    Wonderful culinary tour of Florentian street food with excellent local guide Marilisa

    An unique tour with a wonderful local guide Marilisa who was knowledgeable and fun. The food samples were amazing as were the visits to little bakeries and Mercato Centrale. My family is vegetarian but Marilisa made sure we had a variety of options. She also took us down less busy streets and shared wonderful insights into the “real” Firenze.

    No guide, no tour, no refund.

    I was at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start, as requested. I waited and waited, nobody came. I called the phone number indicated in my reservation, nobody answered. That was my experience, which, in a way, I could certainly describe as unique, since it had never happened to me before.

    Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $48 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 Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour?

    +

    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 Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour 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 Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Professional tour guide; and Traditional food. Not included: Drinks; Private transportation; Transportation to/from amenities; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour?

    +

    Your guide will be holding a sign with STREET FOOD TOUR written on. Please, reach the meeting place at least 10 minutes before the activity starts. If you are running late, please, inform us. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Florence Street Food and Sightseeing Small Group Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Florence. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
