Guidekin's take
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 550 reviews at €94 per person.
In our comparison: #3 of 9 in Food & Wine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
