Private Other Side of Florence Food Tour

Absolutely. A private Oltrarno tour gives your group exclusive access to family-run delis, historic fiaschetterie, and authentic wine windows — with a flexible pace and a guide focused entirely on you. It’s the most local, most relaxed way to experience Florence, far from the Duomo crowds.

All food and drinks across the tour, your dedicated private guide, and a donated meal via World Central Kitchen. No hidden charges, no upsells.

This private food tour runs 3 hours, with morning departures Monday to Saturday. Custom timings available for corporate groups on request.
