It’s not hard to find good food in Florence, but if you really want to eat as the Florentines do, you need to come along with a local expert foodie to visit beloved wine bars, restaurants, and more. Pop in and out of beloved local establishments in two authentic Florence neighborhoods, Oltrarno and Santo Spirito. Enjoy regional wines and a traditional aperitivo with cheese, cold cuts, and bruschette. After, you’ll head to a beloved local spot to learn how to make a Negroni—Florence’s most iconic cocktail. You’ll mix it up like a pro, then enjoy your handcrafted drink alongside an aperitivo of freshly baked schiacciata. Visit an ancient wine window for another glass and learn the fascinating history behind them. Sit down at a trattoria for Tuscan pasta and Florentine steak, and then top it all off with artisan Italian gelato, of course! At the end of the evening before parting ways with your guide, they'll share their local tips on where to dine during the rest of your trip.

Come Hungry!
Come hungry! The tour was a great experience...both educationally and gastronomically. Our guide Chiara took us to great spots, and provided history and context for everything we experienced. The food stops were well planned and there was more than enough to eat. We had a great time!

A great tour you won’t want to miss!
Many great stops that would be hard to chose a favorite, but maybe the winery and lunch there would top the list! Awesome guide and driver. Small private group made it even better. Thank you Francesco for a special outing.

Florence Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around cost?
+
Prices start at $126 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 Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 328 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 Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around?
+
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 Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around?
+
Around 115 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Oltrarno Neighborhood Food & Wine Dine Around 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.
