Food tasting at 5 locations
Tips (optional)
Great! A helpful text message reminder, sent a photo of guide, helpful immediate response at the start of the tour - all of these were reassuring and appreciated. Gennaro was the best inspiring guide; giving insights through the food we ate into the culture and history with an approachable, warm, generous, kind and professional manner. If we only had one day in Florence- this would tick every box for us. Thank you for helping make our stay a memorable experience using this guide and tour.
