Eat Like A Local In Florence: Private & Personalized

About this tour

Spend three hours wandering Florence's working-class quarters with a local who shares your tastes. You'll taste your way through Sant'Ambrogio Market and beyond, sampling everything from crispy schiacciata to lampredotto, paired with Tuscan wine and regional sweets. Before you meet, fill out a quick questionnaire so you're matched with someone whose interests align with yours—not a scripted tour, but a genuine neighbourhood ramble with 6–8 tastings and two drinks across a few beloved spots.

Highlights

• Sant'Ambrogio Market's street food and neighbourhood vendors
• Lampredotto sandwich with herbed green sauce at a traditional stand
• Tuscan wine pairing at family-run Alessi wine bar
• Torta della Nonna custard tart and espresso at a local café
• Strega Nocciola gelato in an uncommon flavour
• Personality-matched local guide, not a group escort
• Flexible itinerary you can reshape on the day

What to expect

After booking, you'll answer a brief questionnaire so you're paired with someone genuinely like-minded—your host reaches out directly to sketch an itinerary together. You'll meet them at a central spot (hotel pickup available) and spend the next three hours on foot, ducking into markets, wine bars, and hole-in-the-wall eateries across Florence's older quarters. Expect to taste offal, drink seriously good Tuscan wine, and eat dessert twice. The route isn't fixed; if you spot something appealing or change your mind halfway through, your guide adapts. You're walking mostly, though occasional public transport stops are nearby if needed.
