FLORENCE FOOD MARKET TOUR

Florence Food Market Tour

Foodies traveling to Florence will enjoy this fun, informative and tasty walking tour of one of the largest and oldest food markets in the region. Join your guide, an English-speaking native of Florence who has been shopping at this local market for over 10 years, as she leads you on a two-hour tour of the San Lorenzo market.

Along the way you’ll see stands serving up the popular local street food specialty lampredotto, which is made with tripe. Smell, see and touch the colorful seasonal fruits and vegetables as your guide explains how the locals prepare and use them in traditional Tuscan recipes. Explore the countless varieties of fresh pasta.

Meet the friendly purveyors who will offer up tastings and samples of local Italian cheeses, salumi, prosciutto, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

You can follow your tour with lunch (not included in tour price) at a local trattoria, steps from the market, which serves traditional Florentine fare, including the thick and juicy Bistecca Fiorentina, a Tuscan delicacy.
