(last checked September 18, 2026) ## Overview As the sun drops over the Arno River, you'll cross into Oltrarno, the quieter half of Florence that locals never left. Your guide walks you into a centuries-old fiaschetteria for local wine paired with plates built on Tuscan cucina povera, out to a wine window still used exactly as it was in Florence's plague years, and into a deli where the self-appointed King of Cheese let's you try his best pecorino and parmigiano cheeses. There's a Negroni lesson at a historic wine shop, a slow-cooked stew to go with your Super Tuscan wine, and a gelato finish from the shop Florentines voted their own favorite. A small group, and six or seven carefully selected stops. ## Key facts - Price: from €109 per person - Duration: 3h 30m - Rating: 4.95/5 from 5993 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Florence Food Tours by Eating Europe ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Small-Group Food Tour (12 max) | €109 / person | English | Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes | | Private Food Tour Upgrade | €193 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Enjoy a more intimate, personalised food experience, shared exclusively with your group.
