Florence Dinner Tour: Truffle, Florentine Steak & Fine Wines

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Florence and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

Florence’s culinary scene is a delicious mix of Tuscan tradition and Italian flavors. You can’t leave without trying bistecca alla fiorentina (the legendary Florentine T-bone steak), ribollita (a hearty Tuscan vegetable and bread soup), and crostini toscani (toasted bread with savory liver pâté). Pasta lovers will adore pappardelle al cinghiale (wide noodles with rich wild boar ragu), and of course, no visit is complete without indulging in cantucci e vin santo, the local almond biscuits served with sweet dessert wine.

All food and drinks, as well as your professional local guide are included in the price you pay for the tour. No hidden charges or upsells here.

Our Florence tours range in length from 2.5 to 5 hours.

Each tour’s area can be found listed as its “location”. You might explore Oltrano, the city center, or San Lorenzo!

Our tours have maximum capacities of between 8-12 guests. This ensures that our small groups are able to move unobtrusively through the neighborhoods we explore, respecting our surroundings and the locals that live in Florence.

We love welcoming solo travelers! All of our tours are open to individual guests.

Children under 4 years old do not need a ticket and can join the tour for free. However, food is not included for children under 3 and under. Paid tickets with food included are available for ages 4 and up.

You will taste a variety of Tuscan and Italian specialties, exploring Florence’s rich culinary history from hearty pastas to local wines and cheeses. Offerings may vary by day or season, but you’re sure to enjoy a delightful array of local flavors!

There is no dress code on our tours, however it’s recommended to wear a good pair of shoes (these are walking tours, after all!) and be prepared for the elements, even though most of our stops are indoors.

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Italian concept from the Renaissance, sprezzatura, which means a kind of effortless grace. It’s a feeling of beauty without trying too hard, and we believe every visitor should experience it in Florence.

You’ll find that spirit of sprezzatura from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the artisan workshops in the Oltrarno district, don’t touch the produce at the Sant’Ambrogio market, and take a quiet moment to appreciate art away from the main crowds. This is the authentic Florence experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Our guides are all fluent in English, and of course speak Italian as well. For requests for tours in other languages, please contact us.

Yes! You are welcome to take photos and videos of the food and scenery throughout your tour. If you would explicitly like to get photos of fellow guests or your guide, we kindly ask that you get their permission first.

Tips for our lovely guides are not required, but they are appreciated!

No. While some tours may have one or two stops which other groups visit (can’t help it if they’re popular!), Eating Europe are proud that the majority of stops on every Florence tour are restaurants and vendors who work exclusively with us.

We do! Please see the “Book a Private Tour” option or contact us, and we can arrange a private or custom Florence tour to suit your specific needs.
