Experience Details

At the Sant'Ambrogio Market and Borgo Pinti, you’ll go on a tasty tour of some of Florence’s best bites – like schiacciata, a flatbread covered in salt and oil, or lampredotto sandwich – boiled cow’s intestine in a herbed green sauce. At Alessi, a family-run wine bar, pair a Tuscan red with local bread and oil, then try visanto, a uniquely flavored dessert wine. Stop off at a cafe for coffee and cake (Torta della Nonna, a flaky custard tart, always goes down well), and end with a creamy Italian gelato in a unique flavor from Strega Nocciola.


Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
