Highlights
Progressive Art and Food Tour (woven into your walk)
Meets your Local Licensed Guide at the train station Santa Maria Novella or your Hotel in Florence and short walk to Piazza della Repubblica.
Start like a Florentine with an aromatic espresso or cappuccino paired with a fresh cornetto and other delicatessen at this storied pastry café—perfect fuel for the morning’s art and architecture.
Continue to the Accademia Gallery to admire Michelangelo’s David.
It is time now to start our food tour: Stop at Antica Porchetteria Granieri for a warm porchetta panino, or try the city’s iconic lampredotto—slow-cooked tripe tucked into a crusty roll with salsa verde and a dash of broth. A true local taste of Florence’s market tradition.
Experience a “wine window” (Buchetta del Vino) the tiny Renaissance hatch once used for selling wine directly from cellars. Enjoy a small glass poured through the opening—an only-in-Florence moment that connects past and present.
Our guide will take you for a Wine Tasting & Light Lunch at Enoteca wine store.
Settle in for a curated tasting flight (think Chianti Classico, Vernaccia, or a Super Tuscan) paired with schiacciata toscana—Tuscan flatbread layered with artisanal salumi, pecorino, and seasonal preserves. A light, elegant pause in a beloved enoteca.
Conclude our food experience with cantucci dipped in Vin Santo—almond biscuits and amber dessert wine—the quintessential Florentine finale at traditional Biscottificio (bakery)
Continue to Ponte Vecchio, lined with artisan jewelleries, then through the elegant piazza della Signoria with its palazzi and designer boutiques.
Your tour concludes at Piazza Santa Croce, an excellent area to continue exploring, or browse leather workshops and specialty shops.
