The tour begins near the obelisk, where an English-speaking local guide meets the group and explains the culinary traditions and history behind each dish. The first stop is on Via Guelfa, where participants enjoy a classic Florentine aperitivo that includes Tuscan cured meats, local cheeses, and a glass of regional wine. The tour then continues near Palazzo Medici Riccardi, where guests taste handmade Tuscan pasta such as pici in a well-regarded trattoria. Next, the group moves to a trattoria close to Piazza Santa Trinita to sample traditional vegetable soups, Pappa al Pomodoro and Ribollita, which are recipes passed down through generations. Afterward, the tour pauses on Via dei Neri to try schiacciata, a focaccia bread filled with local ingredients, served as a street food snack. The final stop is near Ponte Santa Trinita, where guests choose between gelato or a traditional pastry like cantucci, depending on the season and availability. The tour includes an English-speaking local guide, water, alcoholic beverages, and all meals sampled. It is conducted mainly in English and Italian, with other languages available upon request.
