Best value food tour
"One of the best value food tasting tours we have done. Giordano was a great host, there was not too much walking in the heat , but the tastings were really good in terms of quality and more surprising was the quantity of the tastings.

Great Day in the Chianti Countryside
"It was a rainy day, but that didn't create an issue at all! Our bus driver, Leo, was incredibly charming (and a talented guitar player) who made the trip fun, informative and kept us out of the rain as much as possible. The three wineries we visited were gracious hosts and we came away with better knowledge of the Chianti area, history and types of wine available. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we ordered a case to be shipped home from one of the wineries. Would highly recommend this tour. It's full day, but incredibly the time flied and we had a fantastic time."

What to eat in Florence (and where):

Coccoli - soft dough balls

Coccoli are simple fried dough balls, salty, oily and so enjoyable. Small in size, these treats are perfect comfort food. You can find them served in paper cones for a to-go snack, served along prosciutto and stracciatella cheese at trattorias in Florence. We love those from "Forno Canapa", small bakery close to Mercato Centrale. They are so amazingly delicious, that you won't be able to stop at just one. To taste more addictive coccoli, join this morning Florence street food tour!

Schiacciata sandwich (crunchy and tasteful)

You can't miss eating schiacciata sandwich, while in Florence, as you can find eateries offering them everywhere in the city. Crunchy and richly stuffed, these sandwiches can replace a lunch or dinner. Stuffings are diverse, from salami, ham, mortadella, ricotta, mozzarella, grilled zucchini, porchetta... We adore schiacciata sandwiches from 'I' Girone De' Ghiotti' (Via de Cimatori, 23R), close to Piazza della Signoria. Their sandwiches are freshly prepared, warmed and so tasteful. You'll be back here for sure.

Lampredotto (unique meat dish)

Those adventurous (and everyone else) should try lampredotto panini. Lampredotto is made from cow's stomach, which is slowly cooked with onion, parsley, tomato and celery. Once cooked, it's slices into stripes and stuffed into a panini together with green sauce.

Panini con lampredotto, the quintessential Florentine street food, sell from trippai or lampredottai food vans all over the city: piazza Beccaria, piazza Sant’Ambrogio, Porta Romana and Mercato del Porcellino, among others. Try tasteful lampredotto on this morning Florence food tour!

Bistecca alla Fiorentina (The Florentine steak)

Meat lovers will adore this iconic thick-cut T-bone steak from the Chianina breed. The steak is grilled for a couple of minutes on each side. The outside should be almost charred and inside should be very rare. Once cooked, it should be sprinkled with some olive oil and salt and served with baked potatoes. For a true Florentine steak take part in this evening Florence food tour in Oltrarno!
