We had a very nice local...
We had a very nice local named Luana, lead us through traditional aperitivo options while telling us the stories and history of all the drinks and ingredients. And we visited some really cool places that were not tourist traps.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring the real culture of the Italian aperitivo with Luana. For us, it’s never just about the drinks—it’s about the stories, traditions, ingredients and local places that give them meaning. We love sharing a more authentic side of Florence, away from the obvious tourist trail. We hope you’ll join us around the table again one day!

Wonderful interesting tour!
Very informative and interesting. Loved the different destinations with different drinks and experiences!! You learn the history of the drinks and their relationship with Italian lifestyle. This is a fantastic way to see a different atmosphere and learn of some culture. My favorite tour of Europe so far (day 10).
Response from the operator: Hello Tanya! That's fantastic to hear! Thank you so much for leaving such a kind review. We are so happy you enjoyed your tour and had a chance to discover a different side of Florentine culture with us :) We hope the rest of your European travels are just as memorable!

Salute! Cheers!
A fabulous and rather tipsy way to enjoy the pre-dinner nightlife in Florence. Our guide Angela was an excellent host as we weaved between bars enjoying Italian aperitivi, and learning more about the most popular drinks in Italy. It was a fun way to see a part of the city we might not have otherwise visited. And the final bar, in a secret garden, was a highlight!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such a fabulous and 'tipsy' time exploring Florence's pre-dinner nightlife with Angela. We're delighted you enjoyed the Italian aperitivi, learned about our popular drinks, and discovered hidden gems of the city! We hope to welcome you back for another fun adventure in Florence!

MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif cost?
+
Prices start at €120 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 MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif?
+
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 MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif?
+
Around 2 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does MaMa Florence Aperitivo Tour: Authentic Italian Aperitif 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.
