What to expect
You'll move at a leisurely pace through central Florence, stopping frequently to taste and listen. The guide positions each food stop within the city's history—why this square matters, how Florentine cuisine evolved. Tastings are generous but designed to punctuate the walk rather than replace a meal. Expect cobblestones and crowds in peak hours; the route stays on main streets and accessible surfaces. The final gelato break is unrushed, a genuine pause in front of the cathedral.
