Great Food Tour
A great food tour!! Ana, our guide, was very knowledgeable and was delightful to be with. Not only did we learn about the Florentine food, we also learned the history of Florence at the same time. The food was delicious!

Private food tour
Great guide named Eden. She was patient and kind and introduced us to food we hadn't experienced in Florence before.

Excellent tour
Our guide, Eden was great. She was very accommodating to our needs, even with one of us having a diet restriction. Everything we tasted was delicious and the tour was well worth the money. I highly recommend this tour.

No-Show Tour Guide; No Customer Service Help
This was one of the most disappointing incidents on our Italy trip. We booked the majority of our tours and events for the trip using Viator—- in most cases, we had to frantically contact a Viator help desk because our tickets were not sent, our guide did not show up, or some other aspect was missing. I booked the private food tour in Florence about 2 months in advance. I received a text message two days before the tour with our guide’s name and contact information. The meeting spot was the Fountain of Neptune. We arrived on time. We called, texted via SMS and WhatsApp, but the guide did not answer. We tried to call the WithLocals number, but no one answered. We waited on the phone as a Viator customer service rep tried to contact our guide. After 1.5 hours of waiting, they offered a refund. I’m not concerned about the money. The frustrating thing is that we planned well in advance and looked forward to this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Danielle, We are truly sorry to read this. A guide no-show — especially after planning two months in advance and waiting at the meeting point — is not an experience anyone should have, and we understand how disappointing that must have been. We want to look into this properly, but we are not able to locate this booking in our records at this time. Please reach out to Viator and they will be able to share the details with us so we can investigate and make sure this does not happen again. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team

A Private Tour of Local Foods by an Authentic Local
The intimacy of a private tour by Ana for my wife and me was amazing! The variety of different foods and types of vendors was amazing. In addition to the different foods and venues, our guide, Ana, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the streets, areas, piazzas, architecture we saw along our stroll through Florence. We never expected to see & learn about the buildings that were the offices of the Medici banking business or where Leonardo da Vinci lived!! Ana did a fabulous job of showing us the tourist hot spots and the quiet interesting food alimanderes & tratorrias of the locals. We felt after a short while that we were being given a private tour by our friend & true local, Ana!!

Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 680 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings?
+
Around 238 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Exclusive PRIVATE Food Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
