WHAT YOU’LL DO
The Florence street food morning tour is a 3-hr relaxing walking tour around the markets and backstreets of the city center to taste the best local street food. We have designed a tour that combines the culinary experience with history, arts and handicraft. The Streaty street food Florence tour starts from the Sant’Ambrogio market, a real Florentine spot unknown by the tourists, a perfect location to learn about local cuisine and cooking habits. During the Sant’Ambrogio market tour, Streaty guides point out at the seasonal products explaining traditional recipes and engaging with the vendors to discuss the daily products on sale. The market offers many tasty options, such as the classic crostino nero (chicken liver pate), some tasty pecorino cheese and salami coming from the surrounding hills of Tuscany.
As it happens in all tours offered by Streaty, the Florence walking food tour is not just about eating. We offer a comprehensive cultural city experience. Along this tasty walking tour of Florence travellers will also learn about history, traditions and local handicraft.
The Itinerary has been carefully designed in order to make foodies taste the most traditional street food specialties of Florence, such as the fried coccolo with stracchino cheese and the challenging panino al lampredotto, probably the most beloved by the locals.
