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.

Francesco was a wonderful guide through the good and wine of Italy. He had a tremendous knowledge of the food and history we were sampling. That, combined with his superb personality made for a very enjoyable experience of Florence’s food market. The vendors were also very friendly and informative about what we were tasting. I would highly recommend this tour of Eating Europe Florence.

This was our first time doing a food tour and we had the best time!!! Valeria, our guide was top notch. She is sweet, friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. We loved the shared experience and getting to know others from the group. Food was excellent and so were all the drinks. Valeria was kind to accommodate us since we’re vegetarian. She is an outstanding guide and I highly recommend her. We have another food tour booked in Rome and I’m already excited! Grazie.

This tour was amazing. The truffle hunt was such a unique experience and we learned so much about the area and truffles in general. The pasta making portion was great and they gave very clear instructions which was necessary for me since I very little experience cooking. The meal afterward was delicious. The scenery was gorgeous and the hosts were friendly and informative. I highly recommend!
