A beloved favourite, this half-day walking tour offers a delicious introduction to the city and its deep connection to food, art and history. Stroll through Florence’s most iconic squares and secret side streets, where the scent of freshly baked bread mingles with the aroma of espresso drifting from café doors. Every corner reveals a story, every taste a reflection of the city’s soul.

Your journey begins at the famous food market, a lively maze of colour and fragrance where local producers proudly present their craft. Taste creamy artisan cheeses, finely aged salumi and golden olive oils pressed from nearby hills. Listen as your private guide shares the tales of Tuscan farmers, winemakers and bakers whose dedication keeps centuries-old traditions alive.

As you wander further, stop to savour handmade gelato in one of Florence’s oldest gelaterias, where each flavour is prepared with seasonal fruit, rich chocolate and the purest milk. Continue through cobbled streets and quiet courtyards to discover one of the city’s legendary wine windows, where you will be served a glass of ruby-red Chianti in the same way Florentines once shared wine during the Renaissance.

This experience is as much a feast for the senses as it is for the heart. It invites you to slow down, taste deeply and see Florence through the eyes of its people. From the hum of the market to the clink of glasses, each moment is an ode to the city’s enduring love affair with food, beauty and connection.

The tour includes all tastings and a private guide.
