A super, compact food tour
I booked this walking food tour for our first day in Florence as my son had said it’sa good way to learn our way about the town. It wasn’t quite what we were expecting but worked out better for me as I had damaged my hip and unable to walk to far. We visited 6 eating places all in a very small area. In each place we sampled different foods and wines. Our guide, Valerie, explained about the local foods while we sampled them. The group was supposed to be 7 people but no one else turned up so my 2 sons and I had a private tour and fun chat.

Fantastic food tour!
Best tour in France! We went to 5 different fabulous restaurants in Florence and the food was spectacular. The wine poured were very large glasses and loved our guide. Extremely knowledgeable and very easy to get a long with. Best trip in Florence!
via Tripadvisor
Very solid food tour with big portions.
Val was amazing - a great guide. It was almost too much food. This isn’t just tastings, this experience had very generous portions as well. Also, you do stay in one smaller area around the vicinity of the monument to Dante so as far as walking goes there isn’t too too much. Definitely not enough to burn off all of the calories!! 😂 I really enjoyed the experience though and would do it again.

Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine cost?
+
Prices start at €50 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 Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine 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 Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 553 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 Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine?
+
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 Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine 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 Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine?
+
Around 194 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 Walking Food Tour of Florence with Tastings and Wine 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.
