Customer Reviews
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.
Lovely 2 hours with a very informative guide eating the most wonderful ice cream in such a beautiful city
