      Fun and delicious!
      Anna was so charming! Her bubbly personality was delightful. She was also very knowledgeable and well able to field questions from a group of varied individuals.. I’m vegetarian and was accommodated well. The food was sometimes delicious always fascinating. Well done!

      Worth it for the local’s perspective
      Our guide Anna was lovely! The food was pretty standard, tasty Italian food. Best part was the history and local cuisine perspective!

      Great Tour!
      This tour was wonderful! It was a lot of walking and a lot of really great information about the city and the food. Every stop was delicious and informative. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who visits Florence. We did it the first morning after I arrived and I am glad I did. I learned a lot and enjoyed the tour.

      The culinary joys of Florence
      I very much enjoyed our tour with Valerie which was informative and entertaining at the same time! I took part on the first day of my stay, and it was good to know where to go back for a good meal or for buying really delicious cantucci .

      Authentic, interesting, funny, great introduction to Florence.
      The tour was really great, the guide had a great rapport with both the guests and the business owners we visited. It was really authentic, and at a nuts and bolts level great value for the price. I would suggest doing this tour early in the stay, as it’s a great introduction to both the food and the history of the city.

      Interesting food tour!
      The tour was good with the lovely Valerie … just a bit hard to hear at times. Enjoyed all the nibbles at the different stops. Very disappointed in the pasta dish - it was the worst I’ve tasted anywhere!

      Delicious food and exercise
      This was a great experience. Gordano, our guide, was knowledgeable and fun. We tried all sorts of things from 15 year old balsamic vinegar and truffle honey to fried dough sandwiches and freshly made gelato. There were special considerations given to food requirements, vegetarian, as well.

      This is a fun way to get to know Florence!
      Marylisa was wonderful. We enjoyed her knowledge as much as the wonderful foods we tried. She was very thoughtful towards my parents who needed a slower pace. We even went back to one of the restaurants on our tour for dinner! We’d highly recommend this experience.

      This is the food tour you were looking for
      I wanted to do this to expand my palette and try some authentic local food. I was not disappointed. It was such an incredible experience. Lorenzo made everyone feel included and was well liked by all the locals. Great guy and very knowledgeable on history of the city architecture and cuisine. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The best experience I’ve had on my vacation. Arrive hungry

      Great authentic experience!
      This tour was a great value in comparison to other local tours and we had more than enough great food! The star of the show was really our guide Lorenzo though! He told us so many interesting facts about the food, the history of the city, and the culture of Italy! He also gave us a ton of great advice for traveling in Florence and other cities!

    We did a morning Uffizi tour with Martina with 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 6-12). Martina was the best guide we have ever had, for both kids and adults alike. She has a deep knowledge of the museum content, often pointing out certain things that we could tell no other guide did. But at the same time she was great at keeping the kids engaged with the treasure hunt/ trivia game, and also how to best navigate the museum, knowing exactly when and where to take a break or keep moving. As an example, for many of the paintings, she had the kids come up close and then sit on the floor, while she described what was so special about that piece. All of the adults learned a lot, and I was surprised that the kids were genuinely captivated and had energy for the entire tour. I can’t speak for the other guides, but would not hesitate to recommend Martina.

    The family tour of the Uffizi was excellent! Our guide Ginerva was wonderful. We liked how this tour wasn't a scavenger hunt. The game Ginerva had the kids play engaged them and made them study each art piece so that they got the most out of the experience. We were so grateful to have seen the Uffizi this way

    Grazie mille, Martina (our guide) was fabulous, the kids had a blast and an amazing time (and we too) 👍. We also had perfect insight for a great pizzeria and amazing gellateria for for the kids, both a bit off the beaten tracks, more « local » flavored (i.e. less turistico 😎). Thanks again for making our discovery of Firenze such an unforgettable memory.

    Disappointed. I booked the private tour for kids at the Uffizi Gallery several months in advance at 9am and was notified in the evening before the tour that my tour was canceled. They offered another tour at 2:30 but we had a train ticket booked already to leave Florence. When I wrote the company that 2:30 time would not work, they refunded my money but did not bother to offer any other tours that morning. Had to scramble to find another tour!

    My family and I spent the day in Florence and this tour made all the difference. Iliana was our tour guide and was great with our kids. Very informative and professional.

    Rosanna was our trip coordinator and help with trip changes, parking recommendations, and tour details.

    Highly recommend this service if you are travelling with kids.

    I would recommend anyone with young children to consider this tour. My twin boys aged 9 enjoyed it very much as it was easily the most rewarding tour they had during our 2-week, 4-city, 6-tour trip. Our guide Giovanna is knowledgeable and passionate with a constant smile. She came fully prepared for the kids from the moment we met - starting with "reward system" she would be using if they do good and the history of Uffizi, followed by a series of well-planned stops where she gave the history and story of every painting, along with key characteristics of it and its place in the evolution of painting. The history of the Medici family and its influence in Florence and the Renaissance was also introduced as we went along in between paintings. My whole family enjoyed the entire tour, and all of us learned a lot. The most important: My boys were never bored the entire 2.5 hours!

    Our guide me the tour of the Uffizzi very fun and entertaining for not only the adults, but the teens and the kindergartners as well.

    The adults felt that they had learned and seen some things they have never seen before. The guide was also very patient and humorous with the children, so that the whole visit was a real pleasure.
