Would highly recommend a Florence Secret Food Tour with Lucrezia
We like to go on food tours pretty much as one of the first few things when we go to a new city because we get to experience the city from a local’s perspective. Lucy (Lucrezia) was great. She was very knowledgeable, took us to amazing food/wine places, and she felt like an old friend. She had spectacular English which was also very helpful. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure spending the day together. Secret Food Tours is at its best when guests leave feeling they discovered something new. We hope to host you again!

Fantastic Food, Culture and Hospitality in Florence
We had a fantastic food and culture tour of Florence with Cristina. As a Florentine, her knowledge and passion for Florence, its history and its food really brought the experience to life. Cristina was enthusiastic, engaging and fascinating to listen to, explaining not just what we were eating but why food is such an important part of Florentine culture and tradition. We learned so much about the city through its cuisine. The food itself was excellent – authentic, delicious and incredibly generous. There was plenty of it, and we loved every stop along the way. We were a family of four, including two teenagers, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Cristina made it interesting and fun for everyone. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the real Florence through its food and culture.
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us. It means a lot that you chose to spend part of your time with us and then came back to tell us about it. We hope to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $88 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 San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours 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 San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours?
+
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 San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours 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 San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours?
+
Around 26 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 San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours 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 Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. 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.
