★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 224 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $113

Spend about three hours around San Lorenzo and Mercato Centrale with an English-speaking guide. Taste cantucci and Vin Santo, pecorino, truffle products, lampredotto, Tuscan wine, coffee, and gelato. Guides such as Tina, Alice, Kiara, Anto, Francesco, Ely, and Gaia bring the food stalls and Medici district to life.

“We ended up being the only ones on the tour so we got a private tour with Kiara! The first part was taken by her trying to figure out what had become of the other couple, but once she figured out they weren’t coming she gave us her full attention. We did the Mercato Centrale tour because we are staying at a Airbnb and wanted to supply it with some food from the market. Kiara has great relationships with the vendors and we got to try a variety of Tuscan foods and drinks. It was a generous amount of food and we took notes as to what to come back…”
