"I was amazed by our food tour in Florence! Having visited the city before, I didn’t expect many surprises, but Lisa showed us hidden gems I’d never discovered on my own. The fresh truffle pasta was incredible, and the Florentine steak paired perfectly with fantastic wines. There was so much more—highly recommended!

Do this tour!!! This tour is THE high-end food and wine tour for Florence! The quality of food, the warmth of the staff at every venue, and the skill of our guide makes this tour a huge step above the rest. The Florentine steak was so impressive, maybe the best steak of my life. Thank you especially to Francesco for making this tour absolutely unreal (and for ending the tour at my absolute favourite gelato spot!!!).

Martina is simply the best guide you could ever hope for!
From the moment the tour started, Martina made everything feel fun, engaging and incredibly special. Her knowledge is impressive, but what really makes the difference is the way she shares it — with passion, clarity and an amazing sense of humor.

The first night I was signed up for the "VIP Florence Dinner Tour: Truffle Florentine Steak & Fine Wines"
Really incredible food tour with Alice and Nadia. They were both so friendly, courteous, funny, and patient with our group.
They gave us history lessons as we walked to our next restaurant. We had food I would have been too nervous/ignorant to order on my own. And the wine was incredible too. Really great to have the opening wines presented by the actual wine makers in their own shop. And I finally got to experience a *good* wine window (a lot of the other ones in Florence are underwhelming)
The second night was the "Florence Sunset Food & Wine Tour" with Assia. She was equally as engaging and informative as Alice/Nadia. She kept us well fed and hydrated the whole time while giving us history lessons on Florence. We had a small group so we got to ask a lot of in-depth questions to a Florence native.
I would do another tour with Eating Europe in a heartbeat.

My husband and I enjoyed the morning tour with Serena, an experienced and enthusiastic guide. The food of Oltrarno (delicious) and walking around the area (no tourists) gave us an expanded view of Florence. I’ve been to Florence many times over the last 50 years; it was a delight to learn new bits of history such as the wine windows that revived during Covid and the history of the food we ate. Every stop was good. Serena was an excellent guide, happy to answer questions and talk in detail about the food. I did not know anything about the development of gelato or cantucci or even Mille foglie. It was nice to see people greet her as we walked around; she made Oltrarno become a friendly village. I highly recommend this tour.

Enjoy an aperitivo on a rooftop terrace and admire the view.
Chiara
Tuscan countryside girl, but Florence always has been in my heart and now I can call it home.
Schiacciata is my obsession! The salty one filled with mortadella or the sweet one "alla fiorentina"... yummy, with cream!
Relax yourself wandering around the historical gardens of Florence, true open-air museums.
Sara
Proudly born and raised in the Valdarno hills.
I love ricciarelli al cioccolato and almond paste in general. But I have to go with my mum's lasagna - that touches a very soft spot in my heart.
Try the Bargello: the oldest public building in Florence in which you can also find Giotto's first portrait of Dante Alighieri.

Can't go wrong with pizza and ice cream

I could live eating just cheese, pizza and pappa al pomodoro (don't tell this to my nutritionist!)
Don't miss the details of the reflection of old Florentine buildings on the river Arno
Caterina
Born in Florence and have lived in a Chianti countryside olive oil farm since I was 12 years old.
I like traditional Tuscan food like what my mother raised me with: simple and genuine! Quality and sustainability are the most important values for me and usually those values equate to the most delicious food ;)
Don't miss the beautiful art we have! One of my favorite places is the Church of San Miniato, a medieval Romanesque church located on the hill overlooking Florence, a couple of minutes from Michelangelo Terrace.
Omar
Born and raised in Florence... but half Egyptian!
Favorite food is Pizza
Look out for the street art, which is all over the city

Anything baked really, sweet or savoury. As long as it contains dough or pastry, I’m your girl!
Explore the artisan shops in the Oltrarno area or in the Santa Croce area. And don’t plan too much! Allow yourself to wander and explore.
Martina
Born and raised on the hills of Florence, I live in the pristine Chainti countryside
Deep fried Porcini mushrooms, bluechese and artisanal dark chocolate are my soft spot, possibly paired with a glass of wine - or two!
