Eat and Go: The Florentine 3-Hour Street Food Tour

About this tour

Walk Florence's back streets with a local guide sampling what ordinary Florentines actually eat. Over three hours, you'll stop at four different spots to taste schiacciata loaded with cured meats, a bowl of ribollita, lampredotto (tripe sandwich), and cantuccini biscuits dunked in Vin Santo. Food tells the story of a city better than any fresco—this tour proves it by taking you where locals queue for lunch.

• Ribollita and lampredotto at Sant'Ambrogio Market

What to expect

Expect a relaxed pace through crowded markets and neighbourhood food shops, not polished restaurants. Your guide will steer you toward spots where regulars eat, explaining why each dish matters to Florence's food identity. At each stop you'll stand shoulder-to-shoulder with shoppers and workers, ordering what they order. Portions are genuine—you'll taste properly, not nibble. The pace suits all fitness levels; you're walking between stations but stopping frequently to eat and chat.
