A Must Do In Florence
What a great educational, fun, and delicious way to spend a couple hours in Florence. We had this beautiful, knowledgeable guide, who found us right away at the meeting point and, for four hours, let us taste our way through the San Lorenzo Market, a local restaurant, street food, real gelato in controlled temperature containers, and even a pastry shop. We started with little “sliders” of Italian ham/cheese, then an olive oil/balsamic/truffle shop, and some more meat and cheese in the market. Then we had a special table reserved for the eight of us in a quaint little restaurant for pasta with meat sauce and a beef stew, then onto another sandwich vendor, and we completed with a stop for gelato and another stop for Florentine cake. All came with beverages, including wine, beer, soda, or water. However, one of the best parts was our guide, who is from Florence, walking us through the city giving us a tour of the historic highlights. We loved it, and you will too. Come hungry!

Tasty Florence Food Tour & Sightseeing around San Lorenzo Farmers Market & Duomo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Tasty Florence Food Tour & Sightseeing around San Lorenzo Farmers Market & Duomo cost?
+
Prices start at $102 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 Tasty Florence Food Tour & Sightseeing around San Lorenzo Farmers Market & Duomo take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tasty Florence Food Tour & Sightseeing around San Lorenzo Farmers Market & Duomo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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.

Is Tasty Florence Food Tour & Sightseeing around San Lorenzo Farmers Market & Duomo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tasty Florence Food Tour & Sightseeing around San Lorenzo Farmers Market & Duomo?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tasty Florence Food Tour & Sightseeing around San Lorenzo Farmers Market & Duomo 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.
