amazing places that we go to eat was incredible. I had great time. Good food and wine. Really enjoyed and recommend it.

Ester led us on a wonderful private tour through Trastevere. She was super welcoming and full of fun facts. The tour/itinerary were well organized and the quality at each stop was very good. If anything, we had TOO much food. A lovely night with Ester and Carpe Diem Tours.

Great experience. Paulina was fantastic! Would highly recommend this. Learnt how to make cocktails and pasta and would absolutely do it all again. So much fun!

Mariza was incredible! Very knowledgeable and created a relaxed, fun environment. There was plenty to eat and drink - definitely worth the money!

Marzia and Azin were the best ! This class was an incredible experience and it’s a precious memory we will never forget ! Strongly recommend it !

Marcia was amazing, we had so much fun! Learning how to prepare the fresh pasta, also the best tiramisu ever!! I will prepare what i have learned at home :)) I would strongly recommend everyone to try this class! And can’t wait for the next one!!

Marzia is amazing!! I learned so much in a short space of time and I am so excited to try cooking for my friends and family at home. The food was delicious and the teaching even better! Must try, 10/10. We had the best time and I will definitely be returning and trying all the other classes they have to offer in other countries!!

Food and spritz was amazing ! We learned how to make our own drinks and pasta noodles. Georgia was very interactive and patient in teaching . Class was clean and neat. Will highly recommend this if you have an extra night in Rome.

Daniel was incredible. Very good English and very personable. Made friends with all of us! I loved how interactive he was.
