Guidekin's take

Daytime Oltrarno walk in our Food & Wine Tours comparison.

Trade-off: Severe food allergies rule it out.

Last checked: September 18, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

Overview

Guidekin summary

A food walk on the Oltrarno side of the river rather than around the Duomo: Tuscan street food, a wine stop at a historic fiaschetteria, cheese and cured meats at a deli, cantucci with coffee and a gelato, in groups capped at twelve. It needs two guests to run, and severe food allergies rule it out. 4.96 from 544 reviews at €94 per person.
