Interesting guide and very good food. Lots of walking. We booked an early tour which was less hot and crowded than a later tour would have been.
We had a lovely time walking around a local area in Florence. We visited family run shops and a local market. The food samples were delicious and there was a side of history. Excellent tour!
Ana was fantastic!!!!! We went to the more authentic Florence places and she was so fun and knowledgeable! I was a little under the weather and she helped me find a pharmacy. She was great with the kids and it was also a very informative tour of the city. Would highly recommend Ana!
Unfortunately it was very wine focused even though after the second glass, I stated that I didn’t want to drink anymore.
Dear Lina, Thank you for sharing this with us. A food tour should feel tailored to you, and once you expressed that you preferred to skip the wine, your guide should have adapted accordingly. We're sorry that didn't happen. We will be speaking with the guide about this directly. Listening to guests and adjusting on the go is a core part of what makes a great Withlocals experience, and we want to make sure that standard is upheld. Florence and its food scene have so much more to offer and we hope you still enjoyed the tastings and the city itself. We would love to have you back for an experience that truly hits the mark. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team
I have done food tours all over the world. This was the worst. The “bakery style” pizza served at the last stop was not something you need a guide to find. We all left hungry even though we had signed up for “ten tasting” which was only three stops.
Dear Amy, Thank you for sharing this, and we hear you. Florence has an extraordinary food scene and a Withlocals tour should do it full justice. We want to clarify that the number of stops is planned at the host's discretion, and the experience is designed around the tastings themselves rather than the locations. That said, if you felt the tour fell short of the ten tastings promised, that is something we take seriously and will be looking into with the guide directly. We hope Florence worked its magic on you in other ways, and we would love the chance to welcome you back for an experience that truly reflects what our city tours are all about. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team
Maria was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and we really appreciated the way she shared insights about the city throughout the tour. She introduced us to some hidden gems we likely wouldn’t have found on our own, which made the experience feel unique and local. That said, for the price of the tour, we were expecting more food. We’ve done several food tours before, and they typically leave us feeling very full by the end. In this case, the portions felt a bit limited in comparison. If the experience is intended to focus more on the history of Florence rather than the food itself, it might be worth adjusting the pricing to better reflect that balance. Additionally, the description mentions “6 tastings,” but this doesn’t necessarily mean six separate stops it can refer to the total number of items served, which was a bit unclear and different from what we’ve experienced on other tours. Overall, Maria made the tour enjoyable, but a bit more clarity and value on the food side would make the experience even better.
Dear Lauren, What a lovely reflection on your time in Florence with Maria. We will absolutely pass your kind words on to her. Knowing that she brought hidden gems and genuine local insight to your experience is exactly what we hope for from every Withlocals tour. Your point about the tastings is well taken. The six tastings refer to the total number of items rather than stops, and we agree that this could be communicated more clearly upfront. Your feedback is genuinely helpful and we will look at how we can make that description more transparent for future guests. We hope Florence left you with wonderful memories and that Maria's warmth and knowledge made it a day to remember. We would love to welcome you back for another adventure with us. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team
You will get to try some different foods and learn a little more about Florence! We had a wonderful time and our guide Eden was delightful!
Amazing Experience!! Anna was so kind, knowledgable, and made our trip to Florence unforgettable!!!!
Ana was a great guide, giving us some history on Florence and the food. We went to a few places that we would have never even stopped at had it not been for this tour and the food was great.
This private food tour was amazing! Our guide was Mara and she was fun, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and had great food choices. We liked that it was just our family on the tour versus a huge group. Grazie Mara!!
