Foodies will love it!

Linda, our tour guide was excellent. She was very kind and knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs (one member in a wheelchair). The variety of meets, cheeses, wines and gelato we got to try was wonderful. Definitely a worthwhile experience for “foodies”!

A Tasty Adventure with CiaoFlorence :)

The food tour with CiaoFlorence was awesome! We got to taste local food and learn how cheese and meats are made. Our professional chef guide Matteo was super passionate and explained everything well. Plus, we got to try some amazing wines and finished off with the most amazing cheesecake gelato. It was a tasty adventure that I'll never forget! Huge thanks to CiaoFlorence for a great time!
