Florence Food Market Tour Description
This tour is perfect for people staying in Florence who want to learn more about the typical dishes of the Tuscan area. You will meet your expert guide at the Cibreo Caffe, where you will have a real Italian ‘caffè’ standing at the ‘banco’ or bar like the Italians do, before strolling across to the Sant’Ambrogio market.
Why have we chosen this market? Because it is close yet just far enough away from the historic center to make this a truly LOCAL market. Indeed, it is also where many of our guides shop for their fresh produce!
Once inside, you will start your culinary journey. You will not only try the local produce, but you will also hear all the stories that the stallholders & producers at the market have to offer.
You will try local delicacies such as the local typical bread of the area that is still being produced in the same way the Florentines did in ages past, creamy cheeses, a variety of cold cuts, and, of course, what better way to end this food tour than with a gelato!
