Great street food tour!
Our guide Alice was very knowledgeable about the history of the foods in Florence. She was very enthusiastic and took us to places to try the local "working class" food. There were a lot of options to satisfy everyone's preferences. It was an extremely enjoyable event!
Response from the operator: Mark, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Florence through its local food and discovering some of the city’s traditional “working-class” specialties. That’s exactly the kind of food culture we love sharing — authentic, everyday dishes with a story behind them. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely words on to Alice. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of Florence’s food history are a big part of what makes these experiences special, and we’re delighted she helped make your tour so enjoyable. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again on another Streaty adventure in Catania, Naples, Rome, Syracuse, Venice, Bari, Bologna, Turin and many other cities!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive) 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 The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive) take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 173 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 The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive)?
+
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 The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive)?
+
Around 61 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive) 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 The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive)?
+
Included: Gelato or other Seasonal Dessert; 3 Wines; Tuscan cheese, charcuterie and seasonal produce; Welcome Vegetarian Treat; and Walking Tour guided by Local Expert. Not included: Bottled water; and Extra food or drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive)?
+
Meet us in Piazza dei Ciompi 9. Your tour guide will be carrying a red bag with the Streaty logo printed on it. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive) 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 The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive)?
+
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 The Original Florence Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive) if the weather is bad?
+
