About this tour
Spend three and a half hours exploring Florence's San Lorenzo quarter with a local guide, stopping at neighbourhood spots to eat your way through the district's best offerings. You'll taste lampredotto, fresh pasta, local cheeses and cured meats, finish with gelato, and encounter a surprise dish along the way. This isn't a museum tour—it's a working food market neighbourhood where Florentines actually shop and eat.

What to expect
Expect to walk at a steady pace between 4–5 food stops spread across San Lorenzo, the neighbourhood where Florentines have shopped for centuries. You'll stand at counters, taste dishes as locals do, and hear why each producer matters to the area. The guide connects each stop to Florence's culinary past and present—no lengthy speeches, just context that makes the food land harder. There's a surprise element built in; the 'secret dish' keeps everyone guessing. Bring an appetite and comfortable shoes.
