Discover Florence through food

The Florence Food Tour is a private walking experience that introduces the city through its culinary traditions and everyday flavors. Food in Florence is deeply connected to history, social life and local identity, and this tour reveals how simple ingredients became symbols of the city’s culture.

Rather than a rushed tasting itinerary, this experience combines food stops with storytelling, offering context and meaning behind what you taste. It is an ideal way to understand Florence beyond monuments, using cuisine as a gateway to local life.

Street food, wine windows and tradition

Led by Angela Buriani, the tour includes iconic Florentine specialties such as traditional street food, historic wine windows and local delicacies such as truffle sandwich. Special attention is given to the famous lampredotto sandwich, a symbol of Florentine popular cuisine, recently rediscovered by international audiences (and famously appreciated by Stanley Tucci) as well as local top-quality gelato.

Angela explains how food habits developed over centuries, shaped by economy, class and geography. Along the way, you will learn where locals eat, what to order and how to recognize authentic flavors.

The pace is relaxed, allowing time to taste, talk and enjoy the city without rushing.
