We did this tour last Saturday and it was a brilliant experience. Christina was so knowledgeable about everything we tried during the day and was also very friendly. All the food and drink we tried was delicious, favourites being Cocoli and Sfoglia. We went back to a number of the shops visited on monday for round 2! All in all... More

Don’t be fooled by the copy cats – Taste Florence is the original and BEST Florence food & wine tour! Toni has spent years building her relationships with the restaurant owners & market vendors and this effort shows. This was our third tour with Toni and it was just as unique and delicious as the first and second tours –... More

We have done many food tours around the world......Taste Florence is the BEST ! Small group and our guide, Christina, was personable, knowledgable and a wonderful hostess. She takes time to answer any and all questions. We sampled meats, breads, pastries, wines, cheeses, oils, balsamic, gelato and chocolates. You shouldn't eat prior to the tour and won't need to eat...

Taste Florence is the best food tour in Florence. Toni is a very knowledgeable guide who has lived in Italy for 11 years. We learned and tasted meats, pastries, balsamic vinegars, wines, gelato, and more. We also learned our way around the area in and around the Food Market. She also provided us with a suggested list and map of... More

I must admit that I have been on other food tours before, but never to one as great as Toni, the owner and guide for Taste Florence. She knows her stuff and delivers it in such a nice way that everyone is engaged to the fullest extent. Toni has been doing this Food Tour for over 4 years and knows... More

We did the Florence Food Tour on our first full day in Tuscany. Toni, our guide (and owner of the company) was fabulous - funny, informative and enjoyable. And since we had the fortune of joining her on her first tour after a 3 month hiatus in the US, we had the bonus of seeing everyone from shopkeepers to people... More

My wife and I plus two adult daughters signed up for this tour. Wow, what a great way to learn about the cuisine in Florence. Our tour guide was Christina and she was so knowledgeable (plus she can speak several languages). It was a great way to sample everything from pastries to meats to wines to balsamic vinegars. The tour... More

We did this tour back in 2008, I was just thinking about it and wanted to check it out on Trip Advisor to see how much it's grown. It was THE BEST TOUR EVER!!!!!! Toni was AMAZING! I want to go back just for this tour!
