# Florence Food & Local Flavors Tour with Eating Europe

**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 544 reviews at €94 per person.

## Overview

Join us for a relaxed and authentic experience away from the crowds of the Duomo area.

Stroll through the historic streets of Florence’s Oltrarno on this 3-hour food and wine tour. Discover Tuscan street food and hearty traditional dishes, taste wine from a historic fiaschetteria, stop at a deli for cheese and cured meats, and finish with artisanal gelato while meeting the families who have served locals for generations.
