A Fantastic Experience with Giorgio
We had the absolute pleasure of taking a food and drink tour in Florence with Giorgio, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Giorgio was everything you could hope for in a guide – warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable.
His passion for Florence’s history and culture shone through in every story he told, adding so much depth and color to each stop we made. Whether we were sipping wine, sampling local delicacies, or strolling through the charming streets, Giorgio made it all come alive with fascinating facts and anecdotes.
What really stood out was his kindness and flexibility. He was incredibly accommodating to our group’s needs and made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. He had a great sense of humor and created such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere—it felt like exploring the city with a very well-informed friend.
We can’t recommend Giorgio enough. If you're in Florence and want an unforgettable food and cultural experience, look no further!

Unforgettable Experience
Gianni was the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we met, his warmth, professionalism, and deep local knowledge transformed a great tour into something unforgettable. Every detail was thought through — timing, atmosphere, storytelling — and he made everyone feel welcome and special. You can feel how passionate he is about what he does, and it shines through every minute. If you’re looking for a truly authentic, world-class experience, look no further. This wasn’t just a tour — it was a memory we’ll carry for life. Thank you, Gianni!

Outstanding food tour
We were a family group of five adults, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time
with Christy. As we are not drinkers and I communicated this with her ahead of time, she substituted wine tasting with addition food tastings. We loved everything we tasted, from pastries with coffee to sandwiches. She had a great relationship with all the vendors, especially at the market. My son who is a “foodie” describes
the tour as epic, and said it was the best he’s ever taken!

Personality and Heart
Within minutes of meeting us, Antonina switched gears to personalize our little tour to match our personalities. We wanted to try authentic and humble food away from the crowds. It was delicious! She took us through a section of Florence where we were able to see a lot of street art, based on what she saw us taking pictures of. She matched our need for a faster pace, so that we could see more. We were enchanted by her, and would have loved to spend the rest of the day with her!
