    Total con, lasted only 1 hour, cheap, dull & stale food & completely overpriced

    There were 4 of us n this tour and we were all very disappointed. Firstly - don't be fooled by he 'we visit several places' - it was 6 - several means to me 8 or 9. We only actually sat in one restaurant - all the rest of the 'gourmet delights?' were us standing in the street while the guide went into the restaurants & handed us the samples one by one - so on a hugely hot Florence day that was not what we had hoped for. But he worst part was the food was cheap, dull & tiny portions - stale bread with a bit of tomato paste, a bun, average pasta - nothing at all original & costing the lowest amount they could. At the very end, we got a small cup of gelato - but for £35 we learnt nothing & certainly ate nothing of any interest, - this was food that every restaurant gives you. This also certainly did not take 2.5 hours - I would say more like 1 hour. When the guide ended the tour everyone was surprised that it had been so short. So a complete con and not worth the money at all. I have done street tours in lots of cities that are excellent & take you behind the scenes, show you how things are made, sit you in the restaurants, often get chefs to talk to you & really take time & effort to show off the very vest of that city's food so you taste food that s new & interesting & you really do get your money's worth. The guides are passionate about the food & really want to impart their passion to you. - this tour as completely at the opposite end of the scale - just a quick tour with dull cheap food & you gained nothing whatsoever about Florentine cuisine. Very very disappointed.

    Great experience. Recommended. Lots of food to try.

    Great experience and a very knowledgeable guide. This tour was both about the great food of Florence but a lot of historical information and a guide to the city itself. Very helpful. Honestly, more food than we expected, Take this tour and it is basically free vs finding lunch in Florence.

    Perfetto

    Dila was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer lots of questions. Never felt like she was bored or trying to rush us. Highly recommend!

    Fun mid-morning activity.

    It was a very nice tour, we had a diverse group and Valeri was so cute...with the hustle and bustle of the streets it could be hard to hear her. Variety of food...cookie/sort of a port wine I would say...not to my liking, next to a yum fry bread with a thin ham and cheese sandwich, very good. Marke next for a Tuscany tasting of oils, vinegar, balsamic, etc. Best was the pasta we had next...then a small sandwich with wine...off to gelato, so good. Overall, we had a lovely time as Valeri told us history along the way. Would say yes to doing this tour.

    Florence: Street Food Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Florence: Street Food Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours 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 Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 25 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 Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours?

    +

    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 Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours 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 Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours?

    +

    Around 9 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 Tour and Sightseeing with Local Expert Guide in 2.5 hours 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.
