We had a great time on the tour. Thankyou Francesco for making this a highlight of our time in Florence. We were a group of 10 (4 adults and 6 teenagers) and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. So good to hit the back streets and see where the locals eat and shop. Francesco also throws in some local history and great tips for a great stay in Florence. Also catered for vegetarians without any fuss. A must do tour

I went on a couple tours with them and have nothing but amazing things to say about this company! I did The Other Side of Florence food tour with Elisa and she was an absolute joy! She took me around to all these wonderful little shops, taught me so much about Florentine food, and gave me a true peak into what the culture looks like here. I also loved the variety of stops we took on the tour—from a little cheese shop, to a pastry shop, street food, wine bar, and then gelato! It truly was a taste of everything.

As a family of four (Mum, Dad and two teenage boys), we were so happy we booked this tour. Different members of the family had varying highlights, one of the boys were delighted to meet "the King of Cheese" while I loved the "little doors of Paradise". I don't want to give too many surprises away. Every stop on the tour was facinating, packed full of stories and anecdotes, expertly told by our expert host. Antonella, herself was very chatty and friendly, we really felt like she loved her job as tour guide and also loved Florence and its wonderful cuisine. Everyone should take this tour!
