Great Food, Great Wine, and a Wonderful Guide
I had a wonderful time on the Sunser Florence Food tour! Our guide, Serena, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the evening, especially enjoyable by sharing some of her own favorite Florentine tastes with the group. The four stops offered a great variety of local cuisine, along with several delicious wines and a traditional Negroni. It was a fun and relaxed way to experience the flavors and culture of Florence. Sidenote, I joined the tour on my own and quickly felt comfortable - it was such a nice group of people to share the evening with. Highly recommend!

Martino is a gem!!!!
My partner and I did a private tour - after spending the first couple of days with family - we wanted to enjoy Florence just the two of us. This was the PERFECT way to start our stay in Florence! We learned so much about Florence, the history of the food and drinks of the area - and he was truly engaging and charming

We’re thrilled to hear that your private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour was the perfect way to enjoy Florence just the two of you. Martino will be so happy to hear your kind words — he really is a gem!

A great first impression of Florence
Our pick up was very easy. We had so much fun and it was an intimate group. The food and wine was amazing aswell as the history of each plate and glass. Our guide, Dimitri was fantastic! We would have preferred to have gotten our wine in glass glasses instead of the small plastic ones we received. It was around €90 - 95. The duration of the tour was about 3 hours.
Response from the operator: Ciao Mia, thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you had such a fun time and enjoyed the intimate group, food, wine, and stories behind each tasting. We really appreciate your feedback about the wine glasses as well and will definitely keep it in mind. We’re so glad Dimitri helped make your evening in Florence such a memorable one. Thank you again for joining us!

Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows cost?
+
Prices start at $220 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 Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows 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 Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows?
+
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 Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows 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 Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows?
+
Around 4 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 Private Florence Oltrarno Food & Wine Tour with Wine Windows 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.
