Highly recommend for friends, families and solo travelers
A memorable experience that I would do again.
It was fascinating to support and try the delicacies that Florence had to offer.
From cheese and aged meat to fine wine and gelato.
Everyone in the group was lovely and welcoming to one another and got to talk about our own trips and lives while exploring the beauty and history of Florence.
Would highly recommend🇮🇹🫶

Fun, delicious and well done!
This was our favorite tour during our 2 week trip to Europe! It was well organized, professional, fun and we had tons of delicious food. Martino was a fantastic guide with detailed information on the food & history. We brought our 13 & 18 year old sons and it was also a highlight of their trip. I would highly recommend!

Other Side of Florence Food Tour - Great introduction to Oltrarno,
We did the Other Side of Florence Food tour with the lovely Esther as our guide at the end of March. Everything was well organized with communications before the tour, informative and prompt. The group size of 12 was ideal for the tour and everyone was chatty and sociable.
Starting off at around 10 am we walked around Oltrarno and enjoyed visits to local family-owned businesses including a deli/ cheese shop where we sampled lovely cold cuts and the wonderful pecorino cheese with truffles. Next stop was the Lamprodotto stall where Esther explained the history of this unique Florentine "delicacy " to us and samples were passed around - what can I say!! Moving on we visited a beautiful
bakery in Santa Spirito where the lovely owner / host shared samples of their wonderful cakes including Colomba Pasqua. Next stop was a wine window where we all partook in receiving our wine at the window by the lovely host and then this was followed by more wine accompanied with samples of freshly made Riboletta and Boar stew with Polenta -all delicious! Last stop was the real gelato shop – another local business with the little shop in Santa Spirito and one nearer Pinterest Vecchio -so good. I chose Lemon and Sage sorbet and Pistachio - the real deal! We returned for more later during our time in Florence. Esther was so generous with her knowledge of the food and also lots of lovely little bits of information about the Oltrarno neighbourhood and history of Florence in the wider context. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour - it was a great start to our holiday especially as we stayed in Oltrarno this time. Before we returned home, we also returned to the cheese store to buy some lovely cheese and fennel salami to bring back to Scotland.
Esther is a fantastic guide - such good fun and so enthusiastic about everything. We would recommend this tour to any visitors - a wonderful way to learn about the culinary traditions of Oltrarno - thank-you!
