    Fantastic experience!

    We had a great time on our private tour. Christy is very friendly and made us feel at ease from the start, and is very knowledgeable about Florence and the food. The pace of the tour was perfect, and there was a great variety of food to try - sweet, savoury, hot & cold, coffee, wine and gelato. We were glad of the walking in-between places to digest and make more room! Highly recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure guiding your private tour here in Florence. I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the mix of flavors from savory local bites and wine to coffee and gelato... and that the pace gave you plenty of time to digest between stops 😂. Making guests feel welcome and sharing the incredible food culture of Florence is what I love most! Thank you for recommending the tour, and I hope to see you again the next time you're in Florence! Safe Travels!

    Very good food and wine-...

    Very good food and wine- many tastings with a lot of food. Great guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable. The pace and timing were perfect - relaxed to fit our needs.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! It was my pleasure! All the best to both of you!

    Amazing Private Food/Wine Tour

    This was one of the best food/wine tours we have done. Our guide was excellent and took us to places that were not deeply in the main tourist areas. We got to try quite a bit of food so come ready to eat if you want to finish it all. We have done plenty of food/wine tours in the past but the private tour was very nice to have complete focus on tour from the guide. We really enjoyed this experience and recommend it if you want a more in depth experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! It was our pleasure. We really take pride in taking guests to lesser known spots and making sure that they are full by the end of the tour! Enjoy the rest of your trip and have a safe trip home!

    It is a fun tour. Danilo...

    It is a fun tour. Danilo shares lot of fun facts and comments about the different food you tried. He is a good Connosseur of the Italian's cuisine and wine. It is worth to try it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! It was so lovely to meet you and show you a bit of Florence! Hopefully our paths will cross again! All the best!

    A real authentic food tour!

    We had a such a great tour with Christy! Our kids loved seeing the farmers market and we loved all of the tastings. She knew everyone along the way and every shop owner greeted her with a bit smile when we walked in. We are looking forward to trying out some of the recommendations she gave us during the tour! We highly recommending booking a tour with Christy!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! It was really my pleasure to show you and your family a bit of Florence. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your vacation!

    Florence Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Florence Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private cost?

    +

    Prices start at €75 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 Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private 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 Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private?

    +

    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 Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private 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 Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private?

    +

    Around 8 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 Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private 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.

    What is included in Florence Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private?

    +

    Included: Tastings, Wine, and Bottled Water. Not included: Pick up and Drop off at Hotel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Florence Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private?

    +

    Meet your local expert on the steps of the Church of Sant'Ambrogio. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Florence Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Florence Food and Wine Walking Tour - Private?

    +
