About this tour

Begin at a historic café where intellectuals and artists have gathered for centuries, then progress through a chocolatier's contemporary takes on cocoa pairings, a family-run shop specialising in the almond biscuit Cantucci, and finish with gelato—including a coffee-infused option if you fancy extending your caffeine adventure.

What to expect
Your guide will walk you between four carefully chosen stops, each representing a different chapter of Italian indulgence. The opening venue sets the scene with centuries of Florentine social history baked into its walls. You'll taste how chocolate makers today approach flavour layering and balance. The Cantucci stop feels intimate—a chance to try the almond biscuit in its proper setting. The final gelato shop lets you either stick with coffee notes or explore their rotating house flavours. The pace is leisurely; expect roughly 20–25 minutes per stop with unhurried sampling and chatting.
