Fantastic Guide, Fantastic Food
Such a wonderful experience and guide, Lucy. I’ve been to Florence before and thought I might just get repeats of things I’ve done before, but I learned a lot of different information and tried different foods and Lucy was so knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed every moment of it. The only flaw was the the address Viator gave us for the meeting point was off by one block, so we even tho we got to the “meeting place” 20 minutes early, we still we 10 minutes late once we figured it out!
Response from the operator: We really enjoyed having you on the tour. Secret Food Tours was a great way to spend a few hours eating, exploring, and enjoying the company. We’d love to do it again with you!

Fabulous food tour in Florence
Lucy, Was absolutely fantastic as our guide. About 6 to 7 stops. Lots of Florence food history and explanations of what we were having. The gelato was also the best we have had in Italy and this was not our first food tour
Response from the operator: We loved having you along and sharing the experience with you! Secret Food Tours is always more fun when guests bring their curiosity and good energy. We hope the day gave you some memorable moments to take home.

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 $112 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 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 89 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 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 31 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 -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 San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours?
+
Included: Lampredotto; Florentine savory pastry; Tuscan pasta dish; Gelato; and A board of local cold cuts, cheeses, bread, and olive oil. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Florence San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours?
+
We'll meet at Piazza del Mercato Centrale, 46 R, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy, in front of the Pinocchio statue. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Florence San Lorenzo Food Tour by Secret Food Tours offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
