Experience Food Tours in Florence with Withlocals

"Well informed. Courteous. Enjoyable companion. Funny. Exceptionally well-versed on local culture and history. Fun to be with! "

"We had a great experience walking with Ana. We were three adults newly arrived in Florence. We had booked the tour from home. Communications with Ana before meeting were excellent, both in greeting and for arrangements to meet on the day. We met at a café/bar on the Duomo piazza. Ana was charming and most welcoming. After introductions we had coffee and learnt from Ana some of the customs around bars and coffee, most helpful for the rest of the week (we have toured in Italy before but it turned out that there was much we did not know!). Ana then took us walking, mentioning, explaining, informing and advising as we went, collecting useful recommendations on where we might eat during the week. We visited some points off the tourist trails with interesting stories. Ana was thoroughly engaging. We had stops for coffee and wine. A particular memory will be cheese and cold meat tasting at a delightful small, old-established delicatessen, finishing at a favourite gelateria. Quite deliberately we took our tour on the first evening of our visit to Florence and appreciated the suggestions and advice for further visits during the week of our stay. Ana was thoroughly good company. We came away delighted with the experience. We will be very happy to use ‘With Locals’ again on future city holidays. "

"Mara was so fun and engaging and shared a fun afternoon with us and our children. She accommodated everyone’s tastes and shared stories of the city and food with us. So much fun and such great food and wine! "

"We ended up having a different guide, Gabriel, who was fantastic. "

"Elisabetta was engaging and good company as well as informed. It was everything we hoped for and would definitely recomend taking the interesting tour exploring areas you might not otherwise visit. Debs and Mona. "

"This was the perfect way to start our trip to Florence! We got an overview of the city, a great feel of the culture, and overall lay of the land. Our guide, Mara was simply amazing! She checked in with us before the tour to get a feel of what we liked and was accommodating throughout the tour. She explained what we were going to try, and made suggestions and recommendations for substitutions for those who had a more delicate pallet. Mara made sure we tried everything we wanted, and we even later revisited some of the locations during our trip. She was easy to talk to and in the end, we felt we had a new friend in Florence. Highly recommended you book with Mara!"

"We had an enjoyable time exploring Florence with Guily. It was a combination of a food and city tour. The tour was informative and interesting. "

"I am so grateful that I had a tour with Ana today in Florence. Not only is she able to clearly explain the real treasures and history of Florence, she is obviously very passionate about this amazing city, it's history and culinary delights. The unexpected bonus was that I really enjoyed our conversations about life from someone living here and will remember it forever - I feel that I will definitely be back to Florence 🙏"

"We are a group of 3 friends from Ireland, that take a tour with Ana. Ana was so kind, knowledgeable and passionate about both Florence and its food. We learned so much about the culture and cuisine of Florence. Ana also gave us personalised recommendations for the rest of our stay. We had a lovely day with Ana, we would highly recommend a tour with her. Vicky "

"Such a great experience! We got to experience and taste things we would have never otherwise thought to try. Giorgio was great and help give historical insight and answer many of our questions!"
